Terrific story. I heard one about Robert Maxwell which I would love to be true. Maxwell did not allow anyone to share his lift at the Daily Mirror (true) and his staff knew to vacate it if he stepped in. One day he got in and this bloke in motorbike leathers didn't move. Maxwell demands he leaves the lift and the bloke tell him to get knotted. "How much do you earn a week" said the now volcanic faced Maxwell. The biker mentioned a number and Maxwell thrust a wad of notes at him "you're never work for me again you're fired" The guy took the money delivered his parcel and went back to his own courier company.

A number of people post with no idea of the reality of the club. The belief that we are hiding hidden gems in the academy is fanciful, without seeing any of the play is more so. I watch every U18 game possible, there are some gems there. Are they ready for PL? Of course not but some will be within 2 years

Thank goodness you are not the manager You cannot have one playe at 130k a week and everyone else on half his wages, you are living in the past, Wilf is not delivering and Eze is on 100k a week less than him, the big earners were or are Meyer, Sakho, Benteke and Wilf, it was a massive financial mistake that has to be rectified

........& they've just beaten Spurs 3-0 If that's spurs first team then happy days. Otherwise it's just a reason to be hopeful, and certainly not a business plan.

I think he'll do ok, we have some good youngsters for him to build a new squad

who had Sir Steve managed before he took over at Palace ?

The only two I would consider are Howe and Dyche. Both have managed lower premier league teams with some success for a period of time. Lampard had one year at Derby with limited success to take over at Chelsea with lots of resources. Those talking about youngsters he’ll bring through should realise that we don’t have the same quality of youngsters that Chelsea do. Thats why OUR youngsters beat Chelski, 1-0 Away & 2-1 at Home this season . . .
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

True, but different taking over a team in the bottom third of the championship after their most hated manager ever, to taking over a established but lower too division team from a vastly experienced manager. Much more to lose if you get it wrong. I’ve nothing against Lampard, but he has nowhere near the credentials of Howe or Dyche in this situation. If we can’t get either of them and Roy us stepping down then maybe we will have to take the risk, but if I was Parish I would be doing what I could to try and get either of them.

Yes true and hopefully in a couple of years they may come good. We don’t seem to have a Mason Mount or Tammy Abraham yet there though, who have a year or so experience loaned out in the championship. Hopefully whoever comes in will give them some game time, but I think we are a couple of years away from that at the moment. Originally posted by eagleman13
