Dazza stay cool…people do like your posts and believe that you only pass on what you are told, whether it comes about or not is not your fault…keep doing it mate…now give us some transfer news next week

I too think that some communication would have helped. Parish seems to have become much more distant from the fans in recent years. Know he can’t give details but a few positive messages would have been useful.
Seems like now the fans are treated poorly. Constant reminders about season tickets and bloody training kits, when surely they know the fans want a new manager and a few players in.
I wouldn’t be surprised if his luck runs out this year, but either way I think the fans are now taken for granted.

I believe that Dazza is correct in saying that Vieira is our new manager and that he will have a back-up team of at least 3. I, too, have heard the same from what till now I have found to be a reasonably reliable source. I have also heard the same info concerning OOC players. I believe the announcement is imminent (the next couple of days).

What about the fact that at the start of this thread he said it was Frank Lampard…..and prior to that it was Eddie Howe? And since Lampard it has also been a done deal on both NES and Favre???

The bloke’s a joke and his misinformation is extremely irritating and unhelpful.

To be honest the fact that you’re seeking information from a fans’ board isn’t really his problem is it ?

I’m not seeking anything. I’m pointing out, like numerous others have, the never ending stream of definitive statements that have been absolutely and emphatically wrong.

It was the same in the previous two transfer windows with the new signings that were ‘definitely done’ and set to be announced imminently but were in actual fact completel fantasy; Saïd Benrahma being just one example.

Thank you,

Not sure why some people on here get so abusive & feel the need to rant just don’t read the messages.

Believe it or not it’s a fan’s forum to discuss things not give people abuse.

There is enough crap going on in society without people bringing it on this site.

The Irony!

This is a fans forum, everybody has their opinions, everybody has the right to say what they think and if they wish pass on information as in Dazza’s case he posts info, be it right or wrong he is just passing on what he hears he doesn’t have to be crucified because of information that was correct at the time, situations change. People like Dazza in my opinion make forums like this. We are all on here as fans, managers and owners. Keep supplying what you hear Dazza, I enjoy and look forward to your posts.

So you have no idea who has accepted the " offers ".

This means the club's stance that no player's would be offered new contracts until a new manager in place was designed to mislead.

Do you know what you can keep giving me abuse I don’t care.

I know for a fact that Vieira is our New Manager 3 year deal.

I also know that the following players have been offered new deals:

Townsend - 2 year deal
Cahill - 1 year deal
Ward - not sure of length of deal
Henderson - potentially being offered new 1 year deal
Schlupp, Benteke & Guieta - Already renewed

Ones being released are as follows:

McCarthy
Sakho
Wickham
Hennessy
Dann
Clyne
PVA

I don’t care if you believe it or not I know this is the case.

In regards to other stuff I don’t control what happens I just pass on what I know.

For the record also I am not a loner, I have plenty of friends, run my business & also run a Children’s Football Club.

I am not doing this for attention or to antagonise people I am a die hard Palace fan & just want to pass on what I get told.

I apologise if it’s wrong information but at the time of sharing that is what I am told is happening.

The above you will see.

Announcement Sunday regards Vieira.

I get your point but this is not a sense of entitlement. Football, as you know, is so entwined within the community that it’s not like a delayed takeover of the local grocers. We invest time, money, sweat and tears on our team and, in return, all we ask for is 100%, win, lose or draw. That applies to the running of the club also. I do understand that the fans are not as important in the EPL, with sponsorship and TV deals etc, but if they f*** this up - as I suspect they will - then we will be a lot more important in the lower divisions.
I don’t harbour any expectations to hear company secrets, I don’t expect to receive their hit list nor hear about negotiations but I do believe that the club should attempt to calm us all down a bit with a comment to the effect that all is under control, player contracts are being dealt with, scouting continues etc. That we don’t get any of this makes it feel as though we are being taken for granted.
I don’t consider this to be an unfair view - just a ‘don’t worry’ statement from the club. I maintain that I believe it disrespectful to the fans that the Club are seemingly unwilling to calm the herd.
In my opinion I’d swing this around and suggest that it is the club that has a sense of entitlement to our unwavering support, regardless, and I don’t understand that.

You seem to expect a weekly update of the going ons at the club. This isnt issued by any other club, why should Palace.
It has been the close season, when players have been on their holidays, any issues would of been dealt with by Freeman.
Regarding the manager situation, they dont want to announce officially who they are going after, as there are enough rumours in the media already, why add fuel to the fire.
A new manager will be announced, when everything is signed and sealed, not before. The fact that the board have a huge financial investment in the club, gives a reassurance that they are doing their best to secure their investment by getting the best person for the job. Having disgruntled fans whos appartant self entitlement for all the detils, isnt top of their agenda.

I have been a fan for over 50 years who happens to be one of those who questions what’s going on.
Does that make me less of a fan or one those who feel ‘entitled.’
I don’t believe so.
I just happen to feel uncomfortable with the current situation which to me seems to have been avoidable.
As many others have pointed out , it’s been known for some time that Roy was going and that we had around ten players out of contract at the end of June.
There does not appear to have been any succession plan in place .
Townsend said on the radio around a month ago that the players had been advised of plans to make a managerial appointment in around 2 weeks and that those out of contract would be advised of plans once the new manager was appointed who could determine which players he wanted to retain.
An appointment was not made and a few days later Benteke was offered and signed a new contract without any input from a new manager.
Inconsistency.
What happens if the new manager doesn’t rate Benteke?

What is being asked if for a third choice management and coaching team to assemble a Premier competitive team from the remnants of last season’s ageing squad together with presumably 3 or 4 new signings together with perhaps a couple of loans.
A bunch of strangers in the main unfamiliar with each other’s working methods required to be ready in a matter of weeks.
I don’t see how how anybody can see this as some sort of master plan with a coherent strategy.

In the 11 years of CPFC2010 there has only been one master plan with a coherent strategy that has worked and that is the way that Parish acquired the club as per the final chapter in Simon Jordan's book

The second master plan that is partway to fruition is the upgrading of the academy to the top status in order to attract and develop the best talent from the local area. Time will tell if this has worked.

Most of the other successes seem to be the result of luck in what I have called serendipity management.

I was roundly derided years ago when I wondered out loud if we would have been promoted if it wasn't for the happy accident of having a young lad called Wilfried Zaha in our youth ranks.

On occasions when we have had to dispense with managers due to the risk of relegation Parish has been fortunate to have anti relegation specialists like Pulis, Allardyce and Hodgson available to hire.

Some of the transfer windows have been dreadful leaving us with huge gaps in our squad but by the biggest stroke of luck we have managed to survive.

As you can see I am a sceptic when words and phrases like "master plans" and "strategy" are bandied about.

If our next manager is to be Vieira and he is successful will it be down to a cleverly thought out strategy or just more of Parish's luck?

I just happen to think on this occasion he may be right. After all, a stopped clock is right twice a day.
