SAM ALLARDYCE'S STATEMENT - FROM CRYSTAL PALACE'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE

In some ways, this has been a very difficult decision to make, but in others it has been a simple one.

I will always be grateful to Crystal Palace and Steve Parish for giving me the opportunity to go out with my head held high having helped keep the club in the Premier League.

More than that, they gave me a chance of rebuilding my reputation after what happened with England. I felt I needed another shot at being a Premier League manager and showing that I still had the ability to achieve something significant. As I said last weekend, Palace gave me the chance of rehabilitation.

That’s why it’s hard walking away now. I think the club are heading in the right direction with a hugely supportive board of directors, a great squad of players and some of the most passionate fans I’ve ever met. It’s been a privilege to have worked here for the past five months.

But there comes a time when you have to take stock of what direction you want your life to take - and that’s been the simple part for me.

I want to be able to savour life while I’m still relatively young and when I’m still relatively healthy enough to do all the things I want to do, like travel, spend more time with my family and grandchildren without the huge pressure that comes with being a football manager.

This is the right time for me. I have no ambitions to take another job, I simply want to be able to enjoy all the things you cannot really enjoy with the 24/7 demands of managing any football club, let alone one in the Premier League.

Steve Parish has been superb during our conversations today. I know it came as a shock to him that I would walk away but our discussions have been incredibly civilised with no recriminations and no fall-out.

This is not about transfer targets, finances or anything along those lines. This is me taking the decision I believe is right for my family and myself.

I would like to thank everybody for their messages of support since the news broke. I’ve no doubt I will miss management, but I certainly have no regrets at this decision.

NEXT CRYSTAL PALACE BOSS ODDS


23/05/17

Former Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri has emerged as the favourite to replace Sam Allardyce as Crystal Palace boss at 5/2.

The Italian has been out of work since being sacked by the Foxes in February following a poor defence of their shock Premier League title success the previous season.
Former Eagles defender Chris Coleman, who is currently manager of Wales, is next in the running at 4/1 having initially been made the early favourite.

Fulham boss Slavisa Jokanovic is 6/1 after an impressive season which saw him take the Cottagers into the play-offs, where they lost to Reading in the semi-finals, while Hull manager Marco Silva is 8/1.

Former England manager Roy Hodgson was an early front runner at 4/1 but he's since drifted to 10/1 while the likes of Aitor Karanka (12/1), Brendan Rodgers (12/1) and Ryan Giggs (12/1) are also notable outsiders.

TalkSport were discussing the possibility of Big Sam going to China for two years and (in fairness) were of the opinion that he was still capable of winning a trophy at home

However, reading his statement, it appears that perhaps the trauma of what (mainly through his own making) he had to endure over the last year has finally caught up with him and he needs to take time out and refocus on the things that really matter, i.e. his supportive family

I lost respect for Big Sam over the England debacle but no one can say he isn't a good manager able to work with limited resources and I wish him all the best in whatever he chooses to do next :ayatollah:

It was suggested today that the reason for him leaving so suddenly was that one of the victims of the manachestef bombing was a close family friend, and this is why no one had any inclination about his decision, does seem to fit with his statement ?
