Media getting inside information about the inner workings of the club :
Staff leaving in numbers
Pissed off players
Delays to Development
Manager in or Out

The media are circulating whatever they want because action is not happening

The issue about recruitment started to fail as soon as Dougie left

Then Glasner knew s*** all investment was going to be made so jacked it in

Inner club staff likely also feeling financial pinch so they started having high turnover

Sage realizing Prem is hard yakka when you don’t have experience & x2 key players sold but not replaced

Are we suffering a culture crisis
I keep frigging getting the weekly survey but upon submission it must being going to the infamous “ do not read email box”
As my points grade I submit & comment to add are always same

Why bother sending a survey out who reads it & why

Up to Parish and the Board to take some action that shows they have some control. Until then people including me will assume they haven’t. There isn’t one thing happening atm that gives me any confidence.

Exactly!! Clubs that are our size don’t stay in the Prem indefinitely. It’s very hard to get recruitment right year after year especially when the big clubs keep raiding us.

The salaries these people are paid to get recruitment right should be motivation enough. If not, they ain`t doing their bloody job, and they should be sacked. Matt Hobbs, for one.

There are 20 clubs trying to get it right every season and each time three don’t get it as right as the other seventeen. I don’t know if Hobbs is totally to blame or not (we would have portfolios on some of the players we’ve signed going back to before his time) but maybe unless we get the right manager in then, just like Stoke, Blackburn, Charlton etc our time in the Pem has run out.

It might cost Parish and his mates a few bob then.
 
No need to wet your knickers, read the papers on any day and you'll find half baked speculative stories. I hope the decision-makers at cpfc are focused on getting the next manager in rather than feeling the need to tell the media something. That'll take care of itself when we have some news to share

Don't be so sensible - you'll upset people, 😀

I agree but the club found itself in a sticky situation this summer.

The squad was painfully thin and we knew we would be in Europe.

Eze/Guehi leaving. Lacriox leaving. We needed a rebuild. Not signing anyone was not an option.

But how do you rebuild when there does not seem to be the same number of gems tearing it up in the Championship as when we signed Eze/Olise/Wharton or abroad as when we signed Munoz/Sarr?

We signed players with potential or resale value. That potential is not yet being realized. Resale value is contingent on that potential being realized at the team level i.e. going down would be a financial disaster. Established premier league players, especially forwards (JSL and Brennan Johnson) are insanely priced.

The answer has to be a better scouting network (Bournemouth, Brighton, Brentford) and a more established brand (Villa, Newcastle, Forest), plus some players stepping up from the academy.

Everything seems a little stale and predictable. We are stinking out the league in a way I last felt before Allardyce turned things around. Problem is the Allardyces/Pulises/Hodgsons of 5-10 years ago now all seem to have run their race as top flight managers.

This is one reason I floated the idea of Rafa Benitez: I think that sort of manager could get more out of the current players. As others have said we are not adrift... yet.
 
It's the silence that does my head in. Why can't Parish just come out and make a statement? Even if it's just a "we're still weighing up our options" kind of thing. He must know the fans are getting frustrated. All this is so Palace.
 
This is not a good look. It's now Thursday and we all kind of know Sage is dead in the water. Being kind I can only assume we want to announce his departure and the appointment of a new manager at the same time, but something tells me it's more to do with Sage and his teams terms of departure.
What are the players doing at the moment - ie those not on International duty. Has anyone pointed out to Adam Wharton that at the moment his defending is woeful. Run the videos to him and given him some encouragement. I'm not picking on him it's just an example. I doubt Sage has been anywhere near the training ground since Sunday, Monday I assume being a day off.
We're completely in limbo with the Coventry game looming.

Because that achieves nothing apart from a) angering everyone who assumes Sage is gone and b) putting off his potential successor ‘what do you mean you’re weighing up your options, I thought you wanted me?’.

It wouldn’t placate anyone.
 
I think it is madness that we always do everything at a lazy pace. Granted, none of us know what is going on in the background but my assumption now is that the players are probably not at the training ground or it's a skeleton crew. So Parish and the go slows are taking there time to haggle etc over Sage going out and XXXXXX coming in.

Frustrating but it's to be expected I suppose with Palace. You would think that even with the players not at training the new manager would want to get his feet under the desk so to speak and see the infrastructure of what he has walked into... actually that might be why its slow, if they give the new manager too much time, he will see the state of the place and how things run.

Don’t it get on your tits, let a few goals in and lose a few games and suddenly parish is the devil incarnate and the whole club has gone to s***. Beat cov and hull and it’ll be “I love my club, I’ve got my palace back” 🤮
