Which leaves us nowhere near an appointment. If Parish had wanted Cooper he would have appointed him, he was available, cheaper and without the baggage Nuno takes with him.

It's no good hiding Dazza. We're coming for you.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

I read one story that says deal is off and then I read this.

I'm so Palace I don't even know it

Got any links? I only saw reports that the deal was very close, NOT that he had signed last night.

Absolutely. Could still yet be Lampard

The reports are that the demands were too much for Palace and they've decided to walk away. That's all we know. Mendes isn't a "bogeyman", he is simply not the type of person we should be getting into bed with. And the question marks over how it would all fit in with our particular club and structure was always an elephant in the room that very few Palace fans wanted to come to terms with. Of course people on the BBS are upset about this, because they live in an echo chamber where disagreement isn't tolerated and this morning was their scheduled w*** fest.

Parish & Dougie have got their own set up in place. Their job is to protect the long term interests of this club. They need to hire a manager who fits in with the structure we have in place and is prepared to work go with the intention of building & progression over the long term.

I'd rather us compromise on getting a "big name" than compromise on the fundamental set up of the club. As I said, if they've walked away, it will be with good reason either way. And I cannot say I'm overly disappointed by it.
