I'm not a troll. I am 68 years old, raised in Croydon, and a big Palace fan. At my age you get to see things repeating over the years that younger people don't. I wrote the OP because I want supporters to be 'onto' what Parish has done over the past 11 years and let him know that we want it to stop, to encourage him to stop underfeeding the animal. I am keenly mindful of the lack of silverware in Palace's show-closets. We boast about being (arguably) the OLDEST football club in HISTORY. Even if not entirely true one would think we'd have something to show for that! I thoroughly enjoyed watching OG's Palace over the last few weeks and am super-positive about what 'could' happen. On current form, we could easily be in Europe with an FA cup under our belts. We obliterated the best teams in the best league. I personally think that keeping BOTH Olise and Eze is key to a top four position. Those two together add up to three. But I understand we may not be able to keep them through no fault of the owners. I just want Parish to know that the supporters are onto his business tactics, so that he chooses not to pillage the players over the off-season. I want us to enjoy a full off-season with OG with a full squad to start the next season sprinting out of the traps. I'm not a neg-head, I'm just old and mindful of what has happened before. This club needs SILVERWARE! It's a disgrace, our historical achievements compared to other teams. I want us to actually enjoy a decent season and a trophy, or two. COYP!

Parrish is NOT Noades who diverted club resources to his other ventures. Do not judge him that way.

He is cautious and mindful of two administrations in our not too distant past. He seeks to run the club sustainably hence the relatively limited transfer activity compared to other clubs. So far, we have not been fined under any financial rules. Given our relatively limited assets, that is a miracle in itself.

And on the Cup, success is extremely rare. We have had 2 attempts in a few decades. Outside the top 6, how many other clubs can boast that?

I don't think we need to go crazy on spending this summer, unless we sell some top players.

Competition for Mitchell, perhaps someone better suited to playing wing back. Another striker, since Edouard is not prolific enough. Another central defender, because our current cover is incapable of staying fit, and maybe another winger because there is too much of a drop off to Ayew if Olise is injured.

Our best signings would be to keep what we have.
