The event Parish spoke at tweeted his exact quote and it reads as follows: Sport Industry Group @SportIndustry "We are in a difficult situation, make no mistake. People ask what I'm planning for, I'm planning for Championship. At the moment it's down to the players, but if it does happen I can't start thinking about it then." #SIBC Make up your own minds but it seems like he should have kept his trap shut.

Liverpool won the league with 14 players on heavy pitches and 4 more games in the past. Irrelevant. Everybody had roughly the same amount of players all season. Now everyone ideally has almost 2 per position so tempo is high to compete with someone to step in.

Its only irrelevant, as it doesn't suit you. Every team now can only have 25 players in a squad, just some have more money than others.

I looks like a barrel of laughs on this thread with the fate of championship football looming in the near future is driving posters crazy

What pisses me off is it's easier to stay up in the Premier than it is to finish in the top 2 of the Championship. I think we (and SP) have been spoiled by being fortunate enough to win promotion via playoffs twice in recent memory. The assumption is if we are relegated, we'll be right back up again in a year or two at the most. No problem! The truth is that if you finish 3-6 in the Championship, and have to win two playoff games, each one is pretty much a coin flip, giving you a 25% chance to go up. Counting on that is crazy, which means you have to shoot for the top two spots. When was the last time we managed to do that when we were in the lower division? If we go down, and lose Zaha in the process, we're no better or worse than most all the other Championship teams. We could be wallowing in the Championship for years. We will eventually get back up to the Premiership? Yes, probably, based on our long history. Will it be within 5 years? Not necessarily. My point is, in the Premier, there are 14 teams that aren't rich. It's much easier to put together a team to finish 1-11 out of those 14 teams than it is to finish 1-2 out of all the teams in the Championship. Being in the Championship isn't the end of the world, but it doesn't seem like SP has shown enough urgency to stay in the Premier.

If the worst happens and we get relegated the obvious loss or revenue circa 50-60 mill and our massive wage bill are going to have to be balanced.. Fortunately we have plenty of players coming to the end of I’m guessing pretty lucrative contracts; So who do we let go ? and who do we realistically keep if they are willing to resign on reduced wages?. For me .. Cabaye will return to France .. saving circa 4m Wilf - sold 40 m and saving 4m wages Either way if relegated Roy n Ray are going to have their work cut out and I can’t se SP hanging out in St Tropez this summer

Parish tweeted a link to instagram where a full quote can be found. chair4palace What I actually said today... Asked 'just how much of a risk is investing in a stadium when the club is not guaranteed Premier League safety', Steve Parish said: "The football club has been going since 1905, and will still be going in [the year] 3005. Relegations and promotions are temporary things. What I've got to make sure is that in any eventuality, we can fulfil what we need to do to that are the long term goals of the club. People say to me 'is it (the stadium redevelopment) going to happen if we get relegated?' Well, there will be different challenges to making it happen, and unfortunately in football - you have this unique thing (relegation) - this destroyer of value - but you have to somehow learn to manage it. It exists. Three teams are going to get relegated each year. We're in a difficult situation this year - make no mistake. One of the big challenges of being involved in sport is on a Monday morning when you have lost in the last few minutes [v Spurs], we as a club have to find a way of keeping going. We have to make a plan. What MIGHT happen is that we end up in the Championship. Why even go on these programmes? The papers misquote him and talkshyte where he's also gone on misquote him. What's the need and point of going on there?

Prepare for the start of the season better and problem solved. Hopefully the window closing before the first match will help.
