I think the decision is quite easy, if Roy’s keen and nobody better is available keep Roy for another year. Listen to the players talk about Roy and the culture and freedom to express themselves it sounds like a very happy camp from older players like Wardy ro younger ones like Eze. It gives us another season of stability (maybe Roy will even take the hand break off for a season which would surely be his last lol), another season of development for our good youngsters whether that be on loan or in the 25 as I can’t see any of them are quite ready to break into the match day squad. Then hand over to someone younger next season. Also Paddy is there to develop as a first team coach and will be an easy link to the academy and youngsters. Squad wise we really just need a striker I would spend whatever money with have getting one in. For what it’s worth I like Gyokeres, holds it up, runs the channels and got a goal in him. I feel like even if he doesn’t score 10 goals he will be an asset to the team and bring other forward players into the game. This is the problem with our current strikers they do none of these 3 things. We need a right back and a replacement for Wilf but maybe can cope for a season without either or use the loan market again for a season) With regards to this season the teams coming up are weaker than last season so we shouldn’t be relegated, with one or two decent signings and not losing anyone we may be able to kick on a little. However for me, while £100 million is apparently ring fenced for the new stand, staying 12-15 and not being in relegation stress in the last 3 games is ok. Listen to Parish it’s pretty much what he always says. Moving forward I think he’ll get the new stand built, sell a gem or two from the academy or first team for a decent profit and sell up with legacy in tact and a few quid for his troubles. Then maybe we can attempt this next level with a bigger match day income and effective academy producing the occasional first team player every 1/2 years. Or selling to the football league at a healthy profit circa O’brien at the moment. Up the palace!

The end result is a very sensible bit of commentary and I commend you.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |

Yes, a long but refreshing change from the standard divorced from reality posts demanding Parish get his cheque book out, 11 seasons in the top flight and why are we not pushing on, we completely lack ambition and so on and so on [repeat to fade]...

What u on about on every report I’ve read it says it’s for another 12 months? If it’s regarding Hodgson don’t want him for another 12 months. We should be getting someone in that can do better than Hodgson. There is plenty out there. We should be challenging top 8 at least by now. The fact we have made no league progress is embarrassing. The reason I say what I say about parish is he has no ambition or definitely hasn’t proved he had any ambition it is very clear unless your head is buried in the sand which I know some of our fans are. Edited by EagleAlan78 (23 Jun 2023 12.06am) Why don't you put your money where your never ceasing mouth is and buy 25% of the club? You're like someone who has a couple of beers in a pub and a acts like he owns it. Can you not understand we don't have the financial muscle to become a club that will for example challenge for Europe on a regular basis.
Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance. |

It's only 6 weeks or so until the first game, whether we keep Roy or get someone new, surely that situation and the Zaha situation need to be wrapped up within a week or we're going to be at a huge disadvantage in terms of preparation? It's been over 3 months since we sacked Vieira, I don't get how it's taking this long to line someone up.

My take on it (for what it's worth) is: Total conjecture on my part and living up to my pseudonym of Doombear.

My take is that Roy has agreed to do another year in the event that the club don’t land anybody else. I posted this on here a few weeks ago. This theory was also reported in todays Times. Probably just guesswork on both our parts !

Probably,Roy is one of few people who has the maturity and personality in general to deal with Parish,who many potential applicants have apparently walked away from.
