 Rather than just copying other people's posts you could do a little research and if you did you would find plenty of interviews where Parish has admitted that remaining in the Premiership is his top priority There is a difference between having it as a priority and stating that all he wants is survival. Palace are in that group of clubs for whom it is a race for 36-38 points and anything else is a bonus.

Your first sentence seems to deny that survival isn't Parish's priority yet your second sentence seems to contradict the first

What do you expect him to say, we all know relegation means a loss of £100m +, then a total restructuring of the club. The club can slowly grow whilst in the Premier and possibly attract further investment, relegation would stop that dead.

You then quoted him as saying that staying in the Premier League is a priority. I think it's reasonable to have that as a priority but I don't think it's all that he wants. So that race to the points I mentioned is the priority but the ambition is a top ten finish.

The question was "would Rafa come to Palace" and my response was along the lines of him having greater ambition than Palace

Fair enough, it's a lot of money on offer.

 please explain why they are ridiculous, Primarily, because all those clubs have the pulling power and funds to replace top players. We have neither.

 If you want to bang on about SP I’m sure there’s a thread or two for that where you can air your dislikes..
