Frank de Boer would bring Total Football to Crystal Palace - brother

Crystal Palace fans should be prepared for "Total Football" if Dutchman Frank de Boer takes charge of the team, according to his twin brother Ronald.

Former Ajax, Barcelona and Rangers defender De Boer appears in pole position for the vacancy at Selhurst Park, where he would become the eighth manager in seven years as the board eye an appointment for the long term.

Sam Allardyce had made his Palace side a well-drilled unit as they pulled themselves clear of the Premier League relegation zone at the end of last season, only for the ex-England manager to then decide to leave the club in May.
