Problem being that he’s as much use as one of the street lights one of our new banners is hanging from.

Have always had plenty of time for Parish but I'm still not satisfied with his points regarding transfers.

By and large we're hardly a greedy bunch and merely want the VERY obvious holes in the squad addressed, particularly those, such as a new striker, which haven't been fixed for a long time.

The notion that we don't want to block the paths of youngsters to the first team is a complete cop out excuse as well. Between that, suggesting the fans are unrealistic and lamenting the transfer climate it feels as though he is absolving the club of all responsibility for recent transfer failings.

I genuinely have no desire to spunk tens of millions on expensive, glamour players as it's proven to be likely to fail. In fact I was as excited about getting Ferguson and Bowen from the Championship as I have been about any other recent transfers.

However, we can all see on a weekly basis that this is an aging, injury prone squad that is running out of ideas and I don't think it's too much to ask for there to be a bit of investment here and there to help that. If we do stay up this summer, new faces are absolutely vital because we won't survive another campaign like this.

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

Let's splash the cash - £5.2M of it. - on offering a year's extension for Benteke instead then.

Looks like he's offering RH an extension before we've guaranteed our survival for next year - so that's the Pardew lesson well & truly learned then

I think Roy has done a fantastic job and for one Im absolutely delighted he has been offered and apparently accepted a further year at the helm .
Parish is the best chairman this club has ever had and was buoyed with his words of encouragement on the way forward ,on the academy ,buying the car park and most importantly his stubborn refusal to ever let this marvellous football club to fall into debt .

Well done to all the management at the club . (I still don't know what the purpose of involving the yanks was/is though)

Not sure how many of us can take another season of watching Palace under Roy as the style of play is dire and totally antiquated, how I stay awake when watching our games I do not know.

Must be those nice comfy seats as well Willo. Just get somebody to blast an airhorn in your ear that should keep you awake
