Do you really think that Hodgson would have agreed to have Wilf, his star player replaced by a teenager from Brazil who had hardly played for his Brazilian first team let alone was ready for the rigours of the Premier League bearing in mind that it took two thirds of our player budget. Roy may have the title of Manager but he's really little more than a coach and it's fairly obvious when he is asked questions about incomings that he doesn't really know what's going on

I believe the other was Hall, who ended up at Newcastle. Originally posted by Midlands Eagle
I assume that Ekki Tikki Tavi was one of them which curiously part failed allegedly as we decided to negotiate with the player and not his club but I wonder who the other one was

Parish is the problem, sack Parish, wtf are you lot on? Putting aside the obvious that we're ninth in the league by beating Man Utd at Old Trafford (to the annoyance it would seem of some of the people on here) with a side that isn't at full strength by a long shot, been in the prem for ten years, aren't saddled with a sh!t ton of debt and have managed to do that without the deep pockets of Chelsea, Newcastle et al, seriously what is the issue here? Do we need a new striker, right back and more depth in the squad, yes absolutely. Do we have the money to do this, no we don't so what exactly do you expect Parish to do about this? He can't force Textor and the yanks to put money in, he hasn't got the personal wealth to do that, and like it or not, this isn't Fifa or whatever it's called now on the PlayStation, where you just buy a player and that's that. For whatever reason, deals don't always come off, other clubs sneak in (Chelsea has basically tried to buy everyone in the league) and players/agents can demand exorbitant fees, just look at some of the prices paid out in the last transfer window! Some of you need to get a grip, until someone comes in with a billion in the bank and a desire to build the club up, we are what we are, we're at the financial level that we're at, and having a chairman with pie in the sky ideas and no way to do it has landed us in administration twice. And to say Roy has no opinion on who the club signs is absolutely ludicrous. I'm sure he's not always got his first choice, but to imply he knows nothing about it is just silly.
The trouble with computers, of course, is that they're very sophisticated idiots |

It's also amazing that some of the younger generation early 20s would maybe only have started supporting palace when they were 9 or 10 and have never known administration and only really got a year of two in the championship and then 10 years of premier league football.

Season ticket holders can re-sell thier tickets if they cannot make a game. My personal opinion we will never fill a 30,000+ seater stadium. we are a small club with a small fan base. Yeah thats just tripe. Pure and simple. If you want to compare us to Man United sure we're a small club. News flash. ALL clubs are small compared to them.

Supported Palace for 40 years and still can’t believe how well we are doing in this moment in time. Can only see it getting better as well, more than half the team now is pure quality that would walk into any top 6 team.

I endorse all the positive things that has been said about Steve Parish. I am 82, used to live in Norbury and I sat on my dad's shoulders Compared to those days of the old Division Three South I am living in wonderland and am eternally grateful for him saving us from extinction 13 years ago. Palace fans have known many ups and downs (mostly the latter)
Man and boy Palace since my first game in 1948 sitting on my dad's shoulders |

The problem with those blaming everything on Parish is that they don't appreciate realistically the lay of the land or even offer a viable workable alternative.
