Have they no shame? Although I suppose they have only been around since 2010 so early days and plenty of time to mess things up.

If you actually read the article rather then dismiss it, you’ll notice he talks some sense.
How refreshing that a chairman from a lower club stands up to the elite clubs.

If you actually understood what irony meant you wouldn't have commented as irony was the theme of the OP, not whether he was sensible or not in his comments.

What have the previous admins got to do with him?
Are ALL Palace fans to blame ?

The entire article hasn't been dismissed. This is the start of the article:

'The thing with football clubs,' says Steve Parish, 'is that they're very resilient. If you go back 150 years you won't find 100 tie companies that are still in business. But almost all of the football clubs, one way or another, still are.'
When a football club (like his) screws over its creditors and by going into administration, that's not a sign of great resilience.

He also says "there's not a supporter out there who doesn't want an owner to spend frivolously."
Whilst many fans don't care, you'll find a great many fans of clubs like ours (and by ours, I mean Brighton, not Brighton and Palace, because we're quite different) do care and do want to live within our means. We would be happy if we had our own ground and were playing within our means in a lower division. As it happens, we have an owner who is confident he can make the club financially viable in the Premier League, so we're delighted by that. But we don't want frivolous spending, we're not Palace.

He seems to be saying that Bury got into trouble because they 'lived beyond their means' and that it all starts with 'over-spending'. Just remind us of his record on this at Palace then?

What grates is that non of you give a shit that you went into admin twice and seem to wear it as a badge of honour. Don’t ever recall a Palace fan saying it is no way to run a football club or showing the least bit of concern for those who got shafted or the fact that they have cheated their way to being where they are now.

You are clearly not vaguely embarrassed by it either.

Maybe a bit of recognition that Albion suffered big time in the league by not going into admin would have been good rather than the mind the gap gloating as you cheated to stay above us. All I see and read now is envy of TB and bollocks stories about how much in debt we are.

Oh and Parish is a massive cock, Palace through and through in attitude too

Crystal Palace were placed in administration by Agilo over a debt of £4m. How much debt do Brighton and Hove Albion currently have?

What is Steve Parish's record at Palace?
