Sad, but true.

So there's a rumour he alienated 3 players, weirdly all 3 who are not deemed good enough by the majority of Palace fans. Throwing their toys out of the pram because 3 PL players can't adapt to a system that actually requires a bit of thought and technical skill. Funny how 3 defenders of their ability seem to know so much more than a defender with the career of Franks. "Weirdo" was the word quoted, how completely and utterly pathetic does that sound? Poor millionaire players "awienated", bless em. Maybe the players need to man up a bit. Absolutely amazing times we live in when Martin Kelly can get Frank de Boer the sack.

Rumours are also Parish is a control freak and an ego maniac who went above his head in transfer dealings, refused to back him with his targets because he was assigning the majority of the budget to Sakho and then ironically telling him what tactics he should be implementing.

The above just goes to show the value of basing assumptions on rumours. All we can do is go by facts - and the fact is unless Frank de Boer tried to shag all of the players wives, Parish really has no excuse for getting rid of him in the period of time that he did, especially after the performance vs Burnley.

I thought I read some time back that Parish wanted to stick with signing an English manager, but the Americans had, had enough and wanted to sign a foreign manager. De Boer tried to change things to quickly, but as we all saw in the Burnley game things changed when playing to our strength of a back 4. We all know that depth of squad is our main problem. The three players mentioned apart from the last minute signing off Sakho these players were mainly in the squad if Dann was injured Tomkins or Delaney covered, there is no competiton for places, specially in Ward's place who do we have to cover Ward. Players like Campbell where allowed to leave the club without first covering that position. There are a number of players at the club that are not Premiership quality the likes of Lee, Mutch, etc surely they have a sell on value, depth of squad is the utmost importance.
