The last 2 windows being amongst them. But I get the feeling that he now realise that he should leave the football decisions to the football people. Although Roy comes across as a gentleman,unthinkable he would tell Parish to piss off. And parish knows darn well that any more sudden departures of managers and his days will be numbered. Although he wants what's best for us. In his words yesterday "we can't standstill". Let's hope he means it. P.s I would get rid of Freedman ..if those 2 he bought in are anything to go by. always a Norwood boy, where ever I live.

Maybe too early to judge Freedman considering very little was spent in January on players obviously not intended to feature immediately and the focus being the next season, hence the bid for Adamou. Edited by Rudi Hedman (10 May 2018 1.31pm) COYP

we will see if he does learn. over the years he has said a lot of what we want to hear but never followed up with the goods and ended up panicking to please fans by signing players to over shadow the other faults I want to know what freedman really does since coming back we have heard nothing from him or even someone mentioning what his roles will be (could just be scape goat for SP if things go wrong again) with all this talk about wanting to keep rlc i really hope we dont do like previous season with benteke and sako end up wasting the whole window trying to do a deal for the one player I do ave a good feeling with Roy here he will bring a lot to the club in all different ways. Any one know whats going on with training ground? the last i read was the residents moaning about the plans also i see palace have been using other places as well throughout the season.

I want to know what freedman really does since coming back we have heard nothing from him or even someone mentioning what his roles will be (could just be scape goat for SP if things go wrong again)

with all this talk about wanting to keep rlc i really hope we dont do like previous season with benteke and sako end up wasting the whole window trying to do a deal for the one player

We are about to finish 10th in the top division and then enter our sixth consecutive season in that top flight. We have some of the best players we have ever had. Eight years ago we were bust. This should be a time of rejoicing, not attacking our Chairman for actually admitting he has made a mistake or two. After freeing up money to buy Mutch and Lee for example you can understand him being cautious. What do people actually want? To complete expensive signings of people who then go on to be disasters? That is the policy adopted by Stoke and look what happened to them. Berahino anyone? Gianni Imbula? Wimmer? Many other clubs could produce a similar list, not least West Ham. It is an interesting exercise reading the transfer talk threads dating back to previous windows and seeing which players Palace fans were gutted to miss out on, and what failures they have been since. This is not a game off football manager, it is played with real money, which is not your money or mine.

We (meaning Sam) were after Tosun last summer but allegedly left the bid too late and also allegedly couldn't agree on payment terms. This January Sam at Everton was after Tosun again and I think that the journalists just chucked our hats into the ring without any evidence.

This is not a game off football manager, it is played with real money, which is not your money or mine. Good post. Every player, except Speroni was purchased whilst Parish was Chairman. They look like finishing high mid table in the toughest league in the world. That is not good enough for some they moan constantly about transfer windows, the squad not being good enough etc. Maybe some reflection on what has been achieved in the last few years is needed.
