the latter... we need a businessman with a plan..

Parish was a businessman when he took us over and if his plan was to get us promoted, stay there for 13 years and win some trophies, he’s not done too bad
We could’ve got a businessman who didn’t give a toss about the football let alone support the club

 

[Normandie Eagle]

We already know who's leaving. Sarr and Mateta, maybe Mitchell won't renew. Disasi and the Chelsea loanee aren't ours, nor is Osorio and Guessand. So that is droves, seven, I guess but not a surprise. Mitchell could renew - of them all he's the only one I'd actually care about, frankly.

Did I read somewhere that Richards is out of contract in the summer?

 

[Fleximan]

Not sure but think a few are. Being in a relagation battle won't help that side of things either

 

[Willo]

Hobbs was responsible for Wolves recruitment of many players that were sold on at huge profit and now play at higher level clubs. Cunha being one.
I'm not saying he has done a good job at Palace. He hasn't but Some on here go way over the top when trying to blame Hobbs for everything from lack of signings to too expensive ones. Parish has the final say

Matt Hobbs joined Wolves in 2015 and fulfilled roles as Head of Player recruitment and Chief Scout.
I believe he was appointed as Sporting Director in 2022.
You are correct about the signings whilst he was at the club.

So presumably you think Hobbs should be kept on then?

He literally says that he doesn't say that!!

I believe so, with Italian clubs supposedly interested.
Mitchell is supposed to be of interest to Manchester United ( a Luke Shaw replacement).
The transition has a long way to go as the new manager will also have his own ideas/ demands.
The Glasner period (more or less same team most games over a couple of seasons) will look like a model of stability.

 

[maninblack]

So, is he going or not? It does seem to be dragging out somewhat.
The longer we wait, the more I think he will be given Coventry and Hull before a decision is made.

Why do Palace always drag everything out...... it's painful!

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

You are confusing the lack of public pronouncements with procrastination.

I don’t think for one moment that nothing is happening. Delaying the announcements until all the ducks are in a row is how we do things. Steve doesn’t react to media speculation or pressure.

Mate Parish doesn’t react at all until he panics - see the last January window for that..!!

Maybe waiting for Carrick ?

But I’ve been assured by many on here that he isn’t a Premier League defender, so that shouldn’t matter really.

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

So another day goes by and still nothing from our Chairman or Board.

We are bottom of the league with a Manager clearly out of his depth and bereft of any idea how to turn things around.

Just follows the same pattern of procrastination of recent transfer windows from SP and the board.

Come on Steve do something.

 

[Plaistow Eagle]

Mate I’d take Carrick..!!

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Injured before we finalised it, I believe.

That explains it. Our medical team said - It looks like a broken leg. Try to run it off and we'll see you in January.

 

[doombear]

Did I read somewhere that Richards is out of contract in the summer?

Probably as his contract does end next Summer as does those of Mitchell, Mateta, Hughes, Lerma and Kamada

 

[PatrickA]

Reading between the lines it would appear that the delay is being caused by the legal/ contractual/ financial issues.

We may have to borrow the Nottingham Forest owner to send the boys round.
That should do the trick.

Frustrating beyond belief,but at least we will have Paddy Mac in charge temporarily for the vital Coventry 6 pointer!!

Trouble is with our set up it would be a few seven year old boys who didn't know what to do.

Yep I’ve blamed him it’s his job he gets paid well & he’s failed
