Parish Out

Parish has done a great job keeping our club solvent and in the PL for 10 years. He wants us to play a more attacking football and have a modern stadium fit for this league without putting the club at risk again like his predecessor did. He brought in wealthy owners believing their financial muscle would help but so far their input has been pretty woeful.

On the football front he was well supported by Dougie with his ability to uncover gems but since his departure for Saudi there’s been a steady decline in that area. While he deserves criticism for agreeing the transfer of Lacroix just before the season began, he has been badly let down by Hobbs who is doing to the squad what he did at Wolves.
As regards managers, Glasner was a good step forward from Roy in terms of style of play, and he delivered our first 3 major trophies , but he came with baggage and it was always going to end in tears. He left us with the Conference League title but a team near the bottom of the league. Sage was a good appointment in that he played the same formation as Glasner but with a higher press, and had shown he was capable of turning a poor side into a decent successful team. Whether he can do so here remains to be seen.

I trust Parish to make the right decisions for the club. I believe he will give Sage more time to turn things around. I hope he’s decided to show Hobbs the door before the January window opens and give Dougie a call to see if he’s had enough of the sunshine and is ready to come back as DoF with a seat on the board.
 
Always makes me laugh when fans want OWNERS of football clubs out

It’s like walking in your local pub and demanding the OWNER leaves because you drink in there 🤣

Parish has more right to stay than any of us, I’ve been going 52 years, but without the likes of Noadsey, Jordan and Parish and co, I wouldn’t have had a club to support and then people want them out when we have a poor run on the pitch. 🤪
Its very reactionary to start shouting they want Parish and the board out, but none of them have a viable plan to take over. If they have been in charge for 16 years of course they have made some mistakes, but that weighs very little against things they have got right.
What do they think would happen, if they decided enough is enough and sold up to the highest bidder, regardless of where they came from and suitability to run a football club? All of a sudden we break into the top 6 and win every week! People need to accept, we are never going to be a big club, the rules are stacked against other teams joining them. There are the odd exception Leicester ( now in League 1 ), Brighton started well, but it doesnt last, the big clubs just pinch the best players.
 
Under the leadership of Parish we have been in the Premier League for 13 years. We have won three trophies and been in two FA Cup finals. We have qualified for European football for two seasons. The club is also in a reasonable financial position.

He has overseen by far the most successful period in the history of this club. It's not even close.
 
I did think Textor had two good points
1) he put all lot of readies in to get the Academy finished when no one else did

2) he correctly spoke about ambition or lack there of when it came to Parish

It’s hard to think to think otherwise that someone is part of the problem not solution to notch it up 3 spots in the prem

Parish put faith in Hobbs with the monies paid for JSL & Johnson both turned out to be a poor return on investment

Parish is now very shy on putting that kind of money on players ever again due to being burnt

This will , likely is becoming Palace's downfall this season

Would Love to hear Parish tell us why he thinks we are in this position

It’s so easy to name Palace leaders on the pitch in seasons gone by , but 26/27 everyone on the pitch , dressing room , crowd is looking asking “ who is it “ ?

Steve - who’s the leader on the pitch where has he gone ?
Textor is a poor reference point. A man with no ethics or morals, hated by number of clubs he touched. Literally had Lyon fans walk up to us say f&#k John Textor. His version of ambition would be bankrupt the club

Hear Hear !
I have the utmost respect for Steve Parish, a gentleman of gravitas and presence.

Very wise. All these words about whether the Manager should stay or go are meaningless unless the people in whose gift it is to sack and appoint read this forum. Even if they do, whether they pay any attention to it is another matter.
