Perhaps you don't understand the concept of a discussion forum

to everybody who is digging out parish...

what do you do for a living?
are you perfect?
when was the last time you earnt a promotion?
do you ever make mistakes?
have you ever left a sector you know inside out & been successful in your new sector everytime?

if i was him i would come on here & tell you guys to swivel...thats why i am not in his position.

I couldn’t agree more

I can understand people wanting to discuss the clubs actions, and of course there will be some things SP or DF have done which either at the time or with the gift of hindsight we might not all agree with, but the idea that anyone could actually be ‘anti’ Parish is so remarkable as to beggar belief.

Just glance for one moment at the long and growing list of clowns, crooks, attention-seekers and vultures who have run so many football clubs in this Country into the ground.

Some of them (Mark Goldberg anyone?) mean well but don’t know what they are doing. SP has taken a seriously failing business out of receivership and into the rudest of economic health.

Some use their clubs to line their own pockets at the expense of the clubs financial strength. Under SP we have broken our transfer record time and again, and put our balls on the line paying the proper market rate in wages. When we stop spending it’s because, as has been explained time and again by SP, FFP restricts us.

Some arrive in a blaze of (self) publicity and promise the earth before realising that actually it’s not that easy and slinking away back where they came from, becoming absentee owners with a puppet administration on the ground. SP is at reserve and youth games, lives and breathes CPFC every day. He has worked hard to get the academy up to scratch, to own our own training ground again, to build a new stand. This is the kind of long term legacy of a man who cares. The short-term owner doesn’t make this kind of investment, he just blows all the money on mercenary players until it all burns out, then shrugs his shoulders while the club implodes (Portsmouth, Leeds etc).

Finally, and most mind-bogglingly of all, the anti-Parish brigade do actually know that we are living in the golden age of Crystal Palace? I mean what exactly have you not enjoyed about leaving administration, getting promoted, staying up for the longest period in our history, beating Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea etc and reaching a cup final?

Amazing.
