We can't change history sadly.
Pardew stayed too long and whilst there did untold damage in many ways - buying some real dross on good money and long contracts, breaking up the old squad way too quickly and much more.
SP allowed it to happen and that 22 month period - which had its highs one must add - is mainly why we are where we are now.
No striker right now must give the opposition deep joy when they see our team sheet - this is also unforgiveable at Prem level.
Shame one of our seven - yes seven - centre backs can't play up front - another huge error.
Not ditching dross in the Summer regardless of the cost to us was silly as well - if we had underwritten his move Mutch would be elsewhere now and he is just one example.
Roy Hodgson was never the answer either - and no - I can't think who might have been - I just know it wasn't/isn't him but I so hope he proves me wrong!
What a mess and no need to be in it - you just couldn't make it up and even a win on Saturday will only paper over the cracks.
The Club is in trouble from top to bottom right now and if SP and Roy can sort this out then they are Supermen!

Explain to me why I should come up with an aternative chairman, how the fcuk dhoukd I know ? I don't move in those circles, im guessing you don't either.

The facts are oyr current chairman has proved himself to be incompatent in the transger market, and all the promise of ground improvements have amounted to a lick of paint and some fancy lights. We are going to get relagated and ultimately the blame lays at his door.

I raised this issue some time ago...as CEO he is being paid £650pa, if he was subject to usual employee performance measurement, would he still be in a job ??

I'm sorry, but i guess we have to disagree, what Parish has done in the past which is nearly seven years ago was great but since we have been in PL he has learnt nothing, he still dithers over important decisions, lets everything go down to the wire has overseen 8 managers in five seasons, has given us just 27 home PL wins out of 80 games played, has allowed us to go in to this season with one striker when he knew CW was never going to be fit until at least 2018, then there is thelack of team strengthening in the last transfer window when it was obvious from the back end of last season unless we invested in better players then we were always going to struggle with the squad we currently have. then there is the more than our fair share of players transfers that he has approved who have questionable medical histories (Sako/Tomkins as examples). The American investors where also his doing, he brokered the deal, so if they are not right then that is also down to him. He then appoints Freedman as Sports Director, when he has no experience of such a position, need I go on, clearly he has lost the plot and any good he done in the past is just that, it is the future that counts and right now he is overseeing our biggest loss in revenue in our history if we are relegated!

Teams want to replicate our club? Really? After the last 2 years of errors and in particular this summer? Last I heard Parish wants us to be the next Southampton, and some of us, me included, thought we should and could be like West Brom or Stoke. (Some thought Fulham but they were a Harrods toy)

That will be in the championship if they do.
