Well for me, I'm still struggling with how SP appoints a manager and then doesn't back him. If there were internal problems then these should have been addressed in real time and not allowed to get to the point where we're reading about disagreements in the press. SP holds his hands up - but for me the mistake was not the appointment - the mistake was not supporting FdB 100%. Frank made some terrible decisions early doors.

Yeah so you agree, two mistakes and three if you count taking a chance on De Boer a mistake. What about the four quality signings he made this window and the two in Jan. See all i see you doing is focusing on his 2/3 mistakes and shouting he's not up to the job. Take a measured approach and he's actually getting far more things right than wrong. Its easy to look back through history and pick out all the mistakes... But thats not measured against the successes. Surely if FdB was such a bad mistake then getting rid so quickly was a good decision? But lets forget that, because of course we're only focuses on his mistakes... PLENTY worse chairman in football than Parish. Look at the class of player signed since Pardew has left and look at the squad littered with Pardew signings. I see progress but obviously we're a couple short but its IMO completely blinkered to think he's getting everything wrong. Edited by Goldfiinger (23 Sep 2017 9.06pm) Can you tell us who these are?

Doesn't take a rocket scientist to work out to only have one recognised striker is a potential disaster waiting to happen. Benteke breaks his leg next week... then what??? Criminal to have no one else to call upon. And to be told it is what it is , suck it up and deal with it is bloody rude Substitute broken leg for ligament issues. Actually feel a bit sick I mentioned this!

Well it happened. Now we get 'blessing in disguise' and 'time for kids' from the desperate sycophants it's embarrassing.

Frank made some terrible decisions early doors. If you keep on making the same mistakes and each time expect a different result, then of course you cannot win. On top of that, having no striker cover is beyond any comprehension - I haven't seen a single poster disagree on that.

Or they are so blinded by SP they won't admit he has royally f***ed up. Ok Benteke won't be missed in the sense he wasn't actually scoring any goals. It the fact we don't have a recognised striker which I take serious issue with. It's a disgrace, a farce and a shambles

It's a disgrace, a farce and a shambles I have heard similar sentiments expressed outside of HOL with liberal portions of venting of spleens and some at their splenetic worse.This was of course known but has only come into sharp focus due to the Benteke injury. Totally unbalanced squad with defenders a plenty and a dearth of options up front.When I look around some of the other PL squads I see an array of options for example Huddersfield have Mounie,Depoitre, Kachunga,Quaner and Sabiri, Bournemouth have Defoe,Afobe,King,Mousset,Wilson. Doesn't reflect well at all on our club.

Striker agreed. Do you think we are a likely employer of a good, young and ambitious manager. Or will the number of manager/board bust-ups mean we're just too toxic for top talent.

Striker agreed. Last Summer after Tomkins, Townsend and Benteke it was a joke as well. Every Summer has been Parish trying to play clever on the last day and 2 years running its put us in serious danger, with some blame also laying with Pardew and Frank. In fact every season the transfer business has been left too late and poorly planned. The only summer it wasn't was when we got off to flyer and he started mentioning Europe and Pardew Chelsea jobs. Are you clear yet?
