What the hell is happening at our club ?

You havent got a question. Old man behind a keyboard, no one else must have an opinion.

I asked the question why we should care that Manure have done their manager change and we haven't yet and you haven't answered it. I'm very happy for others to have their opinions and express them but I do like to try and understand why people feel like they do about a subject. However, I'm quite happy to 'bore off' as you call it of you don't want to answer.

I think one of the big reasons for our success and stability in the top flight (those two terms being one and the same thing, mostly) has been the absence of drama and media fuss. That is partly because making trouble for Palace just isn't as financially rewarding as stirring the pot with the bigger clubs, and partly because everyone at Palace, from the board, to the staff, to players, manager and even, yes, the supporters, tend to keep things in-house and retain a sense of perspective. That is always the best approach when the spotlight finds its way onto us. Say little, give little away, it will move on soon enough.

Never more true than when a few things haven't worked out as well as hoped for, like now.

That doesn't mean none of us can have opinions or express our views, but it is why I draw the line at things like a pre-game 'protest', the sillier HF banners, or those blokes holding up some daft sign outside the training ground a couple of years ago. It rarely helps, and it mostly just self-important attention seeking dressed up as righteousness.

A good example being when Glasner started throwing his toys out of the pram publicly.

Felt like the club did a good job mostly not taking the bait in public and just kept things going and got us through to the end of the season.

And to a trophy, and on thereby into the Europa League this year.

I fully expected Glasner to be sacked, and felt that was his aim (it seemed like deliberate gross misconduct to me) but Parish put aside the media attention, any clamour for 'action' and, I should imagine, even his own pride and frustration to do what he felt was best for Palace.
 
IF Sage is really speaking with Lens, let's not forget that he hasn't been sacked by Palace and is therefore still under contract to us.

So it's not surprising there's some negotiating to be done.
 
I’ve no idea if Ed Aarons is in the know or not, but if it’s true that discussions are taking place for Sage to go back to Lens , presumably saving some of the £4 million we owe them for taking him in the first place plus some of the millions he is owed if we sack him, then good on Parish for doing what he can to rectify a bad situation. It’s his job to manage the business effectively. I believe he did something similar over the Johnson transfer too.
We will have a new manager by the weekend then hopefully Parish can get on with the job of persuading Dougie to come back and giving Hobbs his P45!

If P45 now means boot up the arse and the keys to the street.

Just in my humble opinion, I don't think Sage should have been hired in the first place, or Hobbs.

A tad easy to say now with hindsight🙂 We should always try and trust SP and the other owners as SP has been a diehard Palace fan for approx 45 years as well. And because we all know that football management and club management is a highly complex expensive business with loads of variables. And because unfortunately although the club has grown in stature we are not the Real Madrid or Barcelona's of this world so we cant simply do as we want and get who we want and when we want it.
