Luka, Bats, Benteke, Dann, Cahill , PVA are all no longer good enough for the Premier League.
That's not Roy's fault, but these players have to be replaced ASAP.
With the squad we have we are in a realistic place in the league.

The atmosphere at Selhurst Park hasn’t been anything special for many years. You’re just doing the "Best fans ever in the history of the world" BS routine. You get over yourself and perhaps question where you really expect Roy to have the club at this stage.

Whatever your opinion of the headline ‘pandemic of apathy’ I can’t help but smile at the image of someone thinking ‘this is genius, that’ll show them’

Chelsea have a 36 year old centre back and are expected to challenge for the title so not that much of a great indicator.

People are entitled to dislike Roy and want him out. And they are by far the most vocal section of fans at the moment. I am merely pointing out that they are not representative of the entire fanbase. There are plenty of us out there who are grateful for the job he's done & the manner in which he's gone about his business.

Where I suggest that people are categorically wrong is where they make out that the club hasn't progressed under his leadership. That's just factually incorrect.

We have gone from a club who routinely survived by the skin of our teeth - spending millions in the process - to a club that is never really in any danger of relegation, without breaking the bank. That's progress.

We have gone from a club who hadn't brought through a single academy prospect since Wilf to a club that has given 3 academy players their Premier League debuts. 2 of which have established themselves as Premier League players. 1 of which is now a global star.

We have made progress, and a lot of that is down to Roy. Small progress, but progress nonetheless. We are on the brink of pushing to the next level. Sacking the guy who has established us as a semi-respectable Premier League outfit, midway through another season of almost guaranteed safety, because we have a couple of poor results, would be absurd.

Fortunately, Parish isn't a moron. So at the very least, I can take solace in the fact that it's not going to happen. I'm just disappointed in the fans and the way they've behaved to someone who has carried out a job for the club with dignity. And the drum w***ers turning up to the training ground fresh from Rymans (is that even open during lockdown?) with some shiny banners they made with glitter is just the tip of the iceberg. They can get f***ed. How anyone still gives them the time of day after what they did to season ticket holders in Block E is beyond me.
