Pressure lands on Sage after Newcastle defeat
Crystal Palace lost 2-0 at home to Newcastle United on Sunday, and Monday’s newspapers wasted no time asking what comes next for Pierre Sage.

Dyche is the kind of appointment clubs reach for when results turn and a bottom-half scrap looms: an experienced Premier League manager known for organised, hard-to-beat sides. Whether Palace’s hierarchy want that profile, or something different, is the question the next few days will answer.
