Crystal Palace to give Sage more time but manager under serious scrutiny

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage is facing serious scrutiny and increasing pressure following a humiliating 5-0 defeat away to Brighton on Sunday. The heavy loss has brought the team's defensive vulnerabilities into sharp focus, leaving the French manager under strict warning to quickly improve performances.

Despite the intense pressure and the identification of potential replacements—including McKenna and Frank—the club has chosen not to make an immediate change. Sage has been granted additional time by the Crystal Palace leadership to address and rectify the squad's defensive issues.
