One more year is not the worst idea. Ideally would like someone like Potter but if he wants to take a break and join after 1 year Roy for another season is not a bad idea. Everyone seems to enjoy playing for him. Heard Andros Townsend yesterday on Talksport saying how good Roy was to him. Others have also said the same like Eze.

It’s awful. No ambition. It wont just be a year of standing still we will go down then Southgate will take over and we will be a mid table championship and end up like reading and Blackpool..We will never progress guarantee it. I certainly won’t go to a game next season. If I was a investor or one of the investors I’d pull out would serve parish right

These clubs were in the Premier League when we got promoted:

Cardiff, Hull, Norwich, Southampton, Stoke, Sunderland, Swansea, West Brom.

Any of them would swap in a heartbeat. And yeah, we're doing it on a budget: [Link]

But the club still isn't making money ... so where does all this finance for the next step come from?

26th January 2010 - Enter Administration
2nd May 2010 - D-Day 1 - Survival at Hillsborough
1st June 2010 - D-Day 2 - Survival at Lloyds
7th June 2010 - CPFC2010 exchange contracts.

Plenty of clubs on a lower budget seem to do better than us. Maybe if we had achieved better finishes and had ambition we would have made more money. All you need to do is look at Brighton Brentford etc. Sides that want to do well. We’re still stuck with a 76 year old manager after being in the division for 10 years trying to stay in the f***ng league. I’ve had a season ticket for 30 years and this next season I am not gonna bother going. What’s the point in giving the club money when they don’t want to progress we will always be in this position with a crap budget if every year we just want to stay up. Hopefully when we are bottom in February more fans will refuse to turn up. We will look like Sunderland and Blackburn at the end of their premier league years. Every time there’s a chance of aiming higher parish throws a spanner in the works cause he has to control managers even though he has the footballing knowledge of a wet paper towel

Your missing the point.
Brighton and Brentford are owned by two very intelligent people, professional gamblers, analytical superstars. Their modal is one we all aspire to. But we are a long way off (as are 18 other premier league clubs)

we are a loss making company with billionaire owners not willing to bankroll the club. The ambition for us is to clear the debts and run a sustainable football club. (Boring I know).

In the last 10 years, we have
- Raised the profile of the club (Amazon and Channel 4 doc)
- purchased the training ground
- Put a plaster on Selhurst Park
- approved planning to increase Selhurst park
- category A academy
- FA cup final and semi final
The most successful tenure in the clubs 162 year history if your measuring conservative years in the top devision.

Whilst I admit Parish makes mistakes, I do sympathies with the ambitions of the fan base vs no funds. The net debt is -£100m.

In Parish seeking investment he has unfortunately divided the board room.

Textor is a smokescreen for other US investors & has no money for Lyon
Harris and Blitzer want out
Parish has little wealth to keep the ship afloat on his own.

So in summary (and sorry if I depress you all).

We ride out the premier league
Maintain Category 1 academy
Increase the stadium
Increase revenues
Increase the overall value of Crystal Palace FC
And….
Hopefully get brought out by a billionaire to take us to the next step and allow Textor, Parish,Harris and Blitzer to make profits on their investments.

The End
