How do you know he undermines everyone? It's hinted out by lots that have left the club, that he is a control freak, That can work in business but not football

His transfer dealings are abysmal?

Who signed, Zaha, Andros, Luka, Sakho, Dann, Tomkins, Papa, Cabaye, McArthur, Benteke ?

Who signed, Adebayor, Flamini, Bamford Campbell, Mutch, PVA, lee, Sako, Delaney (Renewed) Ince, And don't forget he sold Zaha

It's funny how we blame the chairman for all the bad signings and forget the good ones. I blame the Chairman for being where we are the buck stops with him, Great Guy awful chairman

And don't forget he is the reason we are where we are with the shortage of a second striker and a poor goalkeeping choice. Total mis management at the highest level

Palace have a player playing in a World Cup final tomorrow, I guess thats another shocking abysmal signing he made.

Sorry i forget we only talk about the bad signings right. Sorry i forgot he saved the club some years ago? does he live on that history forever?

But really who are the abysmal signings you refer to? or have i miss interpreted your post and its more to do with his dealing with agents that you find abysmal?

We bemoan average players being on huge wages and then curse that we didn't sign someone who was holding us to ransom. 8th highest wage bill in the premier and bottom of the league might give you a hint

What exactly has Wrighty done?

Ian Wright is a Judas who supports Palace when it suits him. He celebrated when he sent us down, claims to also support Milwall among other things. Its ok though becuase he is Parish mate. Where would Mark Bright be if not for SP? Probably in the dole que.

Now nearly all of those, correct me if i'm wrong were Pardew signings.

But we blame the chairman, why? I thought we wanted a chairman who backed the manager? Unless of course he's buying a bad player and then what he should block the transfer. So we don't want a chairman to back the manager and take a back seat? Or do we ?

Sounds like we want our cake and to eat it.

Anyway the point is proven that we can right a list of the bad players signed and bash the chairman with it all we want.

As if other clubs don't sign bad players.

Ten players, two of which were loans, one of which was a 12 month short term contract, one of which was a 12 month contract extension to a player whos well respected in the dressing room.

Oh and I'm sure if the list was written a few weeks back PVA would'nt have been included.

So really imo i don't think he's such a bad track record.

Goldfinger I respect your opinion and we could go on all night, We could both quote players bought and sold from Holloway onwards, and don't get me on his choice of managers Warnock included. Lets agree to disagree, In my opinion he is the catalyst of our misfortune

"In my opinion he is the catalyst of our misfortune"

In your opinion, is he not also the catalyst of the survival of the club, our promotion to the Premier League, our second FA Cup final appearance, and our five years of Premier League football?

Or is that due to something else, and only the bad stuff is down to him?
