Relegation?

Willo said:
There have been those who have asserted that they would not be too distraught if we were relegated as it would likely mean more victories and not a perpetual struggle in the PL.
Their views might change when the Championship fixtures are published and there are rows of empty seats at Selhurst Park.
Just ask the supporters of Championship clubs where they would rather be playing next season.

One way or another it would freshen it up, the team would completely change and the fans that are left would be the real fans.
 
if relegation means getting to play Charlton & Millwall & West Ham....home and away. Could be a bit of fun.

If the stadium is only half full, then our management are charging too much for tickets.

Honestly at this point, who cares. At least a half dozen of our players look Championship standard at best. Especially all the new signings. Mitchell & Henderson are too good for us.

The plastic fans can eff-off and support Chelscum, Arsenal, or the seaweed. Palace til i die.
 
Let’s face it if we do go down, as supporters we’ve got the easy bit, we can just f*** off for the summer on our holidays and forget it for a few months and come back in august ready to start moaning at everything Steve Parish does or doesn’t do.
He’s the poor bugger with the stress of it all
 
in terms of emotions & entertainment.....

i would rather bounce up and down the leagues than being a boring mediocrity like Everton/Spurs. Those mediocrities never win much, never get promoted, never go down, never entertain. They predictably lose to the top teams and predictably beat the bottom three. Booooooooooring.

or a constant mediocrity like Millwall who never played in the Prem. Palace are a bit like West Brom.....up and down like a wh0res drawers on a Saturday night.

That’s true, and until we won the FA Cup that’s what we’d become, boring premier league mediocrity. Give me the palace rollercoaster any day of the week. It wouldn’t have been hard to predict that after winning three trophies it would all go Pete Tong not long after
 
Christ !! So much doom and gloom on here. We are only 6 points from a top 10 spot ffs. Long way to go yet and if play like we did against Liverpool and with a bit if luck I am sure we will end up mid table as normal
 
It’s basically gross mismanagement by Steve Parish. Player greed by Mateta and Sarr. Horrendous waste of resources on Brennan and JSL. A hotch potch of loans, free transfers and bizarre signings like Gozo in the summer. Not addressing our defence as a priority after selling three of the back 5. It’s not rocket science. We are shocking compared to Brighton, Bournemouth and Brentford. All on the back of 200 million in transfers out and three trophies. Parish meanwhile pays himself 2 million a year to preside over this. I could definitely do a better job.

Sounds like most of the football league could do with employing you then.

It’s not doom and gloom, it’s a few of us discussing that relegation doesn’t frighten us because we’ve been there before and still enjoyed the ride

The doom and gloom comes from people tearing their hair out at the thought of slipping through the trap door, as if the world will come to an end
 
OK, we are at the bottom, but far from left behind. The next two games - Coventry and Hull - will tell us a lot. Less than three points here and we are in serious trouble.Depends on who comes in to take over from Sage. We now need a manager with PL experience - Frank, Dyche or Pereira for me.
 
It’s been great being in with the big boys for the past decade, but in that time we’ve regularly been involved in relegation battles and at times the football has been dire. The league had also become a playground for the big teams leaving the rest of us to hope for a cup run or a chance to play in Europe. We’ve been fortunate to have had both without ever looking safe in the league.

In terms of entertainment value the PL has gone downhill. Possession is everything and while Citeh at their best have been impressive, the teams below them have been a dreadful watch. We now find ourselves back to the days of 1-0 to the Arsenal, a team packed with talent we can only dream of, bringing on “finishers” because £80 million players don’t want to be called substitutes!

I don’t want Palace to get relegated because we need the income from the PL if we’re ever going to rebuild the stadium, but should it happen it would be nice to win a few more games and watch what is generally more entertaining football.

I like this post. It’s mature. We might escape but it seems unlikely. And nobody died. We will come again. And we did win the FA cup and the Conference league cup and the charity shield. Nobody can take that away from us and it’s hard to see Brighton, Bournemouth, Brentford and any of the also fans, all 14 of them doing the same every again.

And we’ll be stuck with a sh!t ground forever. Great.
 
Does it matter that we have a terrible stadium? Despite our catchment area, and all the praise that Steve Parish gets, I feel that we have massively underachieved. We will be relegated this year and maybe the season after too.
