Its been a tough day for everyone, and it was a day of reckoning from the moment the team sheet went up, notwithstanding the incredibly poor decision to put on Olise when the game was already lost!

I have a lot of respect for Roy, notwithstanding his record isn't really that stellar, but he is the boy from Croydon who has had a decent career, a gentleman and a bit of a scholar. I understand that he doesn't want to quit, even though most would say he has gone way beyond his "best before date".

Now is the time for SP to show leadership and make a tough decision - which takes courage and balls. I ran a large multinational public company and if I could have my time back again, I would have moved faster than I did on people who were either poor performers, or destroying value, because they were in the wrong position. I hated firing people, but 99% of the time, those I let go, with dignity and respect, were grateful for a) me being honest with them and b) releasing them from the stress of knowing they were underperforming and eventually having to leave.

Treat Roy with respect, admit it isn't working, take ownership and responsibility and treat everyone, including the fans, with honesty, integrity, authenticity and humility.

Alternatively, we can dig our heels in and hope for the best and maybe take a gamble that our competitors will not rise above us. I know which road I would take if I were the board.

I don't disagree, but Roy does not set up to play with optimal strength and uses suboptimal players out of position with tactics from decades ago. I can't believe Parish does not have a successor strategy - that would be incompetence of the highest order knowing what we know and have seen the past few weeks!

I respectfully disagree SW.

There are many factors in football beyond that on paper. In any instance, I would suggest this team is, 'on paper', a lot more capable than the results and certainly performances we have seen this season.

Morale, fitness, coaching, tactics, formation, team selections, substitutions, set pieces, all these things contribute to a football team's performance and you could almost write separate essays on the extent to which each of these things have been shockingly very poor at Palace.

I really hate this seemingly accepted sentiment that we have a really sh!t team with only one or two decent players and the discussion stops there with the manager entirely removed as part of the equation. If others disagree they're fully entitled to however the absolute shambolic and pathetic performances we've put in, for me, extends well beyond 'the players are sh!t'. It all stems from the manager as far as I can see. I'm sure many could do far worse, but equally, there has to be a number who could do a lot better.

It's the root of the issue, the most easily and perhaps only thing that can be changed in such dire times.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

1. Sack Hodgson. Do this today without fail. He is tearing the club apart. Talking absolute rubbish. Virtually demented. Get him out.
2. Accept that Henderson was a terrible buy. I am very concerned what happened there. There has to be something very dark. He is absolutely hopeless. Immediately reinstate Johnston for the Chelsea game and watch the reaction from the fans.
3. Stop berating the fans. We are virtually all singing off the same hymn sheet and bar none we all have Palace in our hearts unlike the board.
4. Put the club up for sale. Ive said from the beginning our USA shareholders have zero knowledge and zero interest in Palace, just money.
5. Parish will go when the club is sold. Please advise when he last selected a good manager. His track record of bringing in decent managers is so bad. He has shown he has also lost all sense of direction and ability as chief executive to execute. He has gone soft and for his own sake needs to sell and retire from running Palace. Throw the mad cap main stand scheme in the bin.
6. This all needs publicly putting in place today with the priority being ROY OUT.

The first thing Parish should do / should already have done, is talk to his medical staff about the advice given to Hodgson regarding Olise's recuperation. If Hodgson is found to have ignored the advice given, then naturally an explanation should be asked for. If the explanation is unsatisfactory and it is found that Hodgson has risked further injury to Olise then Parish has to sack Hodgson without delay.
One of the club's main assets on the field can't be treated in such a manner.

Good post and why I believe we won’t see a change yet. Any potential manager seeing the fans reaction yesterday and the altercation with Andersen would be having second thoughts in my opinion.

Bring back Brolin
