Nobody does anything for nothing, his wages are about £1m a year, less than most players some who are nowhere near the first team. It wouldn’t matter if he resigned, a new Chairman would get exactly the same criticism from the same people.

Do they all make extras for using their offices? COYP

Scouting doesn't take a short amount of time to build relationships and systems to be successul but this is far from the original posts point. DF I do not think has had enough time to create an efficient scouting system (if that's what he is doing.....I don't know) (If we do find some good players in the future (god knows we need some) I have no doubt that it'll be the work of a manager and not DF according to posters who hold ill will towards DF and if they are bad then we know who will be blamed.) I think the easiest conclusion to this is argument is that opinions differ when it comes to SP, if you want to make another post that goes back to people arguing the merits and faults of SP then by all means do so but going back to FFP and where the club stands on the issue is probably best.

I don’t get how everyone suddenly polarises around this issue, or why everyone seems to have to fall into a SP lover / hater camp. I don’t get how we can criticise SP for wanting to only spend money that we have, or that we criticise SP for earning out of the club. There are issues with the club, it seems to be run like a lower league club and our scouting, training facilities, Holmesdale Fanatics issue and academy etc all seems to be a bit iffy. This must be SP’s fault and should be easy to resolve - in that the money spent on Sorloth, for instance would have gone a long way to sorting it. However, our playing staff are probably comparable with most other sides outside the top 6, and we are not getting the best out of them. That has to be the fault of RH. Both SP and RH have done, and no doubt are doing good things too, to the best of their ability. We can clamour for a change, but I think that the “be careful what you wish for” point is well made. This is not a black and white issue.

This extends the waiting time, and even more so because they don’t have any contacts, and that’s as well as all the mistakes coming and have come our way. Parish knows best and anyone else around who knows more or needs and makes it clear the club needs certain or more things doesn’t last very long, often by choice. COYP

That's an extra way parish gets paid by CPFC. Then there are obviously shares, bonuses, a basic wage. I do not have any issues with parish making money out of the club, so long as it's reasonable - is this reasonable?? Smoke & Mirrors is a media, video & music production company that SP is a director & part owner of. The have offices in Beak Street, Soho a part of which is sub let to CPFC for SP himself along with the web/media/social media team. S&M have offices across the globe. According to the accounts these premises were provided at a peppercorn rent for a few years however, following comments from HMRC this was changed to reflect ‘market rate’ in 2017. Strangely, it seems to be where we handle our transfer negotiations too. I think people make too much of the company name. Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!
