KaKa Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Just now, The Bonk said: They have a good catchment area, if they weren't in London, they'd be lower to mid table Championship level. When Conor Gallagher was there with Zaha, they at least were somewhat interesting, they've been getting worse since Viera left. Yeah it's a really decent area for footballing talent. The Surrey area also has some really nice places to live, and the transport connections to London are really good. The club is just badly managed I think.

The College Dropout Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 45 minutes ago, STM said: The problem is that Parish is a fucking moron, just like Simon Jordan was. A footballing dinosaur. Every time he tries to move on from Hodgson he ends up with Viera or De Boer. How about hire someone genuinely transformative? Brighton manage it, Brentford manage it. Fulham managed it to a degree. The fact he keeps relying on Roy tells you everything an absolute failure of imagination and ambition. If Parish was here, he tell us that he doesn't have the finance to compete but he doesn't have the morals to seek new investors or indeed new owners to make sure of the clubs future. Wheres the vision? Not picking on you but I do hate posts like these. Palace had 5 or 6 seasons in the highest division of English football in the 30 odd years before Parish took over. Since Parish has taken over about 11 or 12 years ago, they’ve had a decade in the top division. Hardly a ‘fucking moron’. Granted they’ve not kicked on like Brighton and that’s a limitation of his leadership. But on the whole he’s done a brilliant job. 46 minutes ago, The Bonk said: They have a good catchment area, if they weren't in London, they'd be lower to mid table Championship level.

TomYam Posted October 27, 2023 Share Posted October 27, 2023 Palace have a huge catchment area - the largest of the biggest 50 clubs in England. Save for one or two individual years, this is the most successful time in their history. Palace could have never been described as a big club, but the fact that they're in London and have a huge local population with no competition in their backyard means they surely have the potential to be among the biggest clubs in the country.

The Bonk Posted October 28, 2023 Share Posted October 28, 2023 3 hours ago, The College Dropout said: If they weren’t in London, they wouldn’t be Crystal Palace. They lack identity, both as a club and fanbase. In the community that is English football, they're mostly irrelevant. On the surface, it appeared Viera was trying to build that, but ultimately it seemed to fizzle out as the fans didn't really rally around him. Since Howe has come here, he's galvanized the fanbase, players and boardroom. That's a huge part of our turnaround, the culture he's tried to instil from day 1. I agree with you, my statement was a bit silly, but the quality that keeps Palace in the league is mostly from their academy and catchment. Good on them for developing that player pipeline, but they've never really done anything of note with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
