Each time the next manager does the job he has been employed to do. It isn't ideal but if it means we don't end up in 3 years time with ageing players and no resale value then it's a better alternative. Clubs like us have to sell to stay in this league and getting that wrong will see us relegated, I guarantee it. So maybe you need to have a think about that. Once we have a squad of over 20 quality players and close to 25 I bet managers won't be in such a hurry to leave after bonus day. Until then the big names know they will at some point get a club that has lots of quality players to do their job and not just 15. Take a break.

If the rumors are true about Sam then Parish must leave the club. Apparently it's because Delaney and Hennessey were given new contracts behind Sam's back. Similar to when Parish told Pulis is which players he could and couldn't sign regardless of price. His job isn't to manage the team, once an owner starts that they need to piss off. We've lost the only two real premier league managers we've ever had because of him.

Personally and without any prior knowledge ... I do not think big Sam is at all well. A fellow fan and I discussed this possibility yesterday evening. We agreed that he doesn't look well.

Well well well, all very Palace and all very HOL. Very Palace to find ourselves yet again with a manager walking out in the close season. Very HOL for reactions which beer from the bizarre to the bonkers. Has he simply walked? Quite possibly. His wife stayed up north (shades of Dowie here.) But he was 6 months into a 2 1 year contract so I assume if he has retired he will not see that paid off. He has also at least gone at a time we can appoint someone else and they can put their stamp on things. I would not want to see another Warnock style panic appointment. I think you've nailed it; they're all p*ssed!

Ok keyboard warrior, maybe you should read the posts agreeing with me instead of completely failing to come up with a reasonable arguement. LOOOOOOOOL

LOOOOOOOOL Average tenure for PL managers now is less than 18 months. This isn't just a Palace problem. Take Wenger out of the equation and it will be around the year mark.

As soon as we start to look to have a future in this league that isn't a relegation battle each year it all crashes down. Im entitled to be pissed off at the one common demoninator. Don't start me on the Americans who don't even know where selhurst park is. The problem isn't that you are pissed off, you are a paying fan and deserve your say. The problem is that you are criticising the only constant that has taken us from the verge of bankruptcy to our longest ever stint in the premier league. The issue in my opinion isn't with the chairman, its with the unrealistic expectations of fans given the size of our club and of the maverick style managers that we have had to appoint to save us from relegation. If Parish's decisions are protecting us from financial insecurity then they are the right decisions - 130k a week and a 3 year deal to Defoe is utter madness (if accurate) and in my opinion (and ye its a guess) is more likely to have driven Sam's decision than a couple of contracts given that he publicly said that he wanted to sign Defoe.

If it is 18 months (or less) it would be 6 months without Wenger. He's been there 20 years so adds a whole year onto the average by himself.

LOOOOOOOOL My reasonable argument is that SP and CPFC2010 have worked miracles at Palace and I'm very happy with the job they do. Unlike some ungrateful tw@ts who think we should get rid of the very people who saved our club. The simple reality is with SP we wouldn't have a club. That's my very simple argument.

Well this site is the space to state opinions and if your really a Palace fan and its your view. Well then that's okay. However, as a cogent augment your really in the minority here as most of us are 100% behind SP and the board. Edited by johnmcormick8 (24 May 2017 2.09pm) Well put. Completely agree
Been to Anfield twice seen 14 goals and my team haven't scored any |

This is Oct 2015 where it is higher 2.2, I can't find the article I read last night. Swansea, will bring down the average and of course Sunderland are at least as bad as us. I will see if I can find the article when I get home
