Ah you change your tune now. I cite a few players that Roy inherited (including a number of internationals) yet you say that Roy had a worse team than PV. Ha ha joker. Roy did well with what he had, I will say that, and I also think that what what Pulis did with what he had was next to miraculous, and personally I think he has been the best manager we have had in terms of getting the most out of what one has at one's disposal.
That huge investment you mention was necessary after the departure of those players out of contract. How many more times do I have to say this? Don't you get it? Roy didn't get that investment because either the money wasn't there, or if it was the board didn't feel it necessary to spend as Roy had inherited a good side that was in good health. And here we are again.
Have a nice evening.

No worries. If Palace go down we can be here discussing the cause till the cows come home, it won't change the fact that we've gone down. Therefore, hopefully, the players will realise that the time is now, and first up is a strong performance against Leicester. One game at a time.

google Roy Hodgson and Patrick Viera, look on Wikipedia at their management achievments, Hodgson was/is a superb manager, Viera is a joke manager, 300k spent in 4 years at Palace and Nice and sacked both times, a delusional fantasist, he and Roberts are so awful its beyond belief, almost every player is shot of fitness and confidence because of them, nobody else, them.

Agreed. That side of the game was entirely under their jurisdiction.

And we have Schlupp so we're fine.

Red and Blue Army!

Frankly said I'm fascinated for how long we have stayed 12th in the table regardles of performances and results. It's like this magical act, floating virgin or whatever you call it.
