Many haven't been supporters long enough

I think you'll find many of us providing constructive criticism have been supporting for a long time and it's because we know how precious prem status is. We know we're not as likely to bounce back and our stay back in the championship could be a decade. What happens to the new stand then? What happens if it is built and we're running at a loss? It's the Americans' loss until we bounce back but these things are taken a bit lightly when such things as a 2nd striker and lack of keeper back up are easily excused, and being repeated mistakes.

Just respect football people who are presumably respected when hired.

no you haven't Parish is the issue with the ones who complain,you want parish out but cant say who will take his place, we all all know what we want but we are not the ones funding it,

so who is going to change things to everyone that complains ,none of yous have come up with a name,as i said he is not a player we can sell,he helps to bank roll the club, we dont see the books, we dont see whats going on behind the scenes,so its blind judgement,you dont have a full picture so unless you can prove different and i mean with real proof, not my neighbors aunt uncle best mate said,

yes i would like to see us signing everyone i want,but real world we cant, We are a big club in the waiting but need major money to get up there, so ground improvements is a major start getting a manager in we wont sack tomorrow or leave because we cant fund what they want or fans who cant wait to see them improve the team because they dont like them,

i think i have covered most things have headache now, but if anyone can come up with better ways to fund the club,sure parish&co would be interested along with the rest of us

I agree on the striker situation Rudy, unsure about the keeprs as for all I know Henry may be ready for PL action. What is the point of any youth develepmont if beforehand we exclude the option of actually playing them?

And how do we know it's SP that made all the cock ups? How are we to know if SA's, FdB and Roy's "lists" of players wanted were realistic and achievable? Is it SP's fault that noone in the whole club structure seems able to scout a decent lower League or lesser know international player? I feel there is a lot of assumption in asiging the blame. Having said that I felt the squad was thin when the season started and surely is not better after the window so I get people's frustration. It's just that I feel it's only partly SP's fault, and I see little proof he is actually pulling all the strings on "football matters".

I think that the argument is slightly more nuanced than that. The question is whether he is the man to take us forward, not whether he has made mistakes. He has made plenty, show mw a chairman that hasn't.

As you say, many would tip us to finish 9-13th (which is interesting given the criticism of our transfer windows. We are currently 15th, 4 points of 10th, not exactly off target.

Five points between 10th and relegation places. Teams down there include Stoke, 10 yrs in the Prem,Swansea 7 yrs and West Brom 8 yrs. Two of those teams have recently been taken over. Huw Jenkins was viewed as the model chairman. Also in a current relegation place are Southampton. The club everyone should mimic, the cub that is the template for PL success.

same things being repeated over and over again, not one person who complains about parish has come up with a alternative or put there millions into the club to buy him out.
Parish is no different to any other chairman balancing the books is a must, we are starting work hopefully on new stand that is a must, and tidying up other parts of the ground and training ground.
Parish is not a footballer we can sell on and replace, he would cost alot more to replace,so unless you can think of someone to take over, stop complaining about him, because if the yanks didnt rate him he would have been gone by now
