Part owned and run by a fan, a fan as manager. PL 10yrs, not been in serious relegation trouble.for.a few seasons. Best equipped academy in South East London. That flag is proper muggy. I hope they implode, they would deserve it.
They seem to be frustrated with getting to 40 points and safety and not moving on. Can't think what might go wrong there
I was listening to 606 on Saturday night and a couple of their fans were saying just that....'we are going backwards' etc, etc.
They need to "push on to the next level".
Get rid of Woy, appoint some mug managers (the modern day equivalent of Dowie and Pardew) and then drop like a stone through the divisions - possibly via a third Administration too.
Their next move is really important. They've managed to Houdini their way to safety for a decade by always getting the right firefighter in. Warnock, Pulis, Pardew, Allardyce, Hodgson. The times they've tried to be a bit cleverer with de Boer and Vieira they've had to go back to the stodge and they're running out of specialist relegation avoiders. Once the firefighters run out of fires they're always found out and eventually there has to be a tipping point. They've done incredibly well to evade it for so long. Annoyingly I reckon Cooper will stay unemployed for long enough for them to get him in and save them, but if he gets hoovered up before then it'll be a very interesting next appointment. Regardless they've managed to make a bloke who has kept them relevant when they should have been sent back down where they belong a long time ago hate them, and I think that's hilarious.

100% - It's a shame Sheff Utd and Burnley are in the league this season, otherwise they would be in serious trouble this time round.
They'll likely get Potter in as their next manager and do well though, they seem to fluke it every season.
I was chatting to my Palace supporting friend Saturday night. He pretty well echoed what the protestors shout about, to his credit though he did think they were cringeworthy. He stated that they have some very wealthy American owners who wont put their money in. I did point out to him that they have had a good run in the prem and are not really likely to to go down this season, (although that might not be quite correct, there is always hope but they always were a jammy team), and I asked him what he would want as their are plenty of clubs who would consider Palace to a success. He thinks Roy holds them up rather than improves and is to blame for the loss of players, players wanting to leave and lack of quality players wanting to sign. He also said they should be showing some ambition to get into Europe and win domestic cups. Pretty much the same as many other clubs and those that have reached their limit and to be honest, although many like to deny it, I remember quite a few people expecting more from us the year after we finished 7th. I do enjoy and look hopefully forward to their immanent demise but we are light years away from having a deluded protest like theirs. I'd take a 5-0 thrashing off Arsenal all day rather than our weekly humiliations. We are the worse team in London and 7 point away from a relegation spot, I'd like it to be them but its us.
Roy should've walked away at the end of last season and enjoyed his retirement after keeping Palace in the Premier. Seeing and hearing him get stick is shameful, plus I really wish Steve Parish had been a Cafc fan as he's the main reason that Palace have had a decade or so in the elite division.
If Eze and Olise, two very talented footballers leave in the Summer then next season should give many of you enjoyment.
With Charlton heading south quicker than birds migrating in the winter then it all sounds hollow slagging off a team two divisions higher than us and who lose to Arsenal while we lose to Burton.
Their team is absolute garbage. They're lucky the lower end of the table is so weak this year.
It's such an easy PL to stay up in this season. 3 poor promoted teams, Everton with points deductions, maybe Forest too.
I would agree they're going backwards as a team though. I don't know if it's because money is earmarked for the new stand, but that project still hasn't started. They spent very little in the summer, and don't have any loanees either.
Bar DeBoer they've been so good at getting a decent manager in, which was where we went spectacularly wrong. I thought Viera was decent and it was strange to dismiss him after a poor run against excellent sides.
The banner is a total disgrace (and very Nigel) Roy's face says it all. I genuinely don't believed we would do that as a fan base in their situation. Hopefully the fans will cause it all to collapse.🤞🏻

It was a bit worse than that. They went 12 games without a win and a three game run where they didn't have a shot on target. Regardless of the level of opposition they were only heading one way
It's galling that they sold him for £10m only to get him back for just £3m. That £7m being a nice Brucie bonus that helped them stabilise themselves at that level whilst his diving earned them enough penalties to stay up every year.
Contrast to us and Chuks, who we let go on a free only to buy him back 6 months later for £350k. Since then, whenever he's looked good he's got injured.

I look forward to it.

Carry on regardless; was Sid James in that one🤔

I sometimes think the footballing gods hate us.
