Sorry but can't agree with this in the slightest. So to get a management change, by the same rational, I assume people would prefer us to lose every game for the rest of the season than win every game? Or if we win every game would the same people then be calling for Pardew to be knighted? It's ridiculous to ever want your team to lose for whatever reason. What a stupid example that is. Why would people want Pardew to be sacked if we won every game for the rest of the season? I think the point is we definitely won't and the longer Pardew is at the helm the more trouble we are in. If a win tomorrow = buying Pardew time then that concerns me massively. Still, looking at the bigger picture, I can't truly want Palace to lose but I'm certain that this guy needs to leave the club - and sharpish.
We're the Arthur over ere! |

Real fans go to games too. Even if we win our next three it wont be long before the next slump sets in. Better to sort things now before it gets even more desperate. I am hoping SP has already sounded out AP replacement. OK so in your opinion we sack Pardew bring in ANO and we will then go on a winning streak.?

Waiting until January is not a good idea, between now and the transfer window a new manager can identify our biggest problems and look to bring in suitable players. If a manager joins in Jan then he will want to give the current players a chance as is the norm. I am not one for wanting to sack managers and have backed Pardew for longer than he deserves but its clear it is not going to work and things will only get worse.

Never want us to lose a game. But it's never the end of the world and it might just be the dawn of a bright new one

I am hoping SP has already sounded out AP replacement. I always respect and generally agree with your posts but struggling with the idea of wanting the palace to lose. I do understand where you are coming from, but I still believe AP will turn it around and embark on an unbeaten run.

As far as I know, Allardyce was sacked from the England job for saying (in private) that rules on third party ownership can be got around (which no doubt they can). Not what the FA want to hear but how does this make him a crook? That was my recollection too plus when asked about a consultancy role he said that he would have to run it past the FA Were we not interested in buying Luca Lima from Brazil in the summer who is allegedly owned by several different parties. If so was Steve Parish intending to get some tips from Allardyce on how to circumvent third party ownership?

People are now wanting the team to lose so he gets sacked so therefore surely they don't want a complete turn around in our fortunes. You are so certain that you want him gone regardless of results, would your opinion change if that scenario happened? Football fans are fickle I get that, what I fail to understand is how stopping supporting the team is going to help in any way - And yes, wanting us to lose is failing to support the team in my opinion, no matter how loud you sing on Saturday.

Exactly. I also fail to see how booing and berating every small mistake from the stands is supposed to help the confidence on the pitch, I don't believe for a second that it doesn't effect a players performance, professional athlete or not.

Like everybody else I never want to see us lose but looking at the big picture if I knew for a fact that a defeat tomorrow would mean the end of Pardew then I would take it. A new manager coming in now would still have 24 games to keep us in the division, plenty of time. A big assumption that a) we can afford to drop 3 points and b) a new manager will keep us up. Then of course you have to factor in that other clubs will make changes in the hope of staying up too
