Agents are business men, Parish is a business man. Parish thought the last day he'd be in a stronger position to get terms he wanted. Agent thought otherwise. Deal off. Who won ? Clearly now we have no striker and niasse is knocking them in the agent did. We played poker and lost. Not sure I'd blame the agent for anything, but then i don't know what his demands were. Its pretty clear you leave business to the last days and hours then you might get a deal or you might be forced to pay up. Not sure you can blame an agent, we was the ones that left it to the last day / hours. Our fault.

Jordan was not a hero. People thought he was right for all of 5 minutes but it ultimately got him nowhere. Jordan and Crystal Palace can't change the industry. Jordan says he could have signed Cahill and he's right that he'd probably be enough for survival, or Dean Ashton would've been if it wasn't for Dario Gradi, advising him to go to Norwich, but I think it's from Millwall that Cahill's agent used us to flush out Everton into putting the money up. Having morals is admirable but in football it's wasted and may hurt.

Do we know what it was the the agent demanded? Would help to know why the deal was called off.

What a defeatist attitude it is that if your actions are unlikely to be successful in righting wrongs then you shouldn't even bother trying. I see nothing wrong in having principles and sticking to them

It's not agents ruining it it's money. Before long the top 6 or 7 clubs will completely break away. It is pretty much there now. Man City were at a different level to us on sarurday.

Our issues have nothing to do with and aren't the responsibility of the league. We're another club that's made poor choices and as a result of them added together may suffer relegation. The top 4 will still drop points this season. Arguably it's more exciting as 3 teams could win the league and 6 make top 4. Leicester won the league very recently. Anyone out of nearly 10 can go down. It's up to them to get their house in order.

I do. Each season I hope for a comfortable season and if you don't know, it makes it more possible to forward plan, which makes these fvck ups even more stupid and irresponsible.
