Palmer knows that he did his bit to help the team, but believes they will be much stronger as a group after the learning experiences of this past term.
He posted on social media to departing coach Mauricio Pochettino: Gaffer thank you for everything and for making my dreams come true."
Palmer told The Sun: When he first came he installed the foundations and made sure everyone knew what was required.
Then he started to teach us what he wanted to do. But first we needed that base.
As a man-manager, he would push you if you slack off.
He's been really good for me. He kept me relaxed and we had a really good relationship.
He had a tough job, half the team has been injured some very important players, too so it's been difficult for him.
But everyone loved him. All the players did and he's been very important for me as well."
