What we don't want to do is hound him out of the club and replace him with some faceless hedge fund manager who will asset strip the club. Look at Coventry City for example! Why do people dredge up the most extreme examples to support their case. If we want to better ourselves (as Parish said we should) the example of Charlton is always dredged up and if we want to spend more than tuppence ha'penny we will go into Administration. Coventry City may well have suffered at the hands of their supposed hedge fund owners but you could have used Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea as examples of clubs that have prospered under wealthy corporate or corporate style owners. Why did Parish sell his soul to a pair of American Billionaires? Was it because they would allow him to continue to play top dog? Parish and his original partners have always said that they were reluctant buyers as no-one else was interested and they would sell to the right person. In all these years has the right person never appeared which I find hard to believe or is that any proposed buyer that has surfaced so far doesn't want Parish involved in the future?

The last club to have a real fan as an owner was Blackburn and they went onto win the Premier thanks to his money. That wont happen again, due to the huge amounts of money involved 20 years on. Once Jack Walker died and was sold they have plummeted to League 1.

Using Man Utd, City and Chelsea are stupid comparisons we are never going to be able to compete with them. No more stupid than using Coventry as an example of what happens when corporates buy a club

Parish isn't out there on the f***ing pitch is he! Why's time to call him out now!? Edited by Brentmiester_General (01 Oct 2017 10.38am) Do you have Tourette's, or are you just lacking the ability to make your point without using profanity and/or insulting people?
Jackson.. Wan Bissaka.... Sansom.. Nicholas.. Cannon.. Guehi.... Zaha... Thomas.. Byrne... Holton.. Rogers.. that should do it.. |

The lack of stadium development bugs me the most. 5th year in the prem and apart for some cladding and a lick of paint the stadium is still a substandard arena. When the Americans were onboarded the funds were to be invested in this area. Now looks likely we will get relegated and be in exactly the same position before promotion. This is also my opinion. I love Selhurst but remember the days of 40-50,000 and would love them back - in a new stadium, in the Premier League too if possible!

I think the main problem regarding the stadium is the intransigence of the council & Sainsbury's.

One would expect the wages bill to include Director's salaries too. I am equally highly unimpressed by their input! Edited by Henry of Peckham (01 Oct 2017 4.26pm)

I have huge admiration for what Parish, and CPFC2010,has done for the club as I am sure majority of our fans have. However, that doesn't entitle him to be immune to criticism. I think the feeling among a lot of fans is one of frustration that we are now in pretty well the same position as we were this time 4 years ago when we had just been promoted. SP himself publicly stated during the summer break that the club needs to get away from firefighting mode and the perennial relegation battle. That was, if you like, his mission statement,and, as such,it is not entirely unfair to take him to task on that. I don't agree with the OP that "it is time to call out Parish", but, I think, within reason , we are entitled to some explanations and reassurances as to what is going on - after all, SP was always willing to have his voice heard on the occasions when things were going well, so I don't think he can have it both ways.
He spent some 2 hours talking on HOL radio a week or so ago.

I expect that Pete53 was referring to national radio where he might have been grilled by people interested to know why we are the laughing stock of the football world and exactly where the blame lay rather than chatting with his chums on HOL radio
