George Burley is on the brink at Crystal Palace.

The Daily Mail says Burley has been under immense pressure for weeks but owners Steve Parish and Martin Long had stuck by the former Scotland manager.

But last weekend's miserable 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest was the final straw and sources at Selhurst Park claim Burley's time at Selhurst Park up.

There are claims Burley has lost the dressing room, with several players unhappy with his training methods and perceive his management style as disorganised.

Palace face Norwich on Boxing Day before their trip to fellow strugglers Bristol City two days later. Two straight wins could earn Burley a stay of execution but it seems Parish and Long's minds are made up.
