Not many would disagree, its just a question of timing and the manner of his departure. He must leave with dignity in my view.

Why is it either, or ? I'd just like to watch us actually play to win not nick points.

Well, ain't that the measure of a manager; not where he can take his team, but how it looks to the nation as a whole.

I am not a fan of the negative football played, but the results must mean something.

If he won the league with 35% possession, all would hail him as a genius.

The big question Mr Parish has to ask himself is "how do we move on from here?"
Croydon Roy wasn't first choice, let us all remember that. The failed experiment with FdB brought in a manager who was unlikely to get another top profile job, particularly given his "Iceland" adventure with England, for which he is best known.
Four seasons later an ageing, injury beset side who play as if going forward has been thoroughly coached out of them in persuance of a negative style of play that has admitted kept us in the lower reaches of the PL for the time being. Time's up, this side can't carry on like this for another season, too old, too slow, too injury beset - so what's it going to be Mr Parish, how do we move on from here?

I think that’s how many of us feel, and feel lucky in a way because we can’t go and waste a day at Selhurst.

There will have to be three really, really bad teams next year for us to stay up. You know what we're like - we won't get our sh1t together. The promoted teams often struggle but Norwich look better than us. Newcastle look awful but have injuries. Burnley are crap but beat us 3-0, Brighton look bad but have a much better squad than us. We look like one of the three worst for next season.
