A big part of me just wants to fast forward to May, Parish announce he's stepping aside of football matters, Freedman takes the reigns of football matters and hires a manager who knows the score on a 4 year deal and we start again. We've been treated like pr&ts for far too long. 1 striker, writing off the first 3+ games every season and the biggest fvcking error in football hiring history because he had to take Zaha on his yacht and wait for Southampton to make their choice and wrote off Dyche in the process. All those managers are showing this what a monumental fvck up it is too.

The Campbell regret shows under stress he isn't suitable to make football calls and thinks we're stupid. Then telling fans on the train there's a free agent on the way. Yeah Steve, of course.

Stick to sponsorship deals, fanzones and attracting investors, which are actually major shareholders. Overhauling from tight in defence to dominating teams with £40 mil net is so wide of goal it'd be a throw in.

Nail on the head is appropriate.

Do you remember every summer when these concerns are raised you get hushed by the parish squad?

I got little satisfaction from Chelsea because I know when a situation is dire and that beating a more stationery back 4 without a striker is harder than a complacent back 3.

My god I hope we beat West Ham but this season feels like what solitary confinement must feel like.

But maybe we do. Unless you know the circumstances at the club it's just conjecture either way. People claim others have ignored FFP, is this true? If so, why can't we? If not why are people claiming it? The other two things I can't see how they are a problem, personally?

And as funny as it may seem
Some people get their kicks stompin' on a Dream.
KEEP THE FAITH!!!!!

Oh no we're so so stupid. 1 left back was so successful I don't know how we're so dim.

I find some of these comments astonishing and absurd.Clearly Parish has been very instrumental in the success of CPFC over the past several years and people have short memories - he has got far more right than wrong. For instance, I seem to recall Pulis was not keen to re-sign Zaha when things were not working at Man Utd. Who did the deal - yes, Parish and look at the player he has become and his value. Yes, clearly there was a problem with the appt of De Boer but to his credit he acted quickly - he knew and saw the problems at first hand and not just the 4 game loss.If he insists on taking a strong position on the sharks that are Agents,and thoroughly checking out players characters, I think that is just sensible due diligence/cost management in the best interests of the club as you would expect from any CEO.He, not alone, but with very significant input has transformed CPFC from what he inherited in 2010. For me, more of the same would not be so bad. Getting behind him, Roy and the players in difficult times is far more appropriate than dishing out a lot of at best half truths - thank goodness he appears to have a fairly thick skin.
