Overview
- Palace lost 2-0 at Tottenham on Saturday after Jean-Philippe Mateta was sent off early, leaving the team down to 10 men and unable to recover.
- The defeat leaves Crystal Palace with one win in nine league games and sitting in the relegation zone after a run of heavy goals conceded.
- Sage publicly urged fans to trust him and said his future "is not me to decide," signalling he accepts the board will make the call.
- Club chairman Steve Parish attended the Tottenham match and media reporting says the board is conducting due diligence on managers including Thomas Frank, Sean Dyche and Championship boss Tonda Eckert.
- Palace face European and league fixtures before the break and the club has framed the November international window as the likely moment to decide the manager’s fate while urging players to improve performances on the pitch.
