Originally posted by dorking One positive is that we looked a bit more solid in the Liverpool game, well in the first half at least. All the players playing 'out of position' is a concern, as is the perennial decision to not make all our signings until the end of August, effectively reducing our chances in the first few games as we 'make do' with what we have got. I'm not too convinced by FdB, but will give him 6-10 games to see what he can do, after that though, if we are still rock bottom, he's gotta go. You do wonder if Sammy Lee could do something, he must have a good idea about the defensive foundations upon which the team was built last season. 6/10 games very good of you. Best go and support the valiants. Palace 13th 2017/18.

I Got stick for vocally wanting Pardew out so I know what it's like but seriously if this is how you act after 2 league games then you really are barely a supporter. Support and get behind the team, if by the end of October we're bang in trouble then you can laugh and say I told you so, but reactions like this early on are literally embarrassing. The name "Nigel's" comes to mind. We're the Arthur over ere!

Imagine if Frank came onto these forums after being told by steve Parish that we have the best fans in England. I think we can safely say that title is well and truly gone. Bunch of spoilt over the top drama queens, get a f***ing hold of yourself. We're the Arthur over ere!

Your special brew drunken rants are a little premature. I'd wait until the window closes and we've played 2 of the next 3 league games. Until then you're polluting the forum with apoplectic noise. Good day. Yep. Rants based mostly on supposition and conjecture. Squad does remain a concern but having listened to the whole of SP's time on 5 Live yesterday I'm hopeful for the next couple of weeks. Originally posted by Stuart Shave And the biggest joke of course have to be the Palace 'fans' who seem intent on wanting to destroy and knock everything good the club tries to do. Of course nobody if this will turn out to be a good or bad appointment. The club clearly think it's a good idea that can continue building what Freedman actually started. For Christ's sake stop knocking the club, board, manager and chairman and let them get on with the job they managed to do pretty successfully so far. We are going through a transformation and it might hurt to start with, but at least give these people some kind of chance to make that extra bit of difference. The truth is none of us know anything about how to take Palace to the next step, our finances or how the club is run. From the outside it looks a very well run club. Just trust people to know what they're doing. Imangine doing your job and people knocking you with every bit of good you try to do for the company. Just shocking support this season. Get a grip. Hush now, there's no room round here for sense and patience! Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Sam Allerdyce was never for the long term.That in my opinion was the problem with appointing him. No disrespect to the man he did what he had to do. That has now left us in the same position as last summer with more money having been spent on players another manager felt he needed. Hoping that Dougie is a good appointment oversèeong all levels of the playing staff to be on the same wave length allowing the mamager to concentrate on the first team.

Originally posted by Croydonlad Fair enough Fish But that " we are Palace " mentality is getting really tiring We are a London club , been in the Premiership for 5 years We should be stable by now But no , every year is a big dipper ride , and our excuse is , " ahh but we are Palace " yes we are , a London club with a supporter catchment of 50 thousand plus . We deserve better from the club , much better !! I would guess there is 7 stable clubs in the Prem League. Everyone else is a bad season away from relegation. So no we shouldn't expect to be stable as you put it. What we should be doing is slowly pushing towards being more of a Stoke or WBA. Although this takes years and is basically the aim of all the other 12 clubs in the league as well. Also being a London club doesn't always help. You may have noticed we aren't the biggest fish in that Pond.

Ask Bolton about Sammy Lee as the manager then see if he could do something. Obviously a good coach but lets just leave him to that. People seem to think he is some sort of genius.

Sammy Lee has a history as a great assistant and a crap manager. He's failed everywhere he's tried, albeit that isn't many attempts.

Originally posted by Croydonlad Most already know about my thoughts on FDB and his ridiculous change of system without the p[layers to carry it out Now today we have the appointment of Dougie Freedman. I don't care about how he left the club back in 2012 , thats football and everyone is out for themselves , clubs and employees included What I DO CARE about is that this appointment of a VERY AVERAGE CHAMPIONSHIP manager has clearly been put in place so that Freedman can replace FDB when he fails , as he will do , probably before christmas time . The first few weeks speaks bucket loads of the ambition of Parish and the club . Clearly FDB was the only manager available that was going to accept the limited budget , and in doing so said that he wanted to change style . In not having funds definitely speeded up Big Sam's retirement and definitely left Tony Pulis feeling less than confident . So here we are , bottom of the table , a team in confusion , manager without a clue ,no transfer budget , and a sporting director who's managed a championship side for a season and half. What a joke This time next year , Freedman will be manager , we will be in the Championship . Your comments both on this and your previous critical post are either from a person who likes to wind people up or if you really believe all the c**p you are posting then I think you will be better off supporting moan u or Chelsea. Or maybe even Newcastle as your"skills" would be well suited Been to Anfield twice seen 14 goals and my team haven't scored any

You obviously have a great deal of experience, so what would you do if you were in Parishes position. Buying in loads of players isn't an option, as we have good players, they just need correct coaching.
