Champions League - Europa League - Conference League

[Paplane]

Whilst the likes of Sky and co keep lapping up and reporting every morsel of S**t that spews out of Parrish's mouth, then we are gonna be in the sights of any thick headed, rose tinted, knuckle dragging, gormless t**t going. Parrish (spit!) is churning out more and more bollocks every time he opens his mouth and the afore mentioned thick headed, rose tinted, knuckle dragging gormless twats are still sucking it all in. There are few Palace fans I have seen comment in the Athletic that have said their club f****d up, but the vast majority are still in denial about Palace being a part of an MCO and this is all down to EM and Forest? How the f**k they come to that conclusion, apart from listening to their sly, spineless, highly incompetent owner of course.

For me, I dont give a f**k about what Palace fans say TBH. If they are so stupid not to realise their own owner has royally f****d up big time and is looking to swerve the blame away from him, then that is on them.

What I do give a f**k about though is the potential for there to be violence at Selhurst Park in a couple of weeks time, when our travelling Red Army arrives there and our fans getting attacked. Parrish and his tub thumping, anti everything Nottingham Forest vitriol is whipping his fans up into a frenzy and that can only lead to one thing. If this does happen, then I hope that the authorities have the guts to arrest Parrish for inciting riots, using words and behaviour likely to cause a breach of the peace etc. God forbid anything does happen, but if any of our fans do get hurt at Selhurst Park, I hope they take Parrish to court and sue the b*****d!  :Anger:

It is quite bizarre how some of their fans still think this is none of Parish’s or Palace’s fault. Admittedly many are now gunning for Textor but of course his and Marinakis’s friendship appears to continue to fan the flames and keep up their imagination that this is Forest’s fault.

Anyway, what is refreshing as you say is that some fans are now looking inwards but also, the changing views of some of the media. Yes, good ol Sky’s chief correspondent/Palace fan is still spinning the sob story but likes of Simon Jordan, Jim White and others are telling it as it is. As days go by I’m sure more will follow and as we move into the season and Chelsea, Liverpool, Utd etc kick-off their new season Sky and the rest will forget all about little ol Palace.

I have been following this thread for a while! Ignoring all the vitriol I am intrigued to know why folk think that what has happened, to Forest’s benefit and Palace’s loss, is the responsibility of Parish. He, or his club, have no control over shares owned by another shareholder. The most that could have been done was identify an issue, point it out and request that steps were taken. They could not take those steps themselves. Only the shareholder could and when the relationship had broken down, primarily because they wanted to make the club a MCO and Parish refused, that wasn’t going to happen. 

The responsibility lies entirely with Textor and if, as has been reported, further legal action is being contemplated it would appear most likely to be directed at him on the basis that Directors should always act in the best interests of the organisation. 

Attacks on Parish and Palace seem, in my opinion, to be misguided.

The plain and simple fact that Forest fans are attacking Parrish and Palace is because, it is those two that decided to smear our name through the courts and somehow put the blame onto Marinakis and NFFC. The latest slur on our owners character is that he is in an informal MCO with Textor, because we have bought a couple of players from his clubs. Ridiculous!
At the start of all of this, I was of the opinion that Palace should be allowed to remain in the Europa League and we take our place in the Conference, as Palace earned their place on sporting merit. However, the fact that Parrish, not Textor or anybody else associated with CPFC, apart from their fans, has constantly tried to blame all of this on Forest, even after the matter went to CAS and it was thrown out, has certainly swayed my opinion of the whole sorry affair.

Not once has Parrish or Textor held their hands up and said, OK, we did screw up, even if its a little bit, but no he has to keep on the charade that it is all down to Evangelis Marinakis and Nottingham Forest FC.

Can you answer me a question? In your opinion, which you are entitled to of course, why is it misguided of Forest fans to attack Parrish and Palace, yet it is perfectly fine for them to attack us? You say Palace and Parrish have done nothing wrong. But Forest and Marinakis havent either, but it seems ok for them to constantly whip up a frenzy amoungst Palace supporters just a week or so before the two sides play each other in the league, thus making it a very unsafe place for our fans to visit?

I look forward to a reasonable response

Parish, their owner/chairman/CEO (whatever he is), took the investment off Textor in the first place. He allowed the guy to buy into his club. Here's a Parish quote at the time:

"We have been looking for the right investment for the right investor for a while, both to progress the club and deal with the significant financial challenges of the past 18 months due to COVID"

So he took Textor's money to get Palace through the Covid period. Did it not occur to him at the time that he might need to impose a restriction on Textor buying another European club while holding Palace shares, or was he just so desperate to get the cash he took whatever deal was on offer? If you introduce people onto your board, do you not have discussions beforehand about matters such as these?
