I do not think that anyone doubts that SP has in the past done a great job by ensuring that we have not gone under as we so easily could have done back in 2010. However, we must not keep looking back its the future that matters now and not the past which unlike the future cannot be changed. What people are concerned about is the slowness in which we move and SP hands on approach to football matters which seems to upset good quality Managers. Eddie Howe recently thanked his Chairman for not being hands on as far as the football side was concerned. That does not mean that the chairman does not get involved in setting budgets and running the business but unlike SP, once the budget is set and agreed then he lets Eddie implement it which is called releasing the potential and believing in your people. Thats all we are saying, so please do not get wound up all we want is a settled Manger and team that can hold its own in the best league in the world! Originally posted by rikz
I don't know, just maybe it's because the board didn't foresee him deciding to retire from football come the end of this season. There is no argument anyway I don't need to justify on here what parish has done for our club it's plainly obvious. We've came from having the 17th highest budget in the 2nd division to our fith season in the premier league and 15th richest club in Europe. No other club in world football has had as big a turn around. Even more impressive when you take into account the manager turn around we've had.

But where is evidence of this happening, I've never heard once of parish getting involved in the football side. Well there is one incident which was deciding to sign wilf against pulis wishes, which I would actually usually disagree with but and this is a massive but, wilf has been our player of the season the last 2 years, has received more plaudits this year than the whole west Brom team put together but the reason pulis didn't sign him, because he wouldn't be receiving a nice brown envelope. So wanted to blow our money on crouch and walters or whoever it was, which we all know would of included back handers from agents and pulis a nice little percentage of the signing fee. So yeah parish was right to do that. Makes him an even better owner actually.

Done a lot for the club, but does he need help in his role as chairman. Like a director of football. Like the job les reed does at Southampton.

It would mean one criterion off the new manager hunt each time. He has Mark Bright there all the time. May as well have a top notch doc who's modernised a club and knows Europe's top scouts and everything.

Here's one for the anti Parish numpties to consider: Fat Sam did the right thing and bailed out right at the end of the season, leaving SP et al plenty of time to find the right replacement and leaving no panic or chaos like Pulis did. So Southampton made it very clear before the end of the season that they would be "reviewing" Puel's situation at the end of the season and the man had to work with this hanging over him which I'm sure affected their results. My point is this, would we rather have had a manager with some integrity step down at the end of the season or a board that messed about and then sacked a decent manager causing chaos and panic amongst fans? Personally, I'm more than happy with CPFC2010 and the job they're doing. I think you'll find that a large proportion of Saints supporters did not like Puel's style of play, especially at home, with the dearth of goals. Also, notwithstanding the finishing position and League Cup final, there was disappointment amongst the support at the failure to make anything of their Europa League place. I don't think you'll find much "panic" amongst the Southampton faithful as they know a new manager will be appointed by next week. Southampton is a very well run football club and there can be no criticism of their ownership from us. Would that we had a tenth of their infrastructure. We've had over three weeks to make an appointment, which is more than sufficient time to have done so. We are risking the process impacting on our preparations for next season, if it hasn't already. We need to stop fannying about and make a bloody decision so that the new manager has a decent chance to get us off to a good start next season.

Here are some of the facts that THEY don't want you to know. Allardyce handed in his notice on the 50th anniversary of the day that Bert Head gave David Payne his debut for Palace. Co-incidence? I don't think so! Payne was a home grown player. Whereas Allardyce likes to wheel and deal on the transfer market. He was headed for a collision with Parish. who is a one club loyalist. And here's another thing. Say Sam Allardyce, backwards, while drinking a pint of wine (his favourite tipple). What does it sound like to you? That's right: Bilderberg Group. The shady organisation run by The Illuminati. It doesn't end there..... Oh, wait, hang on, there's someone at the door..... Er, yes? Aaaghh!!. Oof! What are you doing? Help!
