If he does come, hopefully that's the reason, but there is an argument that Bournemouth's squad is better than ours. There is an increasingly strong possibility they could be playing Champion's League football next season, or at least Europa, so I would ask what it is that we are offering that they are not? We have a much bigger ground, and we're not in Bournemouth, which I suppose are two pluses.

Maybe Bournemouth are at a stage in their 3 year cycle where they cant spend any money next year (no new players - only outgoings, to keep in with PSR - shades of Nuno at Wolves) & we are in the first year of a new one, hence being able to buy JSL & BJ ?

Not to Man City it isn't. They mask it all with loans and ridiculous sponsorship deals from their airline.

I very much doubt Iraola will end up at Palace. You have to ask, why is he leaving Bournemouth after all the success he has had? Moving to Palace isn't that much of a step up and we lose our best players the same way Bournemouth do. I expect he is looking for a club with Champions League potential and not a selling club. There is a chance Parish can persuade him, it would would be a bigger coup, than him getting control of the club.

Not much of a step up ?
So when was the last time Bournemouth won the FA Cup, the Charity Shield and got to the final of one of the three multi league European Cup Finals ?

You could also ask the question - What would he have to do to be seen as a success at Palace, OG winning 2, possibly 3 trophies in 2 years would be a tough act for anyone to follow -

I agree with the ‘why?’ question. It would be great news in my view if this happens but I am a bit baffled by it.

Did hear Parish was on his knees when talking to him 🫣🫣

Dare I ask "doing what exactly whilst on his knees?"

No not really. Glasner achieved our cup success and Iraola has got Bournemouth into Europe via their League position. Glasner is a cup specialist, that doesn't make Palace a step up from Bournemouth.
