Originally posted by Painter But why be so repetitive. Does the point our only goals this season weren't scored by Benteke, in fact he hasn't looked like scoring. I'm not being repetitive. Its the first time I have called Parish out for mismanagement. Up to the start of this season I saw the odd little mistake and generally gave him the benefit of the doubt and accepted we're all human. But...... Bringing in a new manager, asking him to change the way we play (but not giving him any support in the transfer market) and then sacking him after 4 games is not a small mistake. Its a howler borne out of fear of relegation and not having the strength of your convictions and sticking with a plan for a reasonable period to at least give it a chance to work. Failure to sign a striker before the window closed when everyone knew we only had one fit one is penny pinching at best, outright incompetence at worst. If we stay up it will be Palaces greatest ever achievement. If we go down it is Parish's fault 100%

The repetition on these boards is nauseating. I don't care what other people post (or want to). I'll post what I want to thanks. Not really bothered how many times you have to read the same thing. Its just proof most of us feel the same way. If you don't want to read it. Don't. Simple really

Originally posted by Stuart Shave Quite amusing though that the same fans that were slagging SP for not going for better than Niasse on Deadline Day are now slagging SP for not bringing Niasse in. What a strange set of fans we have! Not really, The transfer window wasn't 24 hours. Parish had all summer to bring in a quality striker so yes he should have delivered.

Next summer when he's counting cost of all the lost millions and struggling to get any new investment in , the penny may finally drop for Steve .. there was a lot of poor decision making in the summer and I fear will cost us big time

Originally posted by LostockRednBlue And we let Niasse slip through the net cos we wouldn't pay agents fees. What a great money pinching decision that was. See the two great goals he scored yesterday off the bench to turn around the game for Everton. Mistake after mistake this year by the Board. That's not quite what happened though is it. The reports at the time stated his agents had tried to blag a large fee from us and Everton at the last knockings & both clubs told em no. Whilst I agree we royally screwed up not getting a striker in I also believe the club were right not to allow themselves to be held to ransom. You start down that road & you end up getting the same treatment on every transfer - the kind of mess Redknapp leaves behind when he buggers off. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Originally posted by europalace I'm suggesting that this is a pointless thread, subject discussed to death already. No matter how much the children here kick and scream, they don't own or run the club, so they have zero influence on what happens at the club. I am 61 years old, have watched Palace since 1961 please dont tell me I am a child who is kicking and screaming. You are right I don't have influence but I have always defended SP and the board but I have a right to be angry about this and SP should come out on social media and explain (he normally likes to do this )

They wanted paying in 6 months but we insisted on 18. Next thing SP says we have 340 million to spend in January! am I missing something here?

That seems fairly normal for clubs of our size & is usually explained away by timings of known income and outgoings. I get why but you'd have thought someone could've scraped a few million together to make it happen - even if it was a loan from a director or similar. Maybe we do actually have a shopping list for the next window or two? If so, it could all end up being for nowt. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!
