Some of those names are a bit unfair. Patrick Bamford was the leading goalscorer in the Championship and we all welcomed his signing on loan for the year as none of us forsaw the difficulty he would have in stepping up a grade.

Loic Remy could well have been an inspired signing but you can't blame Pardew for the fact that he suffered injuries before he even kicked a ball in anger.

Mandanda was another that everyone claimed was an excellent signing yet when it turns out that he wasn't quite as good as we all thought it now becomes Pardew's fault.

I'm no fan of Pardew but some of the criticism is plain daft

Agreed, you had to listen to the interview to get the context.

There are many on here, looking to pick out pieces to fit their agendas to rubbish Parrish and Pardew.

We are lucky to have a Chairman of his quality, but don't underestimate him, you don't get to that position without being ruthless when required.

A bit off topic but did anyone see Ian Wright on Good Morning Britain this morning?

Piers Morgan was fawning all over him and asked him which football match he'd like to repeat. Wright started talking about the FA Cup Final and just as Piers was about to gush a bit more about Arsenal he said he was talking about the 1990 Cup Final for Palace!

Wright basically wanted to re-write history and go back and win that final for Palace. Quite nice words really!

Thought I'd get some stick on here for including the goalkeeper, but he hasn't been all that has he?

There were others I was going to add to the list, but maybe 'mediocre' would be a better heading.

They include: Connor Wickham (so good we loaned-in Adebayor); Chungy (gets props for retaining the ball, but all he does is knock it backwards) Cabaye (surely £10m could have been spent better?) Jonathan Benteke (as a condition of his brother coming. Embarrassing).

Steve Parish is a smart Man and he obviously wants Pardew to succeed as we all do - even if I think he is doing a bad job right now.
He is not going to go on the radio and slate him is he.
I feel sure that a good result against Hull and better showings against United and Chelsea will see AP safe.
But - a loss at Hull on Saturday and the same in the following games would see Pardew gone - despite everything Parish said today - that would be one win in ten!
No one is safe but they have invested in AP and so I guess they want to let him see it through - a mistake in my eyes but as I don't own the Club that is irrelevant!

I agree with this - reminds me of how he was on the radio every other week during the first half of last season saying we were in contention for Europe. Pardew isn't out of the woods yet and Parish might still have a big decision to make very soon.

I appreciate Parish as a chairman, and he's pretty good with the media generally, but he does get ahead of himself.
