Yeh, I blame Simon Jordan for this. I was again reminded by Gary Neville that Palace have the worst record in 2016 of all 92 professional teams. That is pretty indefensible isn’t it? I am the first to roll my eyes at the new craze of sacking managers after 3 losses but this is bordering unprecedented in the Premier league. Villa had deadly Doug and we have fluffy Steve. Fluffy Steve is kind of a walking overreaction to the madness of Jordan, he is meek where Jordan was boisterous. He is placid and slow where Jordan was rash and reckless. Point is we need to be somewhere in the middle. Surely the yank investors must be wanting Pardew out, especially after he insulted them in an interview, so Parish now runs the risk of totally alienating the rich investors – not a great idea. Will we get the transfer money we need in January with Pardew still in charge? Sometimes in football it just stops working, there is no rhyme or reason (in Pardew’s case I could name a few) but sometimes you just have to make a change. I don’t think there is a single Premier league chairman who would have not fired the manager after the Swansea game, given the preceding months of dross? If we go down, and we are a long, long way from that, but if we do, Parish needs to go.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.

How anyone can criticise Parish is beyond me.What he's done for this club in the time he's been here is nothing short of miraculous.One of the best and most intelligent chairman in football today.If we was 10 points adrift at the bottom then yeah and I believe if we don't get one win out of the next four then Parish will have no choice. And he hardly insulted the investors, Parish explained how the other investors (not Harris and Blitzer) admitted at a meal/meeting that they didn't know much about the game and that's where that came from but the media jump on it and don't explain that side of it because obviously all they are interested in is a story and ruining people at the same time.Dont get me wrong I can't stand the s*** football at the moment and I've never liked Pardew and still don't but Parish is blameless in this.I think he's played it perfectly actually because he's given him plenty of time to turn it around but not to the point where we are deep in the s*** and that's why I think he'll give him four more games and that's it because if we don't win any of them then we will be on the verge of being totally in the s***.

It wasn't just the media as most HOL posters leapt on it and refused to believe that it was anything other than a direct insult to Harris and Blitzer

If he sticks with Pardew and we go down, I think one or two people might be of the opinion that he should have acted decisively earlier and replaced him. Personally, I think the light-bulb moment will be after the Watford game. Even if we get a result, it'll be too little, too late. Whatever happens, AP won't be here when 2017 dawns. Parish is not (I'm hoping and praying) that stupid.

Imagine if something clicks though and we go on a run like we started last season, people will be saying thank feck he stuck with him.Unlikely but so was Liecester winning the league.

Leicester winning the league is a 1 in a 100 year situation. Pardew is not the man anymore and but its already too late to salvage the January transfer window. Parish is loco for not firing AP after Swansea, just bonkers.

Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha.
