In my opinion if he stays we will be relegated, simple as that. However, I don't believe the board will let it go to that far. I only hope they don't leave it too late.

..nicely written.

Same here. When he knew we needed to tighten up at the back, we ended up giving up five goals to a team struggling to score. He seems far too dogmatic to effect defensive solidity.

I would still defend him though as he has been our second most successful manager ever and does not deserve the personal abuse some have thrown his way. Far too many people on here have been abusive merely because he is doing badly. Many of the same people routinely abuse others simply for not wanting him sacked. That's asinine.

If you come to a fork in the road, take it.

We constiently made defensive errors and conceding from set pieces and in the last 10 minutes of games. Pardew been making wrong substitution in games. He has to go , the rot has set in.

I don't think he should even be allowed to bounce on his way through the gates.

I make that a year since that Lee strike won it for us at Stoke and since then let's see. These I think are the decent league results since that day.

Palace 1 Norwich 0
Wet Spam 2 Palace 2
Arsenal 0 Palace 0
Palace 2 Stoke 1
Everton 1 Palace 1
Palace 4 Stoke 1
Sunderland 2 Palace 3
Palace 3 Southampton 0

Rest - s***e.

Eight out of 41. Two of those are wins by more than one goal and one of those two was flattering. Compare that with before that turning point and see we beat Chelsea and the bin dippers away, demolished the Toon and got results against teams around us. That was despite having a weaker strike force and mostly the same defenders.

I'm struggling to understand WTF he's still doing here.

The man is clearly failing. If we had a s*** team and no money I could understand it and except the situation, but we have a decent team and money to improve it. This season has been dreadful so far and this is now a whole year were we have been absolutely abysmal. Sorry, but he clearly isn't the short or long term answer. We need to move now before it's too late and we're getting cast adrift (sure it's tight now but if we carry on we'll be deep in the mire). No other manager in Palace history has been afforded more loyalty or backing, hell even Stevie Coppell was out the last time we were this inept in the Prem and he is a proper Palace legend, not one who popped up with one iconic goal in his career but was crap for the rest of it.
