with parish. yes it needed a new thread, yes it made me feel better. after a 1200 mile trek running away from Irma, my cuz texts me withthe bad news. i have never criticized parish before now, but he has totally lost the plot.

My initial reaction was the same . I have however now calmed down and can only think FDB had to go ,he was a dead man walking so to speak and it was only a matter of time . The rumours say he was not liked by either the players , chairman or the board ,the only allies he had at the club were those he brought in . In short he wasn't Palace .

Parish should take some credit for acting before the rot set in and the place began to stink .He knew he would take some flack so fair play to him .

The choice of Roy Hodgson is a safe one as long as he has some decent coaches around him we will be OK

The season starts now , COYP

I see that you're from the school of thought that there are only two opinions on any subject - yours and wrong ones

I don't get this 'he's not Palace'. I've heard this used against Benteke, Hennessey, Chamakh, Townsend and a host of other players.

Yes, Parish may have 'stopped the rot' early but there were other things that need addressing. The farce of the transfer window which leads onto this publicised promise of funds to allow de Boer to play his style, the whole interview process (with the quoted short list of 37) and why de Boer was not informed straight that Burnley result was of no import to the inevitable sacking.

Let us hope Roy Hodgeson is these 'safe pair of hands'.

A little confusion with your post here fish bone. Everybody could indeed see the improvement in the performance of the team at Burnley. But it was with a system imposed on FdB by a worried board, confused players and frustrated fans. Everyone was saying Palace must play the Palace way with the players available, and so the players did.
But still it is a shame that Palace have to restart the season with a different boss, another imposed style of play and more questions than answers, again.
But where your point falls down fishbone, is the remark about not liking the new man. You're doing exactly what you have accused others of doing with FdB, passing judgement on a man before he had a chance to prove himself. Such muddled, panicky thinking has put Palace into this ludicrous position.
