It's always bad when you are boarding a sinking ship, for Crystal Palace this is the case and they called the least expected manager to try and save the season. The recently sacked from the England national team, mister Sam Allardyce has been called by Palace to try and avoid relegation by the end of the season. They are just two points away from getting relegated, but expect that Big Sam is the answer hey were looking for.
But Arsene Wenger doesn't think getting saved will be that easy: "The level of confidence and urgency goes up when a new manager comes in and that makes the games more difficult. They have experience and technical quality. They are a team that can be difficult for everybody. But they have some injuries and suspensions so I don't know if they have enough depth."
He continued: "No, not really [surprised] because today the clubs in trouble looked for experienced managers. To stay in the league has become a big problem for everybody and when teams look for managers he was one with the experience and quality. After that it is moral judgment. I don't know how guilty he was of doing something or not. He was in a strong position as national team manager. That means he has the quality to be there."
