Pearson was a very stupid decision to make and at the most ridiculous time, yes they certainly did enjoy ruining everything with sacking people lol

CPFC2010 have sacked Burley, Warnock, Pardew and De Boer.
4 managers in a decade.

They sacked 4 in one season.

Sakho and Benteke were signed in positions we needed to strengthen.

I believe it was in 2014-15 that Watford had 4 managers but Oscar Garcia stood down for health reasons.

Someone posted an article yesterday on another threat. We have the 15th most expensively assembled squad in the league and the 15th biggest stadium. A low turnover in players coming and going has helped increase the wage budget.

Some fans and managers a like would like a magic money tree to piss up the wall on every player mentioned in transfer talk.

Repeating that the squad had £80m invested in the 6 months prior to Roy's arrival and the 9th biggest wage budget in the league, plus some excellent free tranfers he's not had it too badly at all.

The club is operating at its optimum level and pound for pound one of the best run clubs in England. Burnely are potentially the one club outperforming us without suger daddy investors or huge resources. Our stratetgy to improve the training facilities and academy, then expand the stadium is exactly the same as theirs. The only difference is they have a much better manager.

All this stuff about Parishes ego is just conjecture, and complaining about "the Americans" sounds very much like echoed rhetoric from Manchester United and Liverpool fans. All we know is the clubs is enjoying its longest run in the premier league and the finances are stable. I'm not sure what more you can ask for. A lot of Roy's supporters who blame the board are clearly basing their opinion on emotion and not fact.

None of this detracts from the fact that since Christmas the manager has drastically underperformed with the players he has available to him.

I wonder where we would be if it wasn't for the happy accident of having a young Wilfried Zaha in the development squad

Totally agree, people poo poo the thought of it, but might automatically reset the all the things going wrong, ie aging squad and players on silly money having to leave. The worst thing that could have happened is Villa staying up, and Leeds coming up, as they are large clubs with a winning mentality.2 teams I don't think happen to think, we will finish above this season. Had it been Bournemouth and Brentford, I think we might have had a better chance.
This season like last, will be a struggle without goals, and under Roys awful tactics, I cannot see us surviving again. We are a one trick pony team and every team is aware of this now. Wilf is barely recognisable from the player he was, partly down to tactics and partly down to attitude and the fact he wants out. He is niot a striker and never will be, neither is ayew. Batman will only get goals with service from the wings, not the sort of player to chas down or create his own chances. He will have nothing to feed off, its painful to watch, it really is. After Manure match, I thought wow, but then we revert back to piss poor tactics.
