I am by no means a financial genius, but i fail to see where this is all Parish's fault . He cant invest the kind of money you are talking about for players because he simply does not have that kind of money , the Americans do and they are refusing to stump up and invest . Parash is a minority shareholder at this stage and Chairman and has done a great job of keeping us in the premier League on a limited spend . To tell the truth i dont think id want Palace to have unlimited spend every window .( look at Everton ) That has never been the Palace way , i know we are short on players but we are getting there slowly by buying cheap and selling high . As long as the money is reinvested in the squad im happy with that. Im not as you put it a Parish man im a Palace man and always have been and i have always supported Palace through the good and bad times . I remember walking from Croydon on a Wednesday night in the pissing rain because i didnt have the 2 pence bus fare only to find out it was postponed when i got there . You need to relax mate and enjoy the ride you should know better at your age Palace isn't going to change now . It probley never will .

Wholeheartedly agree with you there Car54 , some give idiots a bad name .

Just thought id have a look & in a funny kind of way, you are both right. This is taken from his opening post on this thread on 25th June . . .

"We have around £30m to spend if Zaha goes this increases to around 70m as Wilf would have been on around £10m a season over 4 years so that equates to £40m."

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

-.-' -.-' That is very low even for you Sarf , I was trying to understand why you are so aggressive and rude but you crossed a line there . This forum would be a better place without you

Dazza had been saying done deal for over two weeks, when it wasn’t.

It is purely guesswork, like him saying Wilf had re-signed for us and that it would be announced that same week.

Nope…page 1, his first post. He said we have £30m to spend but if Zaha goes this increases to £70m.

Basura.

Lewis Hall - is a done deal

If I mis-led anyone I apologise the £70m I said we would have if Zaha did not sign does include wages of any players we sign.

With this in mind I would say we have around £50m to spend & £20m for wages of which we have done around £20m on Franca & Hall.

This will leave us around £30m give or take.

We have another loan so will use the bulk of this money on a striker.

We still have around £30m & around £15m wages to play with.

Wouldn’t matter if he did, they wouldn’t believe him!
