Seven defeats in, Pierre Sage's exit from Crystal Palace looks inevitable, with former Tottenham Hotspur manager Thomas Frank heading the list of potential successors. The Dane enjoyed a successful spell at Brentford from 2018 to 2025 before struggling at Tottenham, where he was sacked with the club 16th. Change is on its way.
"I think the decision will be made, unfortunately for Pierre Sage. I think Palace will have a new manager the next time they play in the Premier League," Jamie Carragher said after the 3-1 defeat by Liverpool. Sage himself insisted: "Football is about efficiency. If we create these chances, it's a good step. But the next step is to score. If not, it's as [if] you did nothing."
