We are a challenge for any coach unless they are over 60 or on the lower rungs of the ladder.

The first question from the coach at the interview to Parish is :

“ so , Holloway,Pulis left due to lack of investment.Jan 23 window was a s*** of an investment- what’s your thoughts for 23/24 Steve & remember I’m here cos you need me not I need you “ ?

second question :

“ come Jan 24 & we are hovering at 13/14 th spot will you do what you have done past 5 seasons , or will you avoid this & go for top 10 seriously “ ?

Holloway left because he admitted he was out of his depth. Pulis left because he thought he could wangle a way of getting a 2m bonus and walking away-nothing to do with lack of investment in either case.
The 'you need me more than I need you comment' is just idiotic. Apart from the very top European managers (Pochetino, Conte, Pep, Klopp, Mourinho, Anchellotti, etc, etc) of which NOBODY outside the top 6 have a chance of getting, every other out of work manager in UK or Europe would have interest in the Palace job. Best division in the World? Best City in the World? Some quality players? A thriving academy on an upwards curve?
Why would Parish need to sell the job to anyone? If I were Parish and a manager came to an interview with that attitude I would politely say thanks for coming, this isn't going to work. There can only be one boss in an organisation. You dont bow and scrape to a potential employee

Don't always agree with everything that SP does but the notion that he isn't knowledgeable or good at his job is laughable.

Aside from the fact that he has led us to comfortably the most successful period in our history and built us a world class academy and training facility, all while stabilising the club financially, he has also pretty become a leader among the non big 6 clubs when it comes to issues like the European Super League and revenue distribution.

Would suggest that if other chairmen respect him enough to lead on these issues, perhaps he knows a little more than you are giving him credit for.

It's the same stuff every season, we've found our niche which is around 12th to 14th. Parish must be happy with it, its been our lot for 10 seasons with the occasional relegation scare thrown in to add a bit of excitement. Pushing on for somewhere around 8th with this team, this manager, this stadium, this chairman, this level of investment is highly unlikely. So this is it basically.

Correct Holloway left because the club was amateur having him do multi jobs which was too much for him at this level.

Pullis you are wrong he would have stayed but the club didn't want to advance.

The same case with Big Sam (he had to beg the owners for extra funds in Jan)

More nonsense Palace do not have lots of people lining up for the job at all and have you forgotten many managers which turned them down Lampard was one of them.

SO you think because its best league and city managers would be begging to come laughable the club is run like semi pro setup and not even financial setup well.

Yes SP the man who has so much knowledge and experience who is world class at the role NOT
