While he admits there are "regrets" over how things turned out, he believes it would have been foolish to continue with the Dutchman in charge
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish believes it would have been negligent not to sack Frank de Boer, although he understands criticism of the swift decision.
De Boer was given just four Premier League games in charge at Selhurst Park - resulting in four defeats without a goal scored by the Eagles - before he was replaced by Roy Hodgson last week.
And while Parish acknowledged the former Ajax and Inter coach was not given long, he feels it was clear that things were not going to plan.
