Very wokey. Sometimes in pro sport doing your best is not enough. Comments on here have not been attacking the club and it’s personnel. They have been about our dire situation and what can be done to change it. With the personnel we have today and no changes we are looking at relegation almost certainly. Is that what you want? Toughen up face the reality, accept that some of us care about winning and staying up. I have just paid for my season ticket and I like and I want premier football to stay at Selhurst. If we can’t reasonably comment on the problems the club has then we all become wokes. And most posters here are definitely not that. But we are all hard Palace men. You need to toughen up pal and face the facts or your heroes will all be gone. Fact.

Amazing how many of the anti Parish brigade joined the site in 2013.
I’m happy with the way the club is being run, those bleating about premier league football need to realise that it’s not an if it’s a when as far as a club our size and relegation goes.
Oh and these mystery billionaires that are itching to by palace but won’t because SP is clinging to power really don’t exist.

I cannot understand why anyone thinks its a bad thing that the contract situation is bad, its 11 players,
Sakho, Batshuayi ,Clyne, Dann, Wickham, PVA, McCarthy, Ward, Hennessey, Townsend And Cahill,
Only the last too might be worth keeping
The other players are finished anyway, The saving on wages is 700k a week, 37million a year,
There is some very good young players knocking on the door, Partially in my view Rich-Baghuelou, Rak-Sakyi and Hannam,
3 loan stops are available, CD, RB, AM,
All is not Awful, if it is Cooper (who wouldn't be my Choice) he must be backed 100% by Players, Staff, and fans until he has been given a fair chance

I think Palace’s version relating to Nuno is possibly near the truth, as similar happened at Everton. However, I cannot believe the Favre reasoning. If he wanted a longer break, he would not have even spoken to the Club. There was something that arose, late on, that had not been divulged before, actual transfer funds? Transfer targets? Dougie’s role? I doubt we will ever know
In a bizarre way I hoped he pitched up at another club, Everton or Spurs. At least then it could not be attributed to a problem at Palace, unfortunately there obviously is a problem

On the Favre situation, I think most people have at times talked to other employers about open positions where its nice to be linked with opportunities, its nice to feel that your stock is suitably well thought of to be wanted, maybe you go along to the interviews hoping that something is going to click to make you take the offer seriously, both sides talk, eventually at a certain point in time it gets serious, at that point you have to sign, or make clear your reservations to see if you can get closer to each other or if the gap between the employers & employees thinking is too great then you walk away.

My guess (and its only a guess) is that with our situation, (players /contracts / relegation prospects) the amount of money available to achieve what was required isn't realistic & by the time that became apparent we would be fast approaching Christmas & the board would then have to make a decision to further back the manager in the Jan transfer window or bring in another fireman Sam style saviour, either way it makes for a very bumpy ride.

That's a dangerously intelligent and well-reasoned post. Totally agree.
