Ive supported Palace 49 years

Ive seen some fantastic players and managers come and go
But it always amazes me how Palace fans can love someone who is very average ( Freedman )
But someone who is brilliant ( Allardyce , Pulis ) they can take or leave ????

Looking through these threads so many Palace fans are ok with Allardyce going , just as they were when Pulis left

Who do you think we are good enough for Klopp , Mourinho , Pep ???

Get real , for the past few seasons we have somehow managed to perform an escape act ~ unless we get someone in who is proven , next season we may not be so lucky .

That is my fear also. We've employed and lost the two best escape artists in the business and I do think we're going to be in for a tough time unless the right man is prepared to join us, and there aren't any obvious candidates.

I also share your surprise at the ambivalence witnessed when we lose perfectly decent managers as compared to the wailing and shirt rending that happens when a very average one decides to up sticks.

Why the new thread? It's attention seeking palace fans like you that would rather "implicitly " criticise Parish that are strange. We know he has made mistakes anyone in his position would. He's learning on the job. But if any manager like Pulis wants to take our club for a ride they can feck right off. I remember proven managers like Venables having it off with our finances. We are not "fine" that SA is leaving but we have to accept it. The man says he wants to go chill with his family - unlike some managerial departures SA's statement is unequivocal.

It's you that needs to get real pal

There was no reference in the original post to Parish, albeit if I was still "learning on the job" after seven years, I might think it was time to consider whether I needed to review my position.

Allardyce has no less taken "our club for a ride" than Pulis did; it's just the timing that's different and the apparently friendly way in which Allardyce has done it, but the net result is the same. Allardyce is like that girl who writes you a long letter telling you why she doesn't want to see you anymore, but hopes you can remain friends. Pulis is the one who tells you in a one-line text. You may well feel a bit better about the former one, but the net effect is the same; you're still dumped.

Except It's two days after the end of the old season and after a constructive discussion, not two days before the start of the new one and after a fight. World of difference. One's an old guy who wants to put his feet up and the other's an arsehole who wants to rip us off and sue us for money that isn't his.

And that is about the size of it. Chalk and cheese.

Let's not forget that when Pulis left Parish made a statement saying that they parted as friends and even had dinner together to discuss terms.

Whilst neither party ever came out and said anything different but the later court case showed that things weren't as rosy as Parish had tried to pretend.

I don't for one moment think that Sam had a eureka moment and decided on the spur of the moment that he needed to retire.

You're right he didn't mention Parish but I thought it was implied. And you your point Dave, I doubt anyone who has run a new business for only 7 years would call themselves an expert. But by the most important measure he's done alright in my book.

Great analogy but not completely accurate in my view. Pulis was like that bird who is great in the sack but a bit of a wrong un - SA was more of a keeper but she's from the other side of the country and getting on a bit.

How are people making out he decided on the spur of the moment? We have no idea how long he was considering the option or how he was appraising it before he said anything to anyone else.

Frankly I don't think the issues in his statement beyond what he reveals there are anyone's business and questioning his motives in the absence of any evidence is not cricket.

You only have to read his press pronouncements over the last few days to know that this decision didn't seem to be in his mind ten days ago

Alan Brazil said this morning that he knew someone who died in the Manchester bombing hence the snap decision. The news will come out soon.

So if that is the case a few people are going to look a bit silly with all their comments.

Very good

I do think that Parish should perhaps concentrate on the finances and appoint a Director of Football; in the long run it would be money well spent.
