Ridiculous comment

Not moaning about football would be indicative of not caring TBH.

If you are a true fan than football or Palace is a massive part of your life and comments regarding poor transfer activity and not moving forward are very just even if people do post rage filled comments where their anger can haze over the genuine concerns they have.

We have been without a PL quality GK since Mandana went into hiding which was so long ago I cannot remember when it was & one fit striker is pathetic at any level wether it be Christian Benteke or Calvin Andrew!

I'm forever grateful with where we have come in the last 7 or so years and will always be down Selhurst cheering on Palace irregardless but my nature being a football fan is to keep dreaming and demanding progression... I thought that was the point?

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

Is this true about the loan market?

The right place at the right time

I think this Frank (punn intended) video from SP last night about the current situation speaks volumes

The Voice of Reason In An Otherwise Mediocre World

Yes, SP has been a great chairman and saved the club (for a modest investment with 3 other very rich people). But surely that must now be considered done and dusted. In my view the credit from that has expired.

In looking at more recent events, two managers a season is becoming the norm. Why do SP's appointments just not seem to work out? He is the common denominator. When Pardew was sacked we were told it was time to "wind back the clock" and say goodbye to expansive football. After a shaky start under Sam, we became harder to beat and spanked Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool. Safety was achieved and we could look forward to a new season of consolidation and growth without relegation worries.

Sam leaves (it's seems not SP's fault but on his watch). After weeks of humming and haahing, SP appoints FDB who is new to the premiership and clearly wants to completely change the way we play. I can only assume with the blessing of SP. This style of play failed under Pardew and he had the the benefit of years of premiership experience. We don't know what assurances FDB was given about new signings.

Now here we are, just into September, with no points, no goals scored, a very unpopular manager, a modest transfer window and many disgruntled fans.

SP was the front man of the group that saved Palace and we will always be grateful. But a lot of bad things have happened on his watch. If he didn't have previous credit in the bank, he would be getting a lot more stick than he is now. I don't doubt that he is Palace through and through. But I do now doubt his ability to run the business side of the club and appoint and deal effectively with managers and oversee player recruitment.

As a small club, in premiership terms, we need to be at our very best and sharpest in managerial and player recruitment.

Perhaps SP would be better suited to be Chief Financial Officer and concentrate on income generation, budgets and marketing? Maybe the recruitment of Doogie is a subtle move in that direction.

I don't believe in witch hunts and personal abuse. But it is not unreasonable, or disloyal, to hold any chairman to account irrespective of their previous achievements.

No witch hunt here. The club needed proper competition/cover/replacement for WH and striker cover. It's been known for months, that's informed opinion not false supposition.

Good times...he was a bit quicker than Dann mind lol
