True he is only human. This is a good move as Parish IMO had stretched himself too thin. I would like focused on resolved The stadium and having others picking up rest of needs we have
Has Parish ruined this season?

It does throw up some questions. We will never probably find out exactly what happened as all parties probably put their own spin on itAs usual know idea if there is any truth in it, but Sky are reporting that Parish pulled the plug on the Guehi deal at 4pm.
Doesn't explain the deal sheet..... but can that be put in by the buying club?

I hope we palace fans don't start to become self entitled now and start hounding out our best ever chairman in our history? A man who has and still puts his heart and soul into the club.
I would hate to become like the spurs and west ham fans.
Poor Daniel levy has left today. He ran spurs like a business kept them up got them the odd trophy or two and a new stadium. And all they can say is thank God he is gone.

Levy did earn £50,000,000 though which might ease his pain a bit.

Feels like the truth is coming out slowly. Parish accepted Liverpool’s late offer on condition he could sign a replacement acceptable to Ollie. Desperate attempts were made to sign various players culminating in the Brazilian weed. Parish gave up and pulled the plug after the Weed option fell through (did he prefer Spam or did Ollie’s not think he was a reasonable replacement?) The decision was taken in consultation with Ollie who at no stage threatened to resign. He then arranged to meet Marc and his family at the end of the window presumably to explain how hard he’d tried and apologise for raising their hopes, and went off to the gym. Liverpool went ahead with submitting the deal sheet hoping Palace might find a last minute replacement or have a change of heart. Seems likely Marc was made aware of things ahead of the 7 pm meeting.As usual know idea if there is any truth in it, but Sky are reporting that Parish pulled the plug on the Guehi deal at 4pm.

Outcome- Marc disappointed but knowing he will get his move eventually. Ollie relieved and feeling pleased he got the outcome he wanted (Should’ve listened to me in the first place Steve!)
Steve frustrated he didn’t get a transfer fee, rehearsing his tried and tested “I tried but it’s a difficult market” speech (this time for the Board rather than the fans).
Everyone takes a deep breath. Marc heads off to the England squad thinking “life is still pretty good”. Ollie goes home to Austria for a rest thinking “Thank f**k the window has closed. I’m looking forward to working with the new lads. They seem like a decent bunch!” Steve decides “I’m not going through that again! Time to sign up a CEO and a Director of Football and I know just the people!”
And they all live happily ever after….. at least until January.
Can we close this thread now please?
Couldn't agree more.
I'm potentially too trusting, and I know that Steve isn't perfect. But I work from the starting point that:
- He's a successful guy, built a decent business, knows how the world works, and knows how to build decent relationships
- He loves the club dearly, and will always have its best interests at heart
- He's not going to purposely, p1ss off the manager, drastically overpay etc etc
- The press lie, and nothing seams to sell better than panic, unrest and general pandemonium
Just think its a shame that so many so called fans have so little faith for the guy who saved the club, and derived us the FA cup.

Largely agree, but as I’ve said before, and I promise for the last time (!) but the bit that I struggle with is the Igor loan etc
I also said there were lessons to be learned and I know Steve Parish is no fool. The recently announced appointments suggest that he’s realised that he can’t do it all !
I always thought all parties have to sign deal sheet and must be lodged in the two hours before deadline time?As usual know idea if there is any truth in it, but Sky are reporting that Parish pulled the plug on the Guehi deal at 4pm.

Does anyone care anymore, history, look forward to a top 6 finish. and Guehi begging to sign a new Palace contract 🤣 😉
That Igor was a Guehi replacement?
My understanding is that Igor wasn't the Guehi replacement. He cited that he chose West Ham because of reassurances of playing time. (which would have been an issue if he was Guehi's replacement).
The Guehi replacement instead was Pavlovic, and the Igo loan was to just provide some cover and help any Pavlovic settling.

Yes, I referred to all that in an earlier post but there didn’t look to be much if any chance of getting the Pavlovic deal over the line - anyway history now as Lanza said

Fake, online Liverpool fans from India and Africa care. We're their new enemy; they've never heard of Everton anyway.

So your suggestion is - get rid of our most successful Manager ever, as opposed to a Chairman that has just presided over a shambles of a transfer window..!!
Look I get the Parish saved us thing, and we will be forever grateful, but no one can deny this transfer window has been appalling - no strategy and no plan..!!
Added to which I truly believe that SP’s financial position - meaning that he cannot contribute funds commensurate to his shareholding - unlike the other shareholders is causing an issue..!!
So on that basis we are operating on what SP can afford - rather than leveraging the combined wealth of the other 3 Billionaire owners..!!
Before anyone says it - and I’ve said it before - I get having wealthy owners doesn’t automatically equal funds to spend - but other teams seem able to dot it with imaginative accounting - look at Everton just built a new stadium costing £800M and spent £111M in the window..!!
So why can other clubs do it and we can’t - something just ain’t right..!!

I genuinely dont know how you think that. Granted a bit messy at the end. But it is now looking like 99% of that was the media making up sh1t
Replaced Turner loan with an international
International left back
Up and coming centre back
Lost 1 starter. Replaced with 2 LA Liga starters.
Feels like our squad is 3 players better off than it was in May...

If comes to an irreparable rift between Chairman and manager then yes.
Glasner's likely going in June no matter how much support he got or gets - like the young talented players we buy he's using us as stepping stone to bigger things.
This window hasn't ended up being a shambles as has already been pointed out by Robbo (and others elsewhere in threads.
As for other clubs, they're desperate and are willing to mortgage themselves to the hilt for success, Villa being the prime example. As for Everton, they've recently been taken over and the new owners have taken a punt on trying to get the club into a position where they can challenge for Europe. You don't spend the kind of money that they did when buying a club and not to do that.
Forest, as we know, have a corrupt owner. It will be interesting to see what happens when the new football overseer gets up and running and introduces stricter rules for ownership both in respect of new owners and existing ones. I don't see Mary Knickers surviving for too long in the new environment.
Parish falls into the same category as Levy - a chairman who cares deeply for the football club and wants to ensure they can both survive and compete at the highest level, but grounded in a solid financial base. Spurs fans have basically ousted Levy but will likely regret it down the line when the new people overextend themselves.
Let's face it when we came out of administration in 2010, I doubt any of us expected us to be where we are today. We've done it slowly and are getting stronger little by little. We can now realistically talk about challenging for a European spot.
Yes, Glasner has been a catalyst and I'm wanting him to stay beyond the season's end so as to continue the upward trajectory but he needs to recognize where we're at and our financial limitations.
If a fourth billionaire were to replace Parish, are the other three suddenly going to lend the club oodles of money? I doubt it very much.
Personally, I prefer to stick with the devil we know because in the main, parish has got more things right than wrong.
But it's all about opinions and clearly you and I have different ones

Media not making it up - we now have a very unhappy Manager and Captain.!!
How else do you explain Glasner coming out so publicly and at odds to/with SP..??
SP tried to replace our Captain and an England international - with Brighton’s 6th choice centre back - how is that even conceivable..!!
Business done too late again - leaving us with a threadbare squad - meaning players having to play too much has left us with Sarr out for 8 weeks and Wharton for a month..!!
Yeah great planning..!!
