I cannot believe that the chairman of a football club goes on chat forums and discusses the sacking of a manager and also discusses budgets given to that manager. Just seems unprofessional. Why not just get on with the job of making Crystal palace fc successful and gain respect this way, because if the next manager is not successful the fans will still turn on the owners even if you do answer there questions on a forum. Edited by boilerboy (02 Jan 2011 9.23am) Absolutely disagree with that. What would be unprofessional would be a) slating burley and making "rant" posts ater poor performances purely to appease the fans before making the desicion to sack him or b) naming possible replacements, thus undermining Dougie and possibly providing false hope for the fans. CPFC 2010 hasn't done either of those things thus far. The problem with Jordans reign as Chairman was that he was so hopelessly out of touch with the fans. Fair enough it turned out to be a bit of a disaster (appointing Burley), but at least Steve has the dignity to come on here and explain his desicion/answer fans questions. Did you take your rose tinted glasses off before reading the posts? "Before making the desicion to sack him". and anyway, what he's said about Burley: "He accepted the desicion with dignity" "The desicion was 100% football related" it's not as though he said "George was an alcoholic and a s*** unprofessional manager", is it? Comments such as "Would you have done this?" "Would you have done that?" seemed to me he was trying to get some of us around to their way of thinking, didn't work. I am not going to read through the whole post again to point out the exact points I am on about. Ah well

Mr. Parish came onto the boards far too quickly in my opinion and he was trying to be 'one of the boys.' Now look through every answer he gave which either (i) gave no information we really did not have already and (ii) in some cases, e.g. the squad size GB inherited, were complete rubbish. He should have waited a day, maybe two, seen the mood of the fans, perhaps issued a well prepared statement on the boards and been prepared to answer questions then. I am sure neither he nor Martin Long run their businesses in such a manner. I am afraid they have lost some respect from me through this ill conceived chat which was Mr. Parish's knee jerk reaction to his earlier knee jerk reaction.

Did you take your rose tinted glasses off before reading the posts?

"Before making the desicion to sack him".

and anyway, what he's said about Burley:

"He accepted the desicion with dignity"
"The desicion was 100% football related"

it's not as though he said
"George was an alcoholic and a s*** unprofessional manager", is it?

For me that makes the decision (and the fact that in his first answer he admitted he made a mistake) more understandable and acceptable.

but it's a fair point - when is it a good time to sack a manager? There's always going to be an upcoming game.

Hark now hear the Palace sing!

I cannot believe that the chairman of a football club goes on chat forums and discusses the sacking of a manager and also discusses budgets given to that manager. Just seems unprofessional. Why not just get on with the job of making Crystal palace fc successful and gain respect this way, because if the next manager is not successful the fans will still turn on the owners even if you do answer there questions on a forum. Edited by boilerboy (02 Jan 2011 9.23am) Absolutely disagree with that. What would be unprofessional would be a) slating burley and making "rant" posts ater poor performances purely to appease the fans before making the desicion to sack him or b) naming possible replacements, thus undermining Dougie and possibly providing false hope for the fans. CPFC 2010 hasn't done either of those things thus far. The problem with Jordans reign as Chairman was that he was so hopelessly out of touch with the fans. Fair enough it turned out to be a bit of a disaster (appointing Burley), but at least Steve has the dignity to come on here and explain his desicion/answer fans questions.

I am not going to read through the whole post again to point out the exact points I am on about. I understand where you're coming from, but all he's doing is defending his desicion to sack Burley. Surely it'd be more worrying if he came on here and said "hmmm not sure if i've made the right desicion, waht do you think?"

What I'm talking about CPFC 2010 - erm guys well we've sacked Burley. What do you think? should I have done it? Gosh I really dont know. And who do you want as manager? Please do a poll so i can appoint the winner straight away there's a big big difference Edited by eaglescpfc123 (02 Jan 2011 9.56am) I'm not the one missing the point Ah well

When Burley took over he knew we had lost two defensive central midfielders(Ball winners)yet signed players like Dorman Garvan who couldnt tackle their grandma.Obika? what was the point? has not done a thing,the strange one for me was loaning andrew to Millwall with hardly a striker at our disposal in the ist team squad.Results were poor and his squad rebuilding was dissapointing to say the least. The world was a mess but his hair was perfect!

Steve,Martin and guys I have no questions to ask just wanted to say thanks for 2010 and look forward to 2011. Renewed season ticket this week and so has my daughter for next year. We went to the Millwall game today yes it was disappointing. Was the sacking of George correct again yes because in football it is all about the now 90 minutes can change a season and the finances of a football club. Yes you have to give a manager time but at some point a judgement call has to be made in order to try and change motivation which in turn drives results. There is no doubt we have very good players not only now but good players coming through you only have to look at where we are in the league with the academy. I have no doubt at all that we will start next season in the championship, something happened today at Millwall, the guys on the pitch looked at sorts maybe they are lacking in a little fitness, and maybe some of the players were playing whilst still unwell. Does that show lack of commitment could we have tried harder well only the players will know the answer to that question. What is fact is the commitment and passion from the main players in the team Darren Ambrose, Julian, Paddy, all signed new contracts not for financial gain as all three could have earned more with a move, NO they love our club and what it stands for they love us and they are good quality dedicated and loyal professionals who are here for one reason they love the club.Neil Danns although not signed a new contract has played his best football over the last few weeks dedicated? loyal? motivated? without question. We must all remember 6 months ago without the 2010 lads we would not be posting on this forum, lets not expect to much to soon, be happy we will finish this season out of relegation why? because we are PALACE! Get to the game on Monday show your support show the lads on the pitch we care, buy your season ticket for next year and lets move on together.
