You want to watch you don't get a nose bleed being so high up on that horse.
6th season in the prem and only managed to finish above us by 4pts? Better watch the spending this season and try and plug that big hole in midfield. [emoji106]
oh well what more can you say.

And was a scam?
Thats the funny thing, at the moment they are weaker than they were at the end of the season. It would be funny if they did sell Townsend as well. In Dougie they trust (blindly).

It's the one question I don't know if he or any of them answered:
"Where were you when you were shit?"

The fact is they need to sell to raise funds and shift wages. Someone mentioned a house of cards..

Thats how I understand it. I don't think they are in trouble, just a change of tact. Even when they had money to spend, their last few transfer window weren't great. Infact the January window (Dougies first) they bought 3 players in and I think they made 4 appearances between them.

Obviously no Groupon offer
Depends what you call "in trouble". I'm not saying they're heading for admin number 3 by any stretch (unless they get relegated). But surely any Premier League club that is technically losing money without selling players (and only has one player "asset" that they could feasibly sell for decent money, possibly) is at best being run very badly.
We don't know if they did have much money to spend in the last couple of windows. Remember that the accounts we've seen are the June 2017 ones. Who knows what state the 2018 ones are in but I don't recall them getting many big fees in for players in the last year.
They are expecting to make a loss in the next set of accounts. We have basically swapped situations with them. Their American owners are going to have to put a few hundred million into the club if they want Selhurst park done (not just 1 stand), It seems like they have just bought goals in Beckenham for their Academy. Estimates are in the region of £10m just to buy it and buy out the contracts of other businesses on the site. Say £30-£40m to build the academy. Ofcourse they are doing it with real shares in Palace and we done it with fake shares.
Have I missed the palace post along the lines of:-
'yeah but whatabout the time it rained in Brighton'.

If you mean Winifred, good use of the word 'possibly'. Given his failure at ManUre and recent declarations of wanting to stay where he is, he would be a high risk purchase.

Always makes me laugh, this one.
Palace fans genuinely believe that their support is so MASSIVE, so HUGE, so LEGENDARY that they'd actually be queuing round the block to pack out an open air municipal athletics track in the 4th division, on a wet Tuesday night against Rochdale. They'd have it packed to the RAFTERS, so they would (despite the fact that their ground was always half empty in the Championship). Bring this to their attention, and they'll start bragging about how they've never "sunk to that level" in the league. Bring to their attention that their position in the top 2 divisions was only artificially achieved through then wanton theft of multi-multi-multi millions from their unsecured creditors (twice), and they'll come out with some old mealy-mouthed bollocks about how BHA didn't settle 100% of the £6m owed when the Goldstone was sold.
Delusional whataboutery weasels, the lot of them.
That is hilarious [emoji23]
