I think Jimenez has got it right. The directors don't want to spend a fortune on bodging up the stadium - they want a rebuild as at Anfield. As Steve Parish indicated in his post-Burnley interview, there's a lot of talks going on behind the scenes with architects, planning consultants, Croydon council and Sainsburys etc, But major projects always take ages even before they start. If anyone knows how to unlock the logjam and speed up the process, contact the club. In the meantime, I wish fans would stop bashing Steve P at every opportunity. At the start of the season, most of us were optimistic about the strength of the squad and the potential of the managerial appointment. Things haven't worked out (yet) but we should support Steve and his boardroom colleagues - not continually carp and winge. COYP! Edited by merganser (01 Oct 2017 4.47pm)

He doesn't go on any radio programme to be grilled as you put it, he gave pretty detailed answers on HOL radio. Your obsessed with wanting to blame someone, look at the bigger picture there are many people involved.

We have no right to keep asking SP "what is going on". He and others own the club, that doesn't stop genuine supporters expressing their views. I don't want explanations I want some real action towards putting this disaster right. So many errors, we now have a manager who is 70!!!! But we are looking to the future okay....

Edited by merganser (01 Oct 2017 4.47pm) I totally get the issues that the club has had in terms of the stadium. I'm a little surprised that 2 extremely wealthy Americans have either bought into an unworkable situation or have not been able to remove the roadblocks that are preventing either an enhancement to Selhurst Park or a move to another site. I have to say that I don't care so much about the stadium environment - my primary reason for going to Palace is to watch a game of football and hopefully see a home win ( remember those ? ). In the meantime Steve Parish has overseen a farce in terms of running the playing side of the club in it's 5th consecutive season in the Premier League. For him, the love affair of running the club he loves is over, and I do feel sympathy for him to an extent. I think he's lost the trust and support of many that were still behind him not that long ago. But it's a tough, results driven world. My beloved club has become a laughing stock and looks doomed to relegation in the first week of October. Mr. Parish, this has happened on your watch. Accept the responsibility.

The Board will have the opportunity with Woy's appointment and the winter window to fix a lot of what is wrong and they should get the chance to do that. It used to be the case that he who was bottom on Christmas Day got relegated but that rule has been broken by teams that have sorted themselves out in time. If they get us relegated, criticise them for getting us relegated. But they haven't got us relegated yet. In the meantime get behind the team because the more points we are adrift before we can turn it round the harder it will be. ============ The Ferret ============

Originally posted by Painter The last club to have a real fan as an owner was Blackburn and they went onto win the Premier thanks to his money. That wont happen again, due to the huge amounts of money involved 20 years on. Once Jack Walker died and was sold they have plummeted to League 1. Using Man Utd, City and Chelsea are stupid comparisons we are never going to be able to compete with them. There are plenty of ex Premier clubs that were mismanaged spending like no tomorrow, many have never recovered years on. Not sure 22 years is quite a plummet

I agree we don't want to hound Parish out of the club and replace him with some faceless hedge fund manager. But to call FDB "a Dutch chancer" is OTT. He just applied for the job and got the job. The decision to give him the job in the first place was poor as we don't have the players to play the way he wanted and we don't have the money to bring such players in quickly. That poor decision has left us in a very very bad place at the moment. But at least we are not in administration and heading out of the league and that is where Parish came in. So our current very very bad position is still better than where he found us. I just wish he'd be able to keep hold of good managers and stop leaving key signing to the transfer deadline, so we could have a bit of stability season preparation wise.

Even if you don't know football, the laws of probability tell you operating on the last day all of the time, after 3 league games, will at some point cost you. The one season we didn't was our best 1st half of a season. That's no coincidence. Most of the rest I agree with. Your vision is clear, although instead I'd say Frank was a bit irresponsible. Ploughing ahead with that unlikely formation makes him irresponsible. If we don't fit his dream after taking the job, tough sh1t.
