Quote Ian J at 26 Jan 2014 11.10am Quote TomThePalaceFanatic at 26 Jan 2014 10.26am Although you do make some good points, I think you're too firmly in the anti-Parish/CPFC 2010 camp really. You don't think Pulis is motivated by money, yet he took a £1.5m contract? Also, your spin on the transfer scenario may well be true, and if that's the case then I agree that the owners should look to sell up. Equally, it could be the case that Pulis is in agreement with Parish, and no player has come along in the correct wage bracket. The two players we've been firmly linked towards, Dann and Sissoko, want more than the going rate, and it's probable that both Pulis and Parish agreed that they weren't worth it. Also, there's no chance that CPFC 2010 lied to get Pulis in the job, they're clever men and it's painstakingly obvious that that method would backfire. Your story is quite possibly true, but it's based on small bits of evidence and I don't think you can follow it with certainty To win a case in the High Court you have to prove it beyond a shadow of a doubt but the County Court works on the balance of probabilities and you are correct that I can't prove anything beyond a shadow of a doubt but the balance of probabilities is a completely different matter and stringing together a lot of circumstantial evidence and rumour brings me to the conclusion that all is not right at Selhurst Park. I wouldn't accuse anyone of lying as that is a very emotive word but it is entirely possible that Steve Parish changed his mind in much the same way that I don't think that Dougie Freedman lied with his "job half done" comment but he had a change of heart too. I think that Parish is a bit out of his depth in the Premiership and has changed his views several times already. When we were promoted I complained at the time about his continued negative sound bites as his first comment was that there would be no marquee signings and then he complained that they had been interested in a number of players but they were all too expensive. It looked like we would get no-one except the rejects that no-one else wanted but it was fairly obvious that Parish then realised that if he wanted to play with the big boys he would have to pay the big boys fees so right at the eleventh hour we started to look at more expensive options like Chamakh, Bendtner and Bent. Whatever master plan we had backfired and we were haemorrhaging points like crazy until Holloway left. It was fairly obvious to Parish that the squad wasn't good enough for the Premiership so he employed Tony Pulis with the promise that funds would be available to strengthen the squad in January. Tony Pulis wove his magic and our squad of losers suddenly improved beyond all recognition and from being worried that we would beat Derby's worst ever points total we actually improved sufficiently to move out of the relegation zone and I think that it was probably at that point that Steve Parish decided that we could we could probably stay up without spending any more money so he changed his mind again. What makes me think that this scenario has the ring of truth is that Tony Pulis can hardly come out and complain about his chairman in from of Sky's cameras so he drops some non attributable hints to a journalist friend who runs the story for him. Isn't that what any of us would do in the circumstances? It wouldn't surprise me at all if you're right, but I'm willing to reserve full judgement until the window closes

Quote collier row eagle at 26 Jan 2014 11.06am I heard from a good source that TP and moody, don't get on, it seems that SP has now gone on holiday to Bermuda, at what can only be described as an important time for this football club. Shouldn't be surprised really, we always seem to make a hash of things during the transfer window. Has moody done anything yet? We are probably the last to know what's happening, perhaps by the end of the week we will be doing cartwheels with utter delight at our new signings!!.........and there again perhaps not. I would love us to compete in the premiership, but we have to spend, not only to compete, but just survive, if we can't do this then we're back in the championship next season. Maybe we can survive with what we have? Or maybe not, but it would give us a better chance with some quality signings, but if they don't want to come to palace then........... ummm....Maybe I should have forgotten it, but it always struck me as odd, under the circumstances when SP went away from Selhurst at half time against Barnsley (I think) a good while back - to go to Brands Hatch for a pre-scheduled race meet- it's not so much what you do. it's the timing that gives out the signals

On top of which Dobbie wasn't a mistake. We had a deal that said if we took him on loan when we did we then had to buy him in the summer. We took him on loan, went up and then had to buy him.

He was brought in as the messiah for transfers as SP f*ed up so badly in the summer. Waste of money so far. Those that think this squad of players can stay up are deluded, we are the lowest scorers in the league, please tell me where goals are going to come from? Got to slacken the purse strings to stay up. TP stated that it was hard to get players to go to Stoke, seems the same can be said for CP. We will know if sp fed up during the summer at the end of the season. Admittedly a few mistakes were made but under the circumstances i personally feel that they are acceptable. Marange Dobbie Phillips Gayle Jerome Campana Hunt Theres 7 mistakes, players not good enough for the prem at present. Please dont say some of these are for the future*, its NOW we need players. Wouldnt be acceptable if it was my money that was being spent. We were told at the time that Gayle was one for the future but isn't that what the academy is for? Unless the academy is not producing talent at the level we want? Whilst our academy is good, it is not as amazing as everyone makes out, if it were we would have 16 y/o's making the bench game in, game out pushing the 1st 11 for their places. We rarely do and that's not down to the managers, it's because the kids coming through are just not good enough. I see 2 mistakes in that list, Marange & Phillips. The others all have their part to play and I agree that Gayle would most probably have bagged more goals given more game time.

I would have thought TP will walk if he doesnt get the players he has asked for.
