I guess time will tell if he is a great Chairman or not, but as it stands this is our 5th year in the top flight and no one can take that away from him. As for selling to the Americans, all of the top Premiership clubs have overseas owners, so there is nothing new there. It's all a working progress for us and who knows where we will end up...

Jesus, read the papers, watch their interviews. I'm not doing it all for you. Ignorance isn't as blissful as you think it is.
Show me the interview, where Sam has said that he left because of transfers. In fact off the top of my head, Big Sam referred to the board as "backing him big time" with upward of 36m in transfers and also stated, "I have to thank them for that". That was from an interview that he did for sky after he had left us. So your conclusion after reading all the reports and interviews is more about what you think or wanted to want to have happened, than what has actually been stated by all parties and then you present your conclusion as both managers facing the same non-existent problem. I'm sure there were problems but your analysis of the situation is not only speculation on your part but wholly inaccurate. And yet, you blog about Palace...

I think Sam's words in the interview were something along the lines of: I have to thank them as I've never been at a club where we topped the spending in a transfer window. Refering to the £30+m spent in Jan.

Our great chairman considering sacking de Boer after 4 games. Let that sink in. So he can't win? You say he's made a mistake and should dump FdB, but if he admits the mistake and does just that, you'll use it as a stick to beat him with.

You also claim that he held the club back by selling it but holding on to the freehold. More fool Mark Goldberg for buying it on that basis You finished with one of your typical snidey comments "But for some reason you think he was our best chairman?" but if you read the post properly you will see that he was referring to success under Noades not whether or not he was our best Chairman and there is no doubt that the Noades era was our golden era I do. I think the bloke was an utter c*nt. Had zero regard for the fans or the club itself other than to use it as vehicle to make money. He was bloody good at that as well. If Parish were to sell our best players then have the nerve to turn up in a brand spanking new Bentley continental the next day, people would be baying for his blood. That's exactly what Noades did.

I think it's the right decision to relieve him of his duties but if the paper reports are accurate, it was Steve who wanted a new style. Surely you want your chairman to learn from past mistakes.

Totally agree with every word. He didn't have to put up with social media, scrutinising every little details, he just took what he wanted.

Yeah he absolutely crucified our club when we had our big opportunity and people still talk about him positively. Parish on the other hand does absolutely everything that we've all been crying out for forever by buying superstar players and not selling all of our players to the highest bidder and yet he still gets slaughtered. Ridiculous.

There is an alternative though and that is for the chairman to tell the manager that his style isn't working and to ask him to revert to the style of play that we know.

Personally think there's nothin wrong with Parish still wanting the club to evolve. And picking a manger he EXPECTS could achieve it better than Pards. Day one frank said it would be evolution not revolution. The fact this was said so publicly tells me that the plan was for a slow change. And that's what Parish thought he was signing up to. Personally feel this is why Parish is fumming and feels let and down and would be within his rights to call a hault to it. I don't think he looses face and to say well Parish knew what he was getting is a little unfair if those discussions had been along the lines of it being a slow process once points were on the board. In summary I think people are quick to paint it black and white. My view is if Frank is unable to take his time and rain things in then Parish will wield the axe and rightly so. Does that mean he got it wrong? No it means Frank agree to something and then went about doing the opposite. I'm pleased Parish is trying to move the club forward even if it hasn't yet worked out. Final note is I'd like Frank to get his head out his arse and play to our strengthens until we've got points and confidence, as he could still turn out to be a great manager for us.

Surely if that the case then parish may aswell take over. It's like me telling Gordon Ramsey how to cook. He'd feel even more undermined.
