Look at the pictures of him and watch him on the touchline and its not a good picture.
I dont know about you, but my ST at Selhurst is safely under cover in the AW. Would I want to be out in the rain getting soaked on the touchline at 70+? No way. Travelling up North to some god awful city on a regular basis?
If he is doing it for fun, then he needs to come and spend some time with me if he has got some cash and I'll show him a very different experience!!
I hope you are right, but something tells me he is keeping his head down not getting confrontational, because he knows what will happen if he does, and doing what he can for us within the confines of our regime.
I hope I am wrong, but the thought has crossed my mind more than once.
I see Ranieri (67) has just joined Fulham.
These guys are suckers for punishment. But lets see where they go now. And dont forget they are below us

When Roy got sacked by England he received a pay off, i don't remember how much it was,but i thing it was around 2M

Are you happy with the recruitment of players and back room staff?Ex Palace players with zero experience. Roy has now brought his own man in. Does that give a hint?

How about how we cannot spot any talent outside of the Prem, unless someone else has had an eye on Luka or Souare. Pardew was manager and Newcastle had close contact with agents in France so we know how Souare happened.

The scouting is p1ss poor, sometimes the players aren’t what the manager wants or are good enough but do not fit the manager’s style. We then go through managers like a box of matches because we’re going round in circles correcting the circle of errors, yet it’s costing fortunes and creatiya problem further down the line, probably now. And you think it’s being run well? We’re here because we’re spending a lot of money with a wage bill in the top 8 or something. That’s not being run well, that’s just spending loads to remain because we’re not being run well.


Tbf, we have had 3 managers walk out in 6 seasons. Warnock, Pardew and FdB have correctly been given the boot. I think (apart from Warnock and Hodgson, Parish has thought about stability but it hasn’t work out. This happens with most teams, not just us.

I do agree that our scouting system is not great outside the prem, but I think this is the case for most teams. Only scouting system imo in order is Leicester. Everton have wasted loads of money. Fulham have just spent 100m. West Ham seem to be doing ok, but still spent over 100m. They also spent 10m on Hugil last season who was linked with us and has since be loaned back to the Championship. Newcastle’s french bubble seems to have burst. Huddersfield 50+ million looks like a waste.

I think we spent a lot of money becuase Parish backed Pardew and Big Sam. Regrettably a mistake or a gamble to try and stay in the Prem.

I’m not saying Parish is the best chairman in the world. But I do believe he is doing a good job and I prefer him being at the wheel instead of rolling the dice on a different owner.

Pape was already on our radar when Warnock was temporary manager, during the summer transfer window before Pardew took over, but Lille weren't prepared to let him go at that time. Personally I wouldn't give Pardew any credit for us signing Pape Souare,although enjoyed watching him play very much.
