Typical Palace!

Metaphorically, we gate crashed a Mayfair party with loads of cash & sniff … we’ve done all our gear, started mind sweeping - cos we’re skint - and the Russian ‘Prem’ bouncers have now got the measure of us! We’ll be leaving ‘da club’ soon … and not out of choice &#129315;

This could be the earliest that I've ever not liked a season.

I assume that Dougie is now going to have to make the call on who to renew which, given the club said they couldn't make that call, surely puts us in a weak position for persuading those with other offers to stay.

Dean Kiely and Shaun Derry currently in charge of pre-season?

I wouldn't be surprised if we are already on the phone to Marco Silva - he was apparently high up the shortlist and is someone who would actually just sign and start.

So relegation then? Got ya.

Parish is presumably in charge of the recruitment process which was triggered by Roy leaving.

Can't see anyone else to point a finger at if one is to be pointed.

Perhaps one day the true story of Roy's departure and who knew what and when will emerge.

Meantime, we are three weeks away from first pre season fixture.

I don't think you can blame Parish for this one. It's being reported he was happy with everything, even the transfer budget but it was personal reasons he pulled out, probably explains why he was still unemployed.

While it leaves us in the s***, so be it, I'd rather he change his mind now then in a couple of months, we'll get someone.

Well that's disappointing news to wake up to.
Really gutted. You always wondered...is something's too good and all that.

Bugger. We're running out of options...

I meant for Favre changing his mind.

 

Why would anyone chose to be a Seagull? The Eagle is a far superior creature.

The Seagull lives under it's damp pier meekly looking out, blinded by the sheer quality of the Eagle's palace.

I think after initial interest the enormity of the job is sinking in and they don’t fancy staking their reputation.

£50-£70mil is nowhere near enough to reshape the current squad and that’s notwithstanding our previous for behaving like fannies in the transfer market.

I don’t think the current “structure” and arising lack of autonomy helps.

Can’t believe I’m saying this and I don’t think it’ll happen but at this point I wouldn’t be averse to giving Dougie the job.

I wonder if this is FDB coming back to haunt us. Trying to play a different style of football with our current roster and shoestring budget, and you won't last long. FDB has been the cautionary tale for Favre and Nuno before signing.

Not saying Silva's my pick, but the only thing that actually guarantees relegation is a lack of players, and we've got 6 weeks to get out of that reality. In 5 days, the list of players we need to sign doubles by default.

Our situation is way more urgent than Everton's and as long as candidates flip flop between us, we're sleepwalking down regardless of who we appoint. Whilst the Everton job in on the table, we won't appoint any 'fantasy' candidates anyway.

Unfortunately, we've blown the luxury of time. Had months, time's up. Got to move now.

Now I really don’t understand this, Ok people change their minds Fact, you cannot help that, but if Favre has changed his mind because as reported the transfer funds are not huge. Then this bloke does not live in the real world. Football world wide is taking a hammering, clubs are losing revenue left right and centre. Every club is being hit by the Covid restrictions. World finances funds are being hit wages, contracts everything about sport, industrial the bloody world is in turmoil and he does a u turn because funds are not as they use to be. Extremely disappointed yes….rant over

I suggested this was at least plausible on the BBS and I got absolutely wrecked. To the point where it was genuinely unpleasant. Horror show of a website.

Here we go again.

Steve Parish at his best once again. Will he ever learn?

New managers being announced left right and centre and we are still bumbling around like a bunch of amateurs.

How does parish manage to offer a job to a bloke who doesn’t actually want it. Favre would not have gone through the interviews unless he was up for it so clearly the terms, the deal, or the people he met here turned him off.

Now we are scrambling around with not long to go to preseason, and half the team leaving.

Absolute schoolboy for life Steve parish is, he will never, ever learn how to properly execute a managerial search.

I mentioned elsewhere that the team would self-manage until the first sacking of the season.

When I wrote that I had no idea just how close to reality it would be.

I reckon, if we change our name to "Pant Wetters United", or "Drama Rovers", we'll be much better placed to attract a manager.

Just my tuppence....

You appear to be one of the people who would say “oh you pant wetters” if selhurst burned down, the entire team with it, and all that was left was sainsburys and the under 21s.

It’s not being dramatic to point out that we should have easily hired a manager by now and we are yet again ballsing up a managerial search like a bunch of schoolboys.

Er, seems to be I am stating facts, sprites.

We have no manager.

We take way too long to hire managers then bring in the likes of FDB. We clearly haven’t learnt anything due to past failures.

First we got Nuno in for talks and he pulled out, why? If a manger sits down for talks it means he is up for it, unless we balls it up with silly demands or poor offers.

Who interviews for a job they don’t want? Something we did turned Favre off. Do you go out job hunting and go to interviews when you don’t want the job?

With so many players leaving we really need to get this sorted out.

It was announced publicly that Roy would leave the club on May 18th, 5 weeks ago.

robct91 Flag Bridgend 25 Jun 21 4.26am

What concerns me is that there is obviously something we are doing wrong in the final stages of negotiations that baffles me.
Some people have mentioned its the ageing squad, the fact we have very little transfer budget for the season with a pretty big overhaul needed.
But..for me..
To get so far in negotiations twice recently and for it to break down at the final hurdle, Im a bit more sceptical than that.
The managers surely would have been aware of the situation we are in prior too (who doesnt do due dilligence for this sort of role before application?) or at least at the very start of first contact and talks with the club if they are unfamiliar.
I cant in my mind (I may be wrong) put it down to the squad or funds if we are in the latter stages of negotiations as these would surely have been covered and agreed during.
Maybe salary? But if cooper was a prospect the 5 mill compensation to Swansea puts me off that idea.
But still there have been players that we seem too miss out in the final stages too.
Something is surely turning people away no?
I fear we will maybe not get someone in the ilk of Fuavre now after this. Or maybe at all.
Maybe we are just becoming that club where we are only attractive too someone like Cooper who want to try themselves.

Surely it has to be an issue with the board negotiation tactics/demands?
You may say we are just not an attractive choice for people atm but I say again who doesnt do due dilligence prior?
