Ian Holloway admitted that he had tried to “change too much, too quickly” at Crystal Palace after stepping down as manager on Wednesday.

Holloway confirmed his exit from the club at a London press conference, saying he had come to the end of the road following Monday night’s 4-1 home defeat to fellow strugglers Fulham.

Speculation surrounded Holloway’s job following a meeting with chairman Steve Parish after that game. And the duo appeared together yesterday to confirm Holloway’s departure.
