Gythio's open letter to the Palace fans
Hello you Eagles,
As most of you now know, i'm no longer the manager of Crystal Palace football club. This letter is written to explain my choices as well as deliver a proper goodbye.
First of, i'd like to express my disappointment over the fact that we've not met our main objective during my time in charge - getting back to first division. Even though we came extremely close last season, i'm well aware that close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
Nevertheless, i firmly believe that the squad i'm leaving behind is capable of big things - as shown in last years road to the cup final, beating the likes of Manchester United and Darlington 1883 on the way.
There comes a time when you need a new challenge in order to grow as a manager and person, which is why I've chosen to undertake the job at Aston Villa.
I'd like to sincerely thank all of you for your relentless support, something i'll never forget.
All the best,
Gythio A
