The positive side of this is that Roy Hodgson is a good and good judge of players

Bit childish to question if the bloke is a fan. He's entitled to his opinion.
I actually agree with him. Parish did save the club, So did the 3 other investors and Lloyds who agreed to do a deal on the freehold of Selhurst Park (you might need reminding CPFC2010 had no interest in saving the club unless they could get their hands on Selhurst).
Since then the club have done very well. You could say we have been lucky (to have been promoted so quick) and even luckier (to have stayed up and thrived). But Parish has made mistakes. Big ones. And he repeats those mistakes which is unforgivable in the unforgiving world of football/business. Are we not allowed to critise him because he was a quarter of an investment group that managed to purchase something very very cheap that had the potential to be worth ten times what they paid and is now worth probably 100 times what they paid.
Maybe there should be a time limit. Will it be alright to criticise him in say 10 years? or 100 maybe? or never?
You need to grow up mate. We are all flawed, all of us. You, me AND Steve Parish.

On the assumption he choose him, which is a popular theory by people with a grudge against Roy.

Yes, we were signing Adam Barrett etc when they bought the club.

Signing Zaha has been THE biggest master stroke. Not only has he played a big part in a handful of seasons but he’s a highly valued asset after all that as well. We’d be replacing Pulis’s players after 2-3 seasons but then I guess not purchasing Benteke or Sakho, if we survived to sign them. Parish’s mistakes are why we’re hamstrung right now. We’re very lucky we have AWB to sell, otherwise relegation is a bigger possibility, and/or selling Wilf more likely and sooner.

Like the current owners and US shareholders, we don’t get to choose who they are.

When SP and the remainder of the quartet acquired the club there was far more potential to slip into league one and as I recall we were bookies favourites for relegation the season we went up.

Every Chairman or CE makes bad decisions and SP’s good ones have hugely outweighed the bad. Eg buying Zaha rather than the Sh1t Pulis and his chronies would like to have saddled us with.

No one is beyond critcism but we have a simple choice as fans now whether we’d like a gamble on a foreign investor who could turn out to be anything or accept that the club be run as sustainable business by a fan but relegation will happen sooner rather than later.

Nicely put Zico, we are without doubt in a better position than ever before and SP has to take credit for that.
