Second Premier League club sack their manager hours after Carrick dismissal

BREAKING

Sage was appointed in the summer as Oliver Glasner's successor, but after just five months in charge, the Eagles find themselves 20th in the league.

In his report, Sami Mokbel details: "Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool was their fourth successive loss in the Premier League, with Sage's side having won just two of their 10 league matches this season.

"Palace are also 21st in the Europa League, with only one win from their four matches so far.

"Palace also have the worst defensive record in the league, having conceded 24 goals in 10 games."

Former Brentford and Spurs manager Thomas Frank is favourite to take over, and is in advanced talks with the London club.
