Another defeat, and the knives are out
Pierre Sage has run out of road at Crystal Palace, if the English press is right. After Sunday’s 3-1 defeat at home to Liverpool, reports reaching RMC Sport say the French coach will not survive the international break. Nothing is official yet.
The numbers explain the mood. Palace sit bottom of the Premier League with ten points and two wins, a rough return for a manager who arrived from Lens this summer.

Who could come in
One name has already pulled clear: Thomas Frank. The Dane has been out of work since Tottenham dismissed him in February, which makes him available straight away. Sky Sports lists several other candidates, including Frank Lampard, Sean Dyche, Vitor Pereira, Kim Hellberg, Vitor Matos and Tony Popovic.
The timing matters. A change during the break would hand a new coach a clean stretch of training sessions before the next league game, a rare luxury in a season this tight at the bottom. Palace have not confirmed a decision, so for now this stays a report, not a done deal.
