He'd still be receiving plaudits look at our league position and the players we have in our squad compared to seven years ago.

Which other clubs have in that time come from the brink of bankruptcy to where we are now?

HOW MANY?

Would happily have gone through all those managers to arrive at Sam and our current league position.

Sam's decided to leave and not one person no if his reasons aren't legit.

So why is anyone questioning our owner who has helped bring us this far?

Because we haven't got a better stadium yet?

Jokers if your aren't pleased with what he has achieved in such a SHORT space of time.

Spurs have been in the Premiership for how long ? And yet there only now building a new stadium.

Completely ungrateful if you think us not YET having a better stadium is a reason to lambast or criticise our owner who HAS brought us so far in such a SHORT period.

Good to see if it's the same old trolls baiting....

Well they shouldn't moan.

Simple solution to not having so many managers. We could have kept Pardew and be playing in the championship next season.

No thanks.

The stadium will happen when it happens. It's obviously being worked on. Unfortunately Parish can't just force other parties in to things if they don't want to.

Things take time.

How long did it take Spurs? They been planning there stadium for YEARS!

Ungrateful anyone who doesn't appreciate the job Parish has done.

And simply it stops there...

Think we'd be rightly chuffed with anyone who has delivered what SP has. Regardless of whether he was one of us or not. He's under promised and over delivered right across the board. Has only. Never tried his best and had open and honest communication with the fans.

"We love you Palace, we f@cking hate Man U, We love you Palace, we hate the brighton too, We love you Palace we play in red 'n' blue, so f@ck you, and you ...

That comes accross to me as a very silly statement but obviously I respect your opinion. Myself I regard Parish as having done a quite remarkable job.
I shall shut up now

It is true we have had 7 managers in a short space of time. However when there has been a change for whatever reason I believe SP and the board acted in what they consider to be the best interest of our club. Now if we go back an actually look at the reason why there was a managerial change I don't considered any were caused because of the board failure.

The board seem to know something about football. Steve Parish works in the best interests of Crystal Palace, which is something not all of those posting appear to accept.

But all are allowed to an opinion however misplaced or cranky.

This.....people say we need to get a proven premiership manager in. But the 2 we've had (excluding pardew) got out as soon as they could. If mancini comes in and has s good season will he stay another year - I doubt it. I can understand why SP brought in SA, and it worked but if we want a manager who's going to stay a while, we need to look at someone who's not a 'proven premiership managet'

Parish must stay.brilliant chairman.

Has moved the club on.

Can't believe some peeps want him out.

That's the key word here though isn't it. Our last two managers have said quite the opposite to dispel any reputation about being an interfering chairman. In fact, didn't Sam say he invited SP into the dressing room after Sunderland to let 'em know how he felt rather than SP simply sticking his nose in.

The only whinger on that front was Pulis & we've been told by two different judges that he was lying about more or less everything when he tried to fleece CPFC.

Perhaps there's grounds for SP to be a tad more cautious than most but if it wasn't for social media & t'interweb these recycled rumours wouldn't see the light of day.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Who knows what goes on, but this is the third manager to leave when we had enjoyed, or were beginning to enjoy, a period of success. Freedman does genuinely seem to have been about money (his). Pulis put a huge amount of work into pre-season, which he's unlikely to have done if he was intending to leave at the time. Whilst it would seem that, at the time he left, it was probably because he'd had another job offer, that doesn't mean that the suggested catalyst for his wish to depart, the transfer policy, doesn't hold water. Finally Allardyce who, it seemed, was so motivated to get out that there were scorch marks on the manager's office floor. The sudden Damascus moment really doesn't ring true; life-changing decisions are rarely made on a whim. The 'statement' has all the hallmarks of a carefully constructed piece of spin to minimise damage to both parties. If Sam really felt so warmly about us, he'd have stayed to ensure a smooth transition. Again, in the background, there is the nagging issue of the transfer policy.

Only making purchases that will have a sell-on value is a laudable aim that few would argue with. The problem is that, in reality, we've spent a sizeable chunk of cash and we're, at best, standing still so far. There is, at the very least, a background noise about transfers in the Summer window that won't go away. There is a possibility that two experienced managers may have been off on their toes because, for whatever reason, they couldn't work with what was on offer. I'm happy to give the owners the benefit of the doubt this time, but if a third manager walks in similar circumstances then questions do need to be asked.
