Who's being arrogant?

We need 2 new full backs,a defensive midfielder and an attacking central midfielder. £75 mill should do it.

The voice of reason, good post Sadly we have a lot of fans that have not experienced the bad times.. let's keep the faith.

Plenty of fickleness and very little loyalty from some as if we are so much better than the Bournemouths, Middlesboroughs and Sunderlands of this world that we should be way above them in the league.

Half of our first team would not automatically command a place in these other lower Prem teams due to their, and it's simple really, footballing ability.

it's not Pards fault that we still lack 4 or 5 players whom we need to make the team complete and a 50-60pt Prem team season in season out. He has only been with us 22 months and he inherited a much weaker squad. He's doing ok overall. Another year and a few more signings is what he needs and deserves. He kept us up when we seemed certs for relegation don't forget.

Be loyal.

It's a tough one, it could all click and we can move onwards and upwards. But chances are, the trend will continue and we will have another wasted season and risk losing players or not attracting who we want.

Personally - besides the cup run, it hasn't worked out for him. Last season we had a huge amount of luck - granted which happens, but after xmas we nose dived - sure, we had silly injuries etc, but that can happen for any club.

This season he got some great players in and let's be honest, we should be 6 points further up the table at least and our goals against should not be what it is.

Should SP do what he is always does and gamble that things will work out or does he gamble with someone proven.

Let's be honest, Pards looked good at NUFC because he was apparently working under such constraints 'the chairman selects the signings' 'money isn't always there'.. well now at palace he has had the backing and granted he has bought in some good faces, but is he getting the best out of them.

If we get a new guy in now, with the squad we have, we shouldn't be to worried about relegation. Come january, if nothing has improved, it's a lot harder to get things sorted.

But, i feel SP would rather us have 3 worse teams and survive any way and carry on making money.

This was once a quality forum....

I don't really want AP - never did - but I sort of agree with your points on loyalty.
However - we need to remember that in his first (half) season with us he got 31 points in 36 games with a team that he has since dismantled!
We might have a few (only a few) better players but we are worse as a team and that worries me a lot.

Should stick, we are scoring goals, unlike last season when we couldn't buy one. All the time we are scoring we are in with a chance.

Of course we need to work on being tighter at the back. In spite of results, there does seem to be a togetherness in the squad, that makes me confident that with a few tweaks the results will come
