Edited by EagleAlan78 (03 Oct 2023 11.40am) Edited by EagleAlan78 (03 Oct 2023 11.44am) You've got a real problem with Parish don't you? Nearly every topic you start and comment on is anti-Parish, yet you never come up with anything, not one single thing, about what you would have done differently or what the club could have done. Personally, I couldn't care less if Parish is the chairman or not, all I ask for is someone who won't run this club into the ground again. We've nearly disappeared twice when we've spent more than what we've got and spending 100 mill you don't have can backfire massively if that player breaks his leg first time on the pitch for us. Alright, say you get your way and Parish goes "f* this, EagleAlan78 is right, I'm off to spend my days in the Cayman Islands" what then? You think that Textor will step up? You think the yanks who have made it clear they would f* off to another club at a moments notice will suddenly go hoo-f*ing-ray and stick a few billion in? I think you're completely missing the f*ing point, it's not about anyone being tight, it's about having the money there to be tight with it in the first place, if we don't have it, we can't spend it. With the money we do have we've bought in Eze, Olise, Anderson, Guéhi, Lerma who've all turned out to be excellent players that we've scouted out and bought/signed on budget. But I'm all ears EagleAlan78, what's your master plan with the money that we have, to bolster the squad? I think we definitely need a striker and two fullbacks as well as cover in nearly every part of the squad, how do we do that without a sh!t ton of cash in the bank? The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots

I prefer to see it as him being a manager who is up for the challenge. Whereas Big Sam, Pullis and I dare say others, have been told: 'We want you but you'll have no money to spend' and have turned and run.

What Roy has achieved with us, given the resources, is a mini - miracle in my opinion and all you can do is malign him with that tag. Ugh! Roy is a Palace man since his childhood and wants to do the job required for the club but you decide to club him with the 'Yes man' tag.

Some of you need to get a grip, until someone comes in with a billion in the bank and a desire to build the club up, we are what we are, we're at the financial level that we're at, and having a chairman with pie in the sky ideas and no way to do it has landed us in administration twice.

I do understand fan frustration when sometimes it feels like we are standing still but people really do have short memories. Ten years ago to be where we are right now was not just a dream. It was a fantasy that opposition fans would have laughed at.

Textor has already said it. Parish is too f***ng stubborn to realise that what he is doing wont work for much longer trying to run the club on a shoestring budget with no depth in the squad.

Textor has already said it. Parish is too f**ng stubborn to realise that what he is doing wont work for much longer trying to run the club on a shoestring budget with no depth in the squad. You know, if someone came to the club with a billion in the bank and said "Parish, get out and don't let the door hit you on the arse on the way" and that person had the club's best interests at heart, I'd be the first one there waving Parish off. Thing is that I don't think Parish is the problem. The yanks aren't up for owning a club outright, they're purely in it for the money and the thought of being outright owners I've no doubt repulses them. So that leaves Textor and the bottom line is that I just don't trust him. A really quick Google search doesn't shine him in the best light with his approach to multi-club ownership, the way he treats those at the club, and the way he runs the club. For example: Lyon - Currently under sanctions from the French Football Federation and having to sell up their better players on the cheap due to the way the club's been run financially. [Link] [Link] Botafogo - Textor receiving death threats and fan protests after selling off one of their best players to, incidentally, Lyon. [Link] Molenbeek - Sacks entire management team five days before the season starts and it emerges that he put pressure on the coaches to play certain players or he'd start breaking contracts. [Link] And this article from the FT.com, that explains that Textor's business model is to get young players and then sell them off for profit, thereby generating more money for the investors, not necessarily the club (if it's in the FT, then it's not aimed at the likes of us is it?). [Link] So do you feel happy with this person having a controlling interest in the team? I don't think it would be a leap of imagination to see him selling off Palace players to make money to keep Lyon afloat and then suddenly our fortunes are intertwined with teams in other leagues, in other countries, how they are doing on the pitch, and more importantly, financially. If Parish has spotted this (and I'm not a canny businessman nor a millionaire and I can spot it) then this is probably why he's being a pain in the backside to Textor and not letting him have his own way. Can't see Textor working to keep Olise, Eze, Doucouré, or Guéhi in the last transfer window with his mindset, let alone offering Wilf a lucrative deal to stay. So whilst you might think people are sucking Parish's c* on here, perhaps it's better than the devil's tit...

Just another thing about Textor, he also owns French League 1 club Lyon who currently sit rock bottom of the league, he hasn't poured cash into their coffers either....in fact he sold some of their better players.
