Things like selling our no 1 Goalie or loaning out a striker scoring for fun when we can't score for sh1t doesn't help our amateurish reputation.
We also paid well over the odds for so many players that our only chance of financial survival was to sell our best young player. And then our star player feels like leaving and we help him out. These things are pretty much a joke: if we saw Brighton or West Ham do it, we would have a laugh.

Red and Blue Army!

We have had too many managers who have had too short a time in the job, mostly as the y have come in to firefight a crisis. They bring in they ir favourites and most of them are short term.

We have a chairman who appoints a mate or two into key roles.

We have a transfer policy based on spending as little as possible and doing deals on the last minutes of the window.

We buy or loan players who never go anywhere near the 1st team

We spend too much on wages of mediocre free transfers

I could go on

We never have been up until now.

For clubs like us spending money dosent equate to success.

The academy and a few decent free transfers are the main reason where we are today

You can look at Arsenal letting staff go to pay a player 300k - if that's established then no thanks

We are lucky to have Parish - a man with principles who does his best as a Palace fan - like the rest of us

Can you honestly say that Meyer or Riedewald have shown enough to be selected in front of the likes of PVA or even Schlupp who was dismissed as being crap until Roy saw his strengths and value to the team ?

Meyer is spoken about by some fans as a no 10 despite barely any team in the Premier League deciding they can afford such a luxury and the player showing zero to suggest we can afford to try it.

At the time Parish acknowledged that we paid over the odds for some players in order to attract them here.

That's helped change us from a team who initially looked nailed on for relegation every season to a team that now just flirts with relegation.

AWB would have gone to Man U whatever happend.

Weve done excellently to keep Zaha for this long.

Thats because they are righties!
