But the Palace chairman seems like a right banana split out of all this. Probably again mislead another manager like he did with Pullis over the transfer budget and now changed his mind. Wouldn't surprise me if Big Sam requested about three defenders and was told no.

After Pulis wanted the likes of Crouch, Walters and whoever other old high wage player he wanted (Caulker was found out to be awful and Sigurdsson was never going to Palace)? And then took the bonus early and left two days before season? Then lost in court? Yeah, Parish really is the twat there for not wanting the club to have potential financial ruin for the third time
Like, if it's over not signing Defoe on a 3 year deal on 120k a week then I'd rather have Parish, he and the Americans cannot be doubted over backing him in January, and FFP actually affects everyone not able to get those dodgy sponsorship deals... Though seems that some are saying he's doing semi retirement, which sounds like bollocks to me after Dowie and Pulis sagas...
I'd rather a chairman actually think of the financial implications anyway then bend to the will of any manager, the club nearly died 7 years ago, and relegation now is an even bigger scare to clubs like Palace...

You speaking like if you had Mark Hughes as manager. Pullis has turned West Brom a club who used to flirt with relegation every season to a established premier league side. He probably would have done the same at Palace, if he was given the support. Big Sam would have done the same. He was speaking about transfer targets the other day, so for him to leave after a meeting with the chairman suggests promises weren't kept.
I can see the chairman not being convinced to hand over the reigns if it was somebody like Mark Hughes after what he did at City or QPR. But Pullis and Big Sam have a very good track record of making teams that were relegation threatened into established premier league teams.
