Derry also came back to Palace for a second stint as a player and was well-liked at Selhurst. Warnock hasn't announced his partners in the dugout yet, but it's expected he will bring popular former Eagles midfielder Shaun Derry with him.
An Official Cup of Tea Partner would be lovely, joint with A Jim Daly Biscuit Sponsor. I wouldn't mind having my own official sponsors. Palace have said before they want to be taken more seriously as a Premier League club, so maybe the move to have more of a corporate identity is one of the ways they'll do it. That's almost as many players as in their first team squad. Manchester United have 30 official partners. It makes me feel uncomfortable, but maybe it's just the way things are. The corporate side of football is slowly starting to seep into every part of the game like a slow water leak, and soon everything will be wet with "Official Partner" this and "Club Sponsor" that. and now for today's birthday announcements, but before that, pack up your things Warnock, you've been fired." The lineup being announced by the the cheerleaders or the manager finding out he's sacked by the half-time stadium announcer? I can't recall another time when big news had been broken by a shirt sponsor's Twitter before the official club account, and it's a bit of a worrying precedent. The club didn't announce the news that Warnock had returned to SE25, penning a two-year deal - it was the team's shirt sponsor, Neteller, who did. And while his appointment was a bit like going to a Ferrari showroom and driving away in a Nissan Micra, that's not the most disappointing thing.
The manager has come back to Selhurst for his second stint in the dugout, four years after leaving the club. There's something about the club that some people just can't resist.Īnd now you can add Neil Warnock to that list. Steve Coppell came back as manager FOUR times. But in Palace's case, that rule doesn't seem to apply.ĭavid Hopkin, Sean Derry, Clinton Morrison and Dougie Freedman are just a handful of players who have returned with mixed results.
