I feel like this thread should be entitled ‘someone with loads o’ money IN’

I might amend this further actually to ‘Someone with loads o’ money, who’s gained it through ethical means, is happy to throw said money around for the benefit of the club whilst allowing Parish to retain control... IN!’

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

How long have you been a Palace fan? Because honestly, these are the best years for me. The football may not be pretty but it beats some of the s***e I've seen and awful games I've been to when we didn't have a pot to piss in. Better the devil we know, definitely. (I don't even think he's a devil)

Our season back in 2012/13 where we won promotion, that was our most entertaining season and we won a trophy... guess what, it didn't;t take the prep money, high wages or superstar names.

Don't think being in the prem equates to success.
don't think being in the prem equates to better quality - it does not.

We need to reduce wages, to that of a newly promoted club. we need to lower the average age, we need to source local talent and have a scouting system.

We need to play the prem at it's own game... accept the crazy money it awards us, invest it so wisely the we don't become blackmailed and hijacked by it.

ranked 17th for wages, ranked 11th - 13th each season with a fun cup run... yes please.

 


This was once a quality forum....

Fans are entitled to their opinion, but I always laugh when I hear ‘board out’ Parish Out’.

Oddly enough I laugh out loud when I hear someone saying that "fans are entitled to their opinion" but then carries on to imply "but only when it coincides with mine"

^ more or less.

Plus, I will say it again, I believe there will have been method in the club's madness in letting these contracts expire.

 


If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

The Academy needed investment and it has been delivered. The youngsters are doing extremely well but the next hurdle is keeping hold of them, when attention from the bigger clubs starts.

The biggest axe I have to grind with SP is his want of being loud on social media when things are going well but his silence when, perhaps fans need to know what is going on.
I believe he is running the club as well as he can but I agree he does not have the funds to continue any improvement. IMO he is out of his depth when trying to deal with old campaigners like Levy.
I had it on relatively good authority that there were buyers seriously interested in buying the club about 18 months ago. Not sure what happened but I doubt SP was ready to relinquish the reins.

There will always be chancers but I doubt there are any serious buyers out there at the moment. Until we are back to normal why would you buy a football club with the financial uncertainties.

Correct, the stars have aligned to haunt us at the worst possible time.

I would have thought that provided your pockets were deep enough to ride out this storm if you were one of those people or consortiums that had a hankering to buy / own a football club (one that has potential to be more than the sum of its parts / current value)
now would be an excellent time to buy one - (depressed market values)
Granted there are an awful lot of iffs in this equation / scenario.

I agree. Now is the best possible time to buy. Everything from now on is upside. Those with money at the levels we are talking will always have money.

There has to be. It's not like they've suddenly realised that half the squad is free to leave with only a few months to go. There will obviously be some sort of strategy in place. Does it make it ideal? No. Have they adjusted their plans for it well in advance? Has to be yes. The club isn't run like a Sunday League WhatsApp group.

 


Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

Not sure what he's done wrong other than not being a billionaire willing to spunk a load of money into a football club.

Probably getting into bed with the Americans, in an attempt to bring in fresh cash, is probably his biggest mistake. However, as someone else has already posted, at least he didn't sell to someone only to saddle the club with massive debts.

Parish is a breath of fresh air compared to Jordan, Goldberg, Noades and Ray Bloye who were all disasters overall (although Noades did have some success). Arthur Wait was before my time so can't comment on him.

Be careful what you wish for.

How very true.
