Parish Out

[ASCPFC]

So who on our bench today would another prem club be interested in ?

West Ham might buy them.

Its the recruiting, retaining and selling of Players that seems to have bitten us in the ass.

Guehi gone away for small money.

Canvot & Pino & Sosa ....not good enough.

Too many talented players injured or otherwise unavailable.

This is not a Glasner problem. Its elsewhere.

Both Canvot and Pino have time to work out. I wouldn't write them off. Neither are old. Sosa doesn't seem to have the pace or awareness required.

A good chunk of this is on you, Mr Bare Minimum

The club is currently rudderless and heading in the wrong direction.

After the success of last season this was the year to take the club to new heights but we've been badly led down by the hierarchy.

I'm not suggesting "Parish out" but we need some communication from him. What is the direction of travel and expectations for the future? It seems like it's just going to be mediocrity when we all had such high hopes. Very disappointing.

Who would want to sign for us now knowing the manager will change and who would want to manage us knowing that the owners are unambitious, obsessed with a new stand and so not fulfill any promises about going to the next level.

We had an opportunity but the board lack the b*lls to take it

Why are people so scared to state the blindingly obvious - Parish and his lack of strategy is costing us big time..!! He's got to go for us to move forward..!!

We simply don't have the resources to go to the next level and even if our American billionaires wanted to give them to us, the PL regulations wouldn't allow them to - ask Newcastle who have the richest owners in the world. Consequently, we never had the opportunity to go to the next level.

Because it's not blindingly obvious. Just because you can't see Parish's strategy doesn't mean he hasn't got one. The current number one priority financially is to get the stand built so as to increase capacity and revenue. Unless we can increase our revenue we will simply go backwards into the Championship. The new Squad Cost Ratio regulations that start next season are more stringent than the current PSR ones which is why both Parish and Tony Bloom at Brighton voted against them. They will limit what we can pay our players etc.

Parish isn't perfect and yes he's cautious and possibly over-cautious but he's a proper Palace fan and cares about the club more than any outsider you want to replace him would. Be careful what you wish for.

A chairman 'going' isn't like a manager leaving. It involves seismic changes, including the ownership and future direction of the club. Try not to be so dramatic.

You're happy with over cautious then?

PS the alternative is not reckless.

How do you know what his strategy is? You don't know if targets went elsewhere in the summer or the club decided to hold back on laying out money.

As a fan, maybe Parish should tell us what the strategy is. Do nothing until the stand is eventually built? We have no clue.

Steve Parish, with a red and blue hard hat on, and high vis jacket glowing resplendently in the July afternoon sunshine, takes a trowel in one hand and a brick in the other, dabs some cement on the brick, and lays the first brick of the new stand.
"This brick marks a new beginning for Crystal Palace FC. A new venture in a different division. We will have 34,000 fans watching Championship football again. We are back!", announces Steve totally straight faced. A few onlookers clap politely.

We had a model but young talent and sell it on. We have sold players for huge fees and generated funds which have not been reinvested wisely. For every Olise there is a Kamada for every Eze a Sosa.

We could have done more and have gone backwards.

The direction of travel has, and always has been, to finish 17th. Anything higher is a bonus, win a trophy or 2 is a bonus. Maybe certain people knocking around the club were / are right.

All are very disappointing, of course.

I feel like the American billionaires just want to get a slice of the action (Money) They are investors? They want to see returns on rhat investment. If that is the case, id rather not have any outside investment, surely its a detrimental to Palace as a club? Where has the investment gone? If not on players is ot he stand? A new coat of paint for the main stand a couple years ago? New training ground and academy?

I genuinely wouldn't be surprised to see a Johnson take over in the summer. Whether Parish will stay on or not in that case, I have no idea. I get the feeling he will step down.

What about a crazy thought of adapting your style to the available players, i believe its called managing.

If there's danger of us going down, then they'd want to act wouldn't they? To protect their investment.

How can you compare olise with kamada? They play in different positions.

after a dodgy start kamada has more than proved he was a bargain as a free transfer. The odd mistake aside, his energy, ball winning, technical nous and his quick passes that start so many of our attacks have been badly missed.

He compliments wharton's play so well and we haven't won a game since he got injured v man city.

You would think so, wouldn't you. They have a week left to do anything positively about it. By getting new players in. Here we are nearing the end of the window with a small inadequate squad and we've seen 1 in and 2 out (if you include Esse on loan), so we are now in a weaker position than at the start of the window.

I suspect Parish and the board think we are safe and unwilling to spend as Glasner is off.

Once the window closes the only thing they can do is try to bring in a new manager early. I'm not sure that will work this time. Think it will just destabilise things further.

We didn't strengthen in the summer, when we should have.

I just hope we survive and can start afresh in the Premier League next season. If we don't then for me the fault is purely with Parish and the rest of the board.
