i wasnt for the de boer appointment in the first place, as i knew this would happen (not this early into the regime, i'll admit). we just dont have the personnel to play a more expansive possession game. tried by holloway, and mildew, and failed miserably. parish said on twitter we cant keep spending money. i agree totally. dont live beyond your means. but i asked him why he appointed a manager, that would then need a squad overhaul to achieve this style of play? so we now have to pay god knows how much to de boer. money that couldve been used elsewhere (another striker). so he spent six weeks appointing a manager to sack him after four games, and according to stories, lining up hodgson. he couldve just done that from the onset. im not suggesting SP should do one. he's a very good businessman, and the club has probably never been in a better financial position. but when it comes to football matters, he's s***. we had two good managers in pulis, and BS. and this is just my opinion, but i think he pissed both of em off. ive said for a few years, we need a director of football who knows the game. and someone he'll listen to. if he insists on sticking his nose into the football side, maybe he should then sell up. cos we're going backwards, at this rate

a rich man is only a poor man with an obscene amount of money

joke !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

In light of the improved display yesterday followed by Parishes "we need to stick together" twitter rant, I am guessing this has either come from the Americans or there was serious malcontent in the dressing room. Either way it's all very Palace. I guess Dougie is our plan B.

We saved 4M 'negotiating/waiting' to get an injured Sakho back who could not have played. So why was it too long... jokes

No we haven't forgotten because people like you keep BLOODY REMINDING US!

Do give me a list of "every aspect" that's been transformed; I'll take financial probity and cladding as a given.

Strange decision, why appoint him in the first place if your not going to fully back him. But to say he's a s*** chairman is ridiculous, he's transformed the club from a s*** club in south London to an established premier league side. To say he's a lucky chairmen is moronic, I guess he was lucky with the appointment of Dougie Freedman, then the appointment of Ian Holloway who got us promoted, then got lucky for 5 years keeping us in the league.
