Good article, it would be great to believe that the club reads it.

Given some of the stupid contracts the club have signed over the past three years I am going to say reading is not their strong suit.

I think they can read - I dare say their comprehension is of low level though.

As you say, the travelling fans have now turned against the manager, after weeks and months of loyal support. At Selhurst on Saturday you heard not just frustration but real anger.

[Ron Manager]

I have no doubt people at the club read messageboards and articles relating to the club. Perhaps even Paul Faulkner has a browse occasionally. But I am beginning to wonder if the supporters who are not season ticket holders mean anything to the buisness people who run the clubs these days. People like me for instance.

There doesnt appear to be any reason I can think off why they should. It is all about money now and that wasn't how things used to be before 1992. Football is no longer run for the working classes and that is a great pity.

[Legion]

Duly FB'd and Tw*ttered.

Best article yet Dave.

Draws attention to how ridiculous this silence and unaccountability that is coming from the club is.

Shut up and buy your tickets, we know what we are doing, even though up to now we've displayed we don't. That's what the clubs PR ammounts to.

The PR people must have a hard job when they know that they will be lambasted because Lerner is not presenting himself to face the music. This silence of his has never been acceptable, right from the start. Now that we are in a mess it is all coming home to roost.

It doesn't have to be him but it should be someone.

One thing I dont get about RL is his unwillingness to do anything thing in the public eye...Why would you buy into an industry with more media attention than most 3rd world civil wars? Not asking for a Dave Whelan by any stretch of the imagination but one interview would put this to bed now. Come out and say you back PL to the hilt, money will be available to drastically improve the squad, tell us the plans and apologise for running our club into the ground through 4years of mismanagement. Ask the fans to keep the faith, tell us the good times are coming and the support will probably rally round.

Or alternatively, stay silent, let PL take the flak and carry on sailing towards oblivion.

Preferably not that twat they sent on WM last season around January time, Derek Doolittle or whatever he was called. Got slaughtered on the phone in and sounded as deluded as Lambert. He kept referring to the Liverpool result, which was our one good result in 8 weeks.

Where's the General? Isn't that footballing no mark still on the board? We need him to reappear to tell us all we are shit in the stands/trenches and surrender is no option.

Careful, Dave. They'll be docking your wages after an outburst like that!

[JUAN PABLO]

A very good article there .

 The only thing I do not  agree on is Palace deserved the win ., as Dave said , Pullis is more inventive than lambert .
