I know that the point I am making is sometimes people need to get a grip about it

When I was a young girl my Mother said to me.. You listen here kid you're CPFC

I haven't got a bad word to say about Parish except to say that his loyalty to the previous dope could end up costing us, but more importantly him and the Shermans, very dearly.

You might do when he gives the same time to the present dope. And we are mid table in a league below.

Bournemouth are getting a bit of the Palace-style nose bleed atm, expect a result ground out on Tuesday b4 Sunderland's suicidal transfer policy sees us beat them on Saturday and the momentum will see us take the necessary points from the other teams around us and the other under-motivated midtable clubs like West Brom in the coming weeks. Sam's football is pragmatic but not route 1, more crosses from deep than long balls with lots of very thoughtful movement re setting up mismatches or outnumbering defenders - he's balancing the squad, trying to get more physical presence in midfield to protect the defence, which may be a three man defence to release another offensive player - good or bad whatever type of run you're in always seems to be forever when you're in it - for all the fight of Hull they can't stay up selling the likes of Snodgrass, Sunderland must pay for continuing not to invest adequately - we just need to beat one more team to stay up: Watford or Boro I would say, think Burnley have enough, Leicester are not out of this. This 'Sam is damaged goods/unmotivated' stuff is premature and a big over-reaction - Pardew left the club with a squad without balance, coherence or enough options to play in different ways. The current situation doesn't give Sam enough time, but once his additions gel I expect us to do what we did under Pulis and Pardew and pull clear - I think the bookies are expecting that too.

About Parish? No, still wouldn't say a bad word against him.
If we do go down, Allardyce stays on and we're making no progress promotion wise then I don't think Parish will be so naive as he was with Pardew.
He's had his fingers burnt once. I can't see an astute man like him dropping 2 bollocks in a row.

Oh I'm well aware that he's not above criticism - no-one is. And I'm sure he sold part of the club to the yanks with its best interests at heart as well as his own.
In an ideal world, one in which we stay up, get redevelopment permission and properly cement a mid table place then those yanks could turn out to be a godsend.
But that's life, isn't it?
Who knows?
