Explain then why we haven't got state of the art training facilities, a flourishing youth academy, no proper scouting network here or abroad, and why the interior of the AW is so goddamn awful. It's not just about a shiny new stand. Funny enough I overheard this argument the other night but refrained from "Butting in" on the conversation. One of the chaps advanced the argument that whilst we receive a lot of money from the PL etc, we have to spend large amounts on players and wages just to stay in it which doesn't leave too much spare to spend on other matters.He then went on about a lower league club, Fleetwood, who have invested in good training facilities etc etc.

All will be revealed in the club's next set of annual accounts although unfortunately they won't be published for quite a few months yet

I remember one of those being right before the Cup Semi in 1990. THe morning after that meeting I put 20 quid down on Palace to beat the scousers (final result) and Super Al to score the winner. Nice little payday that. Thanks to all the Palace/Pardew doubters that night. As for our present ownership, I also remember a rather vocal group wanting Noades out. That worked very well didn't it! I don't think Mr. Parish and company are beyond criticism but I look at their overall record, both the original consortium and the present ownership structure, and see a lot more positive than negative. I do wish this manager appointment saga would end soon and that we heard a little more about the progress of the search than we have had. Unfortunately, what we do get is a lot of media speculation and nothing more.

That really is the most exhausted of tired old clichés. Seven years and it would appear that very little has been learned. It isn't necessary to drag every decision out to the nth degree. Top management is about being able to see the wood for the trees, to make a decision and then go for it and make it happen. We may well have had "the best short-list ever", but I suspect that we've spent so long navel gazing over it that we're going to end up exactly where we started, with Dyche who, with the best will in the world, is hardly an inspiring choice. Everyone makes mistakes and I bet he has made his fair share, especially in the earlier days of his chairmanship. And look - he's gonna make more because he's human. But I personally feel that he has the club's interests and so his mistakes are forgivable. I just don't get your perspective as there are few guarantees in this world. Do you make perfect decisions with 20/20 foresight? Do you anyone who does? I hired someone last May loads of experience very smart but it did t work out and he didn't last a year. All hires are a gamble. You think Man City thought they'd scrape third place with Pep in charge? Like you I'm tired of clicking on Twitter and the like for news on our new manager but I'm also looking forward to our fifth season in the top flight. What are you looking forward to?

Work is being done on a new training ground. I drive pass the Beckenham ground every morning and can confirm I've seen diggers up the lane. Building work elsewhere on the road but what I saw a couple days ago was def within the training grounds. Also I think it's disgusting we have this thread going still

As for backing FDB in the transfer market, who's to say he won't be, we still have another 30 days of the transfer window to go.

Have you ever seen a bad performance from SP - either on TV or on HOL radio? We are so lucky to have him as our owner What a top Chairman Im 100% behind him as a local, supporter, owner - other clubs' fans must be so jealous Get behind him and stop talking bollox. Huddersfield have an owner who has been a diehard supporter for many years.Difference being he wasn't involved in saving the club - he came on board in 2009, Huddersfield were saved from liquidation in 2003.Hoyle has revitalised crowds by slashing season ticket prices and appointing Wagner has been an inspired move.

Go to the back of the class. Dear oh dear. You've decided we wasted £25 mil on 2 players who've only been available for 3 months. Okay. 2 players who contributed to keeping us up and have addressed the left hand side and can play in any formation? Okay again. 2 players who had to be signed. I suppose you've forgotten 1 or the other was injured so what would we have done with just one? Oh and what happened when Souare got injured and that arrogant fool thought he'd wing it? And don't use the car crash excuse. Could've been a football injury keeping him out for months to a year. And while we're here, Parish played a blinding error with Pardew over about 7 months contributing in needing Schlupp and PVA. Parish is the best chairman we could've dreamed of but don't try and point the finger at Sam for correcting the monumental mess and c0ck up that preceded him. It was nothing to do with 'appeasing Big Fat Cash Sam' or any other puerile abbreviated nickname and everything to do with surviving after making it unnecessarily difficult. Oh and if you hadn't noticed we're loaning in players rather than buying them. Players who will again cost serious money if we need them or comparable quality long term. So before jumping the gun thinking Sam is a profligate Harry Redknapp type and Frank a prudent miracle worker, I'd remember some of these are costing us loan fees with managers taking a chance on Frank's coaching and player development skills. They are still not our's. And I suppose £20 mil for Calum Chambers is cheap but about £12 mil for Schlupp or PVA we were conned.

But in your true spirit of negativity, Im still not sure what you are implying Come on Willo, let have a new outlook of positive support this season?
