Ok so if you dont get rid of the deadwood, you still have to pay their wages dont you? Maybe SP has a bottomless pit of cash that he can use to pay off their contracts or their wages while still complying with FFP
Easy to say pay off contracts when its not your money isnt it?

You release them just pay off the rest of contract that would free up a spot and wages or if the players wages are too high for other clubs interested you cut deal to pay part of the wage.

Parish inexperience is what is hindering the club he should just be owner and let others who know what they are doing run the club the guys too hands on

It is not uncommon in any walk of life to negotiate an ending of a contract by mutual consent, yes it will cost you money but you can write that cost off in the books straightaway and it only effects the accounts for that accounting period. Then you can start from scratch, we are not saying its easy but it is possible and happens all the time!

you have got your posts mixed up with different subscribers on this thread, Parish has to be indirectly responsible for everything that happens at the club as he is the current Chairman and leader. The poor home form is due in the main to having far to many managers in the period, playing different system and players in various positions that often do not suite them. Consistency in Management will produce better results as the player are settled, know the system and perform much better. Steve Parish is responsible for Management appointments, so if they do not work out then it is him and him alone who has made the wrong choice. He also dabbles in deciding the style of football he wants to see which is often not matched by the money available to get the players who can play that way. The same can be said about transfers he finds decision making hard, he prevaricates far too much over decisions and we often lose out because he cannot make his mind up quick enough or we run out of time. The time taken to appoint the current manager was madness and in the end we were restricted to what was left available rather than having a choice of the best available. I cannot tell who should replace him as I'm just a concerned fan, I do not have any shareholding and it is only the club directors and shareholders who can decide who their next leader should be.

So let's get this right we have a player like sako who is on 2.5 mill a year and a current wage bill of 85 million.

Firstly as a commodity we would value him at maybe 10 mill, so paying up his contract you've already lost 10 million on top of 2.5 mill a year over 2 years that's potentially 15 you've lost there.

okay no one will buy him his now worth zero but costs us 2.5 million a year, let's buy his contract up at once. Obviously as it's upfront as a lump sum we will offer the half amount of his full contract so now he only has to find a club willing to pay him 25k a week over the next 2 years to see him no worse off. If this happens we have saved ourselves 2.5 million over 2 years but have still hit our transfer budget of 85 million this year.

So that's cost us 2.5 million, weve still got a budget of 85 million and a like for like replacement takes it straight upto 87.5 without a transfer fee.

Parish has no chance with fans like you who seem to think we have an open cheque book. Yeah great we get a gaurenteed 100 million a year from sky, not really that much when 85% goes straight on players wages.

Managers that don't work out are his fault. No problem with that. Now tell me who are the ones that didn't work out? Ollie got us up, then quit when he couldn't handle it. Pulis walked out. Pardew worked for a while then went tits up, so Parish at fault, no problem. Sam retired, totally unexpectedly. FdB we don't know yet. Our home form has been crap since we came back up and bar a handful of games we've played the same soak it up counter attack style regardless of manager.
Telling people how they should play? I'll pass on that, I have no proof he's ever done that. He wants us to play a better brand of football, I agree, I would like that too. I assume that's why he went for FdB?
I actually don't know him like you so I do not know if he finds decision making hard or prevaricates over transfers. I thought he took too long to appoint a new manager, but again I don't know why. I could jump to some conclusions, but what really is the point?
Would be interesting to see if we could appoint a new chairman and see what would happen, I'm not totally against it.
Thing is I keep thinking Charlton went down this road and they found out, boy did they find out.
Better the devil you know?
Really not sure cos I haven't got any facts to base my decision on. This is not me being flippant I really don't know what's best.
