Big Sam retired. Nothing more nothing less. Sure he didn't retire his whole career because he was so disgruntled about a lack of funds at Palace. Also, it wasn't a lack of funds that caused the riff between TP and SP. It was the lack of funds for over the hill players.

That's probably the official line according to Sam's compromise agreement that allowed Sam to walk from his contract no one will know for sure because compromise agreements are confidential, it will also bar Sam for working for anyone else for a set period of time, otherwise he may well have to pay Palace compensation for the contract he signed and did not honour!

Why have you any reason to doubt events, apart from some conspiracy theory of yours.

The longest managerial search was the month before appointing pulis. Millen was in charge for a month.

Given that Sakho was going to cost £30m plus 1 would give a transfer kitty of £40m ish which would be a decent sum

That's the figure I was thinking too.

Don't think Sakho gonna come now. Probably best to buy 4 - 10m players

When did he say that, I don't recall?

Also, what Parish says to the press is often smoke and mirrors. He's more canny than most give him credit for.


It was in the interview with the US radio station, which was well documented on here; sorry you missed it. I personally wouldn't accuse Parish of being deceitful, but it's your prerogative to do so if you wish.

Well if can't promise transfer budgets to any incoming Manager to strengthen the team, what incentive do they have to come and damage their image, we need at least four or five quality players, otherwise we are as we were, which was not very good to say the least, not my wish but these are the facts, we have no manager, no pre-season planning, no activity in the transfer market (that would be madness without a manager), so please give me hope?

Its not my job to give you hope Den. If you want to believe the spin and can't see that Zaha wouldn't have signed a new Contract without some indication of our ambition next year, then you are beyond any help that I could give you.

I suspect that's the sort of thing that Parish had in mind. If a new manager wanted to go for the Sakho plus one deal I'm sure SP would try to make it happen, provided he was as convinced by the new man's reasoning as he was Sam's.

This. I also remember listening to Parish on Radio 5 Live when he said that we made a mistake last year by not spending enough money and that he was going to learn from it. Then I heard him say pretty much the opposite a few weeks later. I have no idea what is going on, but the one thing that I know is that whatever Parish says to the press there is an angle.

Parish isn't deceitful. He is being canny. There is a difference.

Except that Allardyce made a statement in which he made his reasons clear; if you think there's anything else to it then you are calling him a liar, and if you are calling him a liar then you need evidence.

Whilst we may not break our transfer record this season. Parish is hardly gonna come out and say it's the biggest budget. I think parish would consider himself a negotiator and while waiting for Benteke last season was frustrating. Seeing 2 games pass without him signing. It's like a game of chess. Early in the window Liverpool can demand higher fee. The closer the window closes, then they may accept a little lower. If Sakho does sign for us it would be until late August.

It is well known that Allardyce had a six month break clause in his contract which he exercised . Along with the compensation clause that any future employer will be liable for a reputed sum of £2m if they choose employ him within 2 years of his leaving Palace.
That is nothing to do with honour it was in his contract and was utilised by SA citing retirment / family reasons.
Sam will pay nothing as he is not responsible for the payment and he is free to work for anyone who cares to employee him!

You missed out Burley and when Holloway took over he said that "this team is so good that it manages itself" so perhaps promotion was achieved on autopilot and Holloways could be counted as a negative appointment


Forgot about Burley, he was totally useless.

Holloway said lots of things that were complete bollocks but ultimately he won us the playoffs and was gracious enough to stand down when it became apparent that he was well out of his depth, I don't think that can be argued as a negative appointment.

Stop being a wally, then I'll engage you in intelligent conversation. Until then I'll call you out for being the wally that you are.

"Smoke and mirrors" is an idiom for a deceptive, fraudulent or insubstantial explanation or description.

And still the man is so insubstantial that he can't post without the insults.
