He sanctioned the deals and the ridiculous wages given out. It's clear now that we should never have splashed so much money on Benteke, Sakho, Cabaye and others. Yes they were fantastic deals and got the fans behind him but it clearly wasn't good for the club. He banged on that the club was now been run properly and we wouldn't get into financial trouble again....? We have little money, an ageing squad and no where near enough cover. I'd say it's a massive gamble he's taking, to stay up this season and probably a few more without spending much.

They have signed Joelinton for a reported fee of £40 Mill. And haven't we just got £45 million for AWB?

I understand where you are coming from but it SP himself that said we must kick on and not stand still. No-one made him say that. I have always been a supporter of SP but he cannot be immune from some criticism

In previous windows I’ve been frustrated the team and managers haven’t had time to work together but now it’s inevitable (due to previous activity, strategies, or lack of), I’ve accepted it for what it was always going to be rather than kid myself for 2 and a half months. You are, unfortunately, absolutely correct and I do actually blame myself for getting my hopes up to begin with. After years of crap transfer windows with us leaving everything until the last minute I should know better. It’s like being in an abusive relationship, you keep going back hoping that they’ll change their ways but ultimately you’re kidding yourself.
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold... |

Once Newcastle complete the capture of Joelinton it leaves Palace as the only club in the Premiership not to have spent any money on new signings in this window Who have Wolves signed? I doubt you would be happy with the signings Norwich,Sheff Utd, Watford, Brighton and Villa have made.

Parish is as Parish does. He admitted on the FYP pod about a year ago that he truly believes you get better value for money if you wait until the last day of the transfer window! The leathery old meerkat ain’t changing now.
Trump lost. Badly. Hahahahahahaha. |

Perhaps that's true but you do miss out on many decent players who have gone to other clubs who are willing to buy the players that they want rather than spend so much haggling as if they were in a Moroccan souk. Parish spent weeks haggling over our two most expensive players before signing them at the nth hour at the selling club's original asking price

Really disappointed with the window so far, even if we manage a signing he will not be ready for the start of the season as there are only a couple of weeks to go. Still think the owners feel that we have “enough “ in the squad but the lack of goals in the pre-season suggests otherwise ! Plus we still need a right back.
