Surely not after yesterday

In fairness to SP he's tried to draw investment as and when its been needed to keep us in the division whilst trying to protect the club from the wrong type. So the current ownership structure has evolved through necessity and without Textor's money a couple of years back we'd already be in the Championship.

What I find really curious are the stories that Harris and Blitzer didn't understand the concept of relegation when they acquired their shares and (by inference) that their attitude to investment changed as a result.

As others have said a degree of complacency set in pre-season with the club gambling heavily on the three promoted teams not being good enough along with Forest.

I think there's been complacency amongst some of the fans as well with all the social media full of comment about what a great squad we had, Zaha no longer needed etc when IMO that wasn't the case.

Clearly there was a lack of height / strong headers of the ball which was exposed a bit towards the end of last season most notably against West Ham.

You could go on and on but most of all the lack of any real attacking quality or intensity throughout the whole team or squad when we lose two players. The warning signs were there pre-season.

No one argues that Parish done a good Job originally, but the outside investment is always on his terms, he doesn't own the club, and the ridiculous voting system has made the board impotent

So, with respect, how/what are we, as supporters supposed to do, according to you? Are we,according to you, not allowed to voice our displeasure at what we pay hard earned money, following our team? I & the majority of supporters know the people involved work hard for the club, BUT, why is it we are now where we are & for the 1st time since I can remember, in now my 60th season of being on the roller coaster that is CPFC, fans/supporters are now demonstrating? We are all fed up. Telling us supporters to go & stop attending, spend our hard earned money elsewhere, who the hell are you???

Right..... and SP is a supporter and a chairman? So I'm not sure how your point is valid.

Why is it certain fans alude to the view of "Parish wants to leave a legacy with a stadium and doesn't care about the club".

I would've thought the stadium improvement had obvious reasons for it.

I cannot understand this thinking.

He is and always has been a fan, much like SJ.

Does anybody really think they want to cock up or make mistakes costing potential millions.

It's not like he isn't trying to steer the club towards success and it's not as if he would get enjoyment out of the angry fans with banners every week.

Good points.

I expect the pressure of getting so many things correct is pretty high and I agree things haven't gone brilliantly but I think this is magnified because of the likes of Brightons recent successes and by Roy inabilities. I think we are unlucky with injuries recently (whether that's down to Roy or not is a point of contention.)

In this respect, if we survive and have everybody fit for next season, things will look a lot rosier.
