Like Delaney who had his contract extended because he's Steve's mate and top snitch? Didn't Kelly have his contract extended? We then sign Riedewald and Sakho to total 7 CBs and don't sign a striker. A lot of this has been self inflicted. How about Hennessey and Jules? Pick any of those.

Parish decided on those. Unless someone who's experienced tells Parish how it has to be or he's off, that's what happens. Well until the season is over and we've survived. 7 CBs and one striker.

If I were Delli Ali, bearing in mind football is ALL about money for the players, I would not sign anything with Tottenham and let clubs know I would be up for moving. A top club would triple his current wages.

Ali is a diamond in the rough and will be on a whopping salary if he continues to mature. Whilst our average salary is supposedly £60,000 a week we are by far not the only club in the PL with a lot of deadwood around, home grown and international. Can't see a lot changing in this regard for some seasons yet, with another huge TV deal to come. Edited by Booted Eagle (09 Oct 2017 5.30pm)

Hard to say with all of them, but it is also possible that as part of Allardyce's 'advice' he suggested we retain those players. Then FDB came in and had other ideas. Or maybe Parish didn't want to be in the same position people accused him/Pardew of before of getting rid of influential figures in the dressing room without properly replacing them.
Employee of the month is a good example of how someone can be both a winner and a loser at the same time. |

Shut up. The op said it shows just why we're in this mess so that's why I posted, so it is relevant. Midlands Eagle is right, you hijack as many threads as you can repeating the same old points.

Yeah because you 2 don't like knowing that Parish has c0cked up big time, several times, over 24 - 30 months, in the same or similar ways.

It could get us into major trouble indeed if we were to go down. Examples all over the place and who could be confident about us getting back soon? The only way will be to supplement the wages when they move on which is exactly what we should consider with some of them. Originally posted by Lyons550

Yes true, but.... Sakho,van Aanholt, Schlupp, Tomkins amongst others have contacts till 2021 and you would not think anyone will pay them what we are doing now would you.....? And I know there are parachute payments but would it not be nice to rebuild with them just in case..... Originally posted by Midlands Eagle

Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |
