Since the arrival of manager Pierre Sarge this season, Crystal Palace has continued to slump in the Premier League with two wins, one draw and five losses, sinking to 17th place. In particular, the number of goals conceded is the worst in the league at 19, and the manager's position has become even more difficult due to consecutive defeats to Brighton and Newcastle. The club is already considering Sean Dyche and Thomas Frank as potential successors, and it is thought that there will be little delay as manager Serge.
The British newspaper ``The Guardian'' reported that Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish decided not to sack him after the match against Newcastle, citing a busy schedule. However, he points out that if they lose in Round 9 of the Premier League against Tottenham Hotspur on November 1st and suffer a third consecutive defeat, the possibility of a manager change will increase. Coach Serge has the support of the main players, but as long as results are not achieved, opinions among the club's upper management are divided.
Tottenham are on the road to recovery, going unbeaten in three games, including their last two wins. This game will be an important turning point for Coach Sarge. A win would give the club momentum to get back on its feet, but a loss would likely accelerate the move to replace the manager. All eyes will be on how the club interprets the current situation and decides on its next steps.
The key to the future direction of the club is an agreement between chairman Parrish and manager Serge. If the manager remains, he will be required to immediately review tactics and change the selection of players. On the other hand, if a replacement is decided, the selection of candidates and transition to a new system will become an urgent task. In any case, the result of the match against Tottenham will be an important match that will determine the future of the club.
