I think you may well be correct and it is the wage bill that is crippling us. We need a decent takeover quickly

As I said in a previous post, maybe SP is too much of a fan and will not let go of his club.

I'm not so sure as I think that if he was "too much of a fan" he would sell the club to someone who could actually take it forward" Personally I think that he enjoys the limelight too much and doesn't want to go back to just being a nobody - albeit a rich nobody

For me this last 2/3 windows have become a complete JOKE. What in heavens name is SP now doing to our club?

Apart from Spurs last year who didn't invest yet finished third, CL runners up and have a shiny new stadium, the last club who tried it were Sunderland and look where those overpaid players took them. I can't see Parrish/Freedman signing the players we need especially when we're bidding 20% below clubs valuations and then moving to the next target to do it again and again. Levy has shown us how to run a club and our spiv is showing us how not to.

The thing that concerns me is that going into our 7th consecutive season in the Premier League ( which I willingly admit is no mean achievement) our stature and reputation as a club has not really grown in that time in the way it should have. Our stadium hasn't improved, we start the season again as one of the favourites to be relegated, players don't seem over keen to come to Selhurst, there doesn't seem any coherent plan or strategy for the club in terms of squad development and recruitment. We may survive another season but we really are skating on this ice.

Totally agree. As I said in a previous post, maybe SP is too much of a fan and will not let go of his club. If he's that much of a fan why has he let this scenario transpire again? Pre - season done now AWB sold for 50M 5+ weeks ago, still no signings of any note so know chance for RH to work with new signings and integrate them into the team. So we're now back to the walls with 5 days before the transfer window shuts operating in the final days of the "Sales" allegedly trying to sign 4 or 5 players from what's left on the "racks"..!! It ain't just this window - it's every bl@@dy window - same story. Look I think we will sign 4 most likely; Aguilar Then keep Wilf.. But once again going into the first game we are undercooked following pre - season, meaning again we'll struggle early season be in the relegation mire again come October/November - whilst RH and RL work desperately to get the new signings integrated and work out our best team, format and style of play.. Then as before we'll hit some form with some hiccups along the way and probably finish lower half of mid table again - we'll all be happy having secured Prem status again despite once again going through the preverbial rinser early season. So my question is if SP is such a fan why does he keep making the same mistakes. My view is that SP is a fan yes - but loves the limelight more of being "the Big Cheese" at a Prem club without necessarily the financial resources to back it up - hence the Americans got/are getting disillusioned and SP is struggling to find other buyers/investors wit the insistence he remains at the helm. IMO until this is sorted the status quo will remain. COYP
