Don’t hold your breath. Worst outcome today - we lost but were unlucky & close enough that SP may think we can soldier on as we are.

Ambition has nothing to so with it, although I think Parish is for the club.

The premise of this thread is that Parish is some how holding back on spending money, I don't believe that.

The 2 Americans want to sell and Textor is up to to his eyeballs in debt at Lyon so I doubt they are pleading with Steve to spend money.

if there is a lack of ambition it is with the majority shareholders.

Parish rightly will not put the club into too much debt we have been down that road twice before it never ends well for us.

You have to question why we have taken on wealthy American owners who do not want to put any money in?

Suspect we will try to hang out with Hodgson until the Summer when Southgate can take over. Royball mark 2.

1 win in 9, with City, Brighton and Chelsea next up. 1 in 12 would be unacceptable.

Why cant some people understand that, its beyond me, you can criticize the buying of Franca and Hendersen, but surely that is not his fault, he is not a football man, not Manager or DOF

Interestingly, this was opined to a supporter at half-time and the reaction contained some salty language, indeed on his face fell an expression of disgust.

Yup Parish has his faults but the idea he is not ambitious for this club is not one of them.

It is often said that their are buyers out there but Parish blocks them because he does want to lose control, I really don't buy that and I cite Manchester United, Newcastle and Charlton as my evidence.

In all 3 cases there have been multiple willing buyers and a reluctant seller, in all cases the potential buyers have used the media to put pressure on the owners to sell.

I am not aware of any thwarted buyer going to the press and saying I have big plans for Palace but Steve Parish et al won't sell.

So what you are saying is that Parish is being poorly advised by manager / DOF? I can run with that in theory, but in that case those who persuade Parish to spend aren't competent enough to be advising him.

I dont envisage Parish going to Dougie and Roy and saying, I know lets buy Franca and Hendersen, do you.

Pardew got sacked after a similar 0-1 defeat at home to Chelsea.

The timing of Henderson was unfortunate (when we had more need for other positions) but I don't think anyone will have any complaints when/if he gets fit!
