A takeover will be easier said than done as I can't see many billionaires agreeing to Parish's terms as no doubt he will want to retain a significant minority stake and to continue to run the club

Is this the same crippling wage bill that Parish agreed to pay? But now bemoans.

we have a squad that finished mid table bar AWB...that doesn't mean we are f***ed, far from it...its bed wetting at its finest.

if you think a 2mil pound investment in the team so far this window is going to keep us up then you are being unrealistic about the quality of our squad!

Totally agree. As I said in a previous post, maybe SP is too much of a fan and will not let go of his club.

I'm not so sure as I think that if he was "too much of a fan" he would sell the club to someone who could actually take it forward"

Personally I think that he enjoys the limelight too much and doesn't want to go back to just being a nobody - albeit a rich nobody

For me this last 2/3 windows have become a complete JOKE. What in heavens name is SP now doing to our club?

Apart from Spurs last year who didn't invest yet finished third, CL runners up and have a shiny new stadium, the last club who tried it were Sunderland and look where those overpaid players took them. I can't see Parrish/Freedman signing the players we need especially when we're bidding 20% below clubs valuations and then moving to the next target to do it again and again. Levy has shown us how to run a club and our spiv is showing us how not to.

yes...i think we have enough with what we currently have to stay up.

it wont be enough to maintain 11th place, more than likely 14th or 15th.

i want to see signings at the club, but not just token signings to please fans, they have to be clever signings like meyer last season.

if we are offering £25m for reece james at chelsea, personally i feel we should be channelling our energy into purchasing ryan sessengon from fulham to allow wilf to take up a role further infield...he will turn a decent profit in a few years time.

The thing that concerns me is that going into our 7th consecutive season in the Premier League ( which I willingly admit is no mean achievement) our stature and reputation as a club has not really grown in that time in the way it should have.

Our stadium hasn't improved, we start the season again as one of the favourites to be relegated, players don't seem over keen to come to Selhurst, there doesn't seem any coherent plan or strategy for the club in terms of squad development and recruitment.

We may survive another season but we really are skating on this ice.

If he's that much of a fan why has he let this scenario transpire again?

Pre - season done now AWB sold for 50M 5+ weeks ago, still no signings of any note so know chance for RH to work with new signings and integrate them into the team.

So we're now back to the walls with 5 days before the transfer window shuts operating in the final days of the "Sales" allegedly trying to sign 4 or 5 players from what's left on the "racks"..!!

It ain't just this window - it's every bl@@dy window - same story.

Look I think we will sign 4 most likely;

Aguilar
Cahill
Camarasa
Watkins

Then keep Wilf..

But once again going into the first game we are undercooked following pre - season, meaning again we'll struggle early season be in the relegation mire again come October/November - whilst RH and RL work desperately to get the new signings integrated and work out our best team, format and style of play..

Then as before we'll hit some form with some hiccups along the way and probably finish lower half of mid table again - we'll all be happy having secured Prem status again despite once again going through the preverbial rinser early season.

So my question is if SP is such a fan why does he keep making the same mistakes.

My view is that SP is a fan yes - but loves the limelight more of being "the Big Cheese" at a Prem club without necessarily the financial resources to back it up - hence the Americans got/are getting disillusioned and SP is struggling to find other buyers/investors wit the insistence he remains at the helm.

IMO until this is sorted the status quo will remain.
