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. The conspiracy theorists are saying that Sam was annoyed because he couldn't bring in Defoe for £6m and £130,000pw in wages but I'm not convinced. Sam was a pragmatist who probably had an idea of what his budget was and even made noises in the media about the difficulties of buying players. My own conspiracy theory is based on the surprise that he showed when told that two of his players that had contracts expiring had just had them extended. It's a theory that I poo pooed at the time on the basis that I didn't think Parish would be that stupid but Sam's hasty walk out has made me change my mind

Definitely time to stop this nonsense.

And he sacked Pardew because he had turned to s***e, and that decision was not exactly controversial. Normally, seeing any comment from you makes me bristle with frustration But this time, sir. I salute you. Well said

Parish is the Chairman and a chairman's job is to plan the long term strategy and not to get involved in the minutiae of footballing matters and if the rumours are true that he does go over the manager's head and sign players and extend contracts then that is very wrong and if he continues to do that he will end up with such a bad reputation that no half decent manager will want to come here And what if they are nothing but a loud of f***ing bollocks? You've obviously decided not to entertain that possibility

Never let a fact get in the way of a good conspiracy theory. I'm just off to chat with Elvis and I'll ask him what he thinks.

It's pointless speculating, we are where we are. I am not sure why we should be 'asking questions' if another manager leaves, the answer remains the same. We don't own the club, we don't get a say. And hey, nobody's perfect. Even if some clever clogs have uncovered a weakness in Mr Parish that doesn't make him overall a bad Chairman, relatively speaking.

"Zaha signs 5 year extension" Yeah, Parish must go because he's such a dick!
