I guess you haven't read my posts then. Like I've said many times I think Steve f***ed up big time, appointing De Boar and trying to change the direction of the club from counter attacking to total football without spending was f***ing stupid in my uneducated opinion. I'm not debating that i'm simply saying that when certain people disrespect Steve and start calling for his head and disregarding the past 7 years is ridiculous. When some moron on the internet thinks he can run the club better than Steve without having any experience is laughable. The guy got us to the prem and kept us there for 7 years. Maybe we should appoint Rudinho he seems to know his stuff, although like I said he does remind me of those trolls that critique boxers because they've had a few boxing classes and think they are the s***.

Are you f***ing retarded? I deem my opinion on football just as s*** and worthless as any other fan who hasn't run a club. I'm not the one saying I could run the club better than A premiership chairman who got us promoted and kept us in the division for 5 years, Who is also getting advised by ex professionals like Mark Bright and Dougie. So don't try that Einstein I've never given my opinion on how to run the club as i'm not deluded to think i have a more educated opinion on football than those in charge.

Everyone is entitled to a view on whether mistakes have been or are being made. Most people will agree that in hindsight there are decisions which have been taken that haven't been correct. However, this isn't a badly run club as some have us believe. My mate is an Orient fan. He'll tell you what a badly run club looks like.

Also, why mention the increase in money that you spend to watch the games? If we were in the championship would you have expected the prices to have been frozen for 5 years? I would imagine that most businesses in the last 5 years have raised prices in one way or another.

I think the difference is with this period, is the "hope" seems to of faded. As a fan of any club, you always look to see a positive sign regardless of how bad things are. A small part of you finds comfort In the potential. There is always something to be proud of, whether it's the fan base, youth set up etc.

For the first time as a Palace fan I've felt genuinely disillusioned by the things going on off the field and I personally feel the way we treated the previous manager was embarrassing and an epitome of everything that is wrong in English football today. It just feels hard to see the potential of ever progressing, given the almost unique Palace way we went about it and the reckless decision making process we appeared to employ. That's the thing most people have a problem with, it was completely amateur from start to finish.

Why would a forward thinking, long-term visioned coach who wants to progress a teams style over a period of a couple of seasons ever want to come to Palace after that fiasco? Parish provided sweet nothing as to why the managerial reign lasted such a little amount of time other than "we weren't gonna get any better and we ain't gonna go to Chelsea and pass our way to win" which to me just sounded like garbage and comes back to this image of Parish, a couple of yanks and Dougie Freedman genuinely believing they know more about the game than an ex world class and globally respected footballer.

There is almost definitely much more to it that he won't admit, because if he couldn't see that against Liverpool the game plan most certainly wasn't "pass our way through Em" and we could've easily come away with a point (or 3), he's just lying to everyone.

In the same respect that your patience is wearing thin in regards to everyone just being grateful to Parish for saving the club, there are those of us that are bored of the constant moaning about how badly the club is being run. If there is such a strong feeling of anger and annoyance about it why don't those fans do something about it. Organise a protest, send a petition, get a banner made up etc.

Do you know how silly that sounds?

When was your last match? How many matches in a season?

When you wake up you'll find out how stupid that immature post is.

Going by how recent you've entered these forums you probably either don't go very often or dip in and out.
