Crystal Palace fan Ollie Thomas believes Pierre Sage should be sacked and replaced by Thomas Frank before someone else hires the former Brentford and Tottenham boss.

Reflecting on the defeat to Newcastle, Ollie said: "Another sad day at Selhurst Park and another 20 minutes of utter defensive implosion has cost us.

"I think it's more evidence Pierre Sage needs to go.

"I like him as a manager and he's someone I wanted to get behind.

"When a manager plays exciting, attacking football, you're more inclined to want it to work because you're ultimately being entertained. We've played some really good football at times and our games have been entertaining, but the way we set up is not Premier League ready.

"Sage can point to a lot of issues, like the personnel in defence and the recruitment over the summer, but we should not be conceding two goals a game.

"It's costing us every game and that's on the manager. I don't see a world where our performances across 90 minutes change unless we sack Sage.

"There are some good managers available, Thomas Frank in particular is someone I would love at Palace.

"The first team to sack their manager near the bottom of the league will get Frank and they will stay up. That has to be us.

"So it's a shame, but I think Sage's time is up."

Do you agree that Sage's tenure at Palace is near the end? Or do you think he deserves more time? And if Sage isn't the right man, is Thomas Frank?
