[Palace] Palace just signed some geezer for six million....

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

The good thing about the Nigels spunking £8m on a player is that Dagenham get £1m out of the deal so will keep them going.

Also helps out Peterborough, so its a good news story. They should both do well next season.

 

[Buckley's Mad Eye]

Must be more than that - have you seen him? Looks about 12!

Cashew nuts?

 

[Hillian1]

It is the former. I'm trying to have an honest discussion. Naturally will fight my corner as a Palace fan, but am being upfront and happy to field any points.

What is the point that I am missing?

The point that it wasn't his companies fault he was goonered, it was another one who are today still happily going about their business.

Anyway, you weren't the first and won't be the last. My major gripe with it is it doesn't seem to bother any of you.

Back on topic though, any other guesses for how much young Dwight will cost Palace?

Let me swing it around and ask how much you going to pay in wages and signing on fee for this one?

Are you not more concerned about how successive £9m a year loss posting, job cutting, Championship club Brighton are going to pay signing on fees, wages or transfer fees for anyone? Perhaps the Bridcutt money will come in handy.

Hello rylans/tarquins how are we today, still ******* furiously over the fact that we have spent some money on gayle (I say some money as we will never know the final figure)

Administration does bother me. More than you I suspect. Brighton fans, in the main, don't really seem to give a toss about administration. They don't really complain about the other clubs (can't remember the number, but think it's around 50) who have been in administration. They still shop at high street shops that have been in administration. It is, for the most part, a tired act behind which lies the most tedious hypocrisy. Palace fans do this kind of pointless baiting too of course, with Brighton over the fact that you "didn't care enough" to stop your ground being taken out from underneath you. That is clearly nonsense, just as the notion that we somehow used administration as a tactic, or that we somehow "cheated". Jordan was a fool, but he was running the club fine till he got screwed from two angles at once (the collapse of ITV digital, and the company that owned the ground raising the rent). Now that's business of course, but running an overdraft and paying bills on the last day of the month is hardly unusual in business. At the point we got into financial difficulty, Jordan cut the cloth. Down to the bone. He was trying (hoping really) to get the club back on a financial sure footing, yet Brighton fans seem to think that he should have done something different? Yet whenever I ask what should have been done differently there is no answer.

My suspicion is that Brighton fans don't care about the creditors. They would have been happy if we had gone bust and didn't even receive a penny. That's the hypocrisy I find nauseating. Pretending to care about those who lost out, while at the same time being gutted that we didn't go bust and that they were screwed even more.

As for redundancy/sacking - is it some way more admirable that it IS Brighton's fault that those people are losing their jobs? Does that give them more comfort?

I don't think he'll be putting on his football boots for anything less than £40K a week

I am not concerned at all thank you very much and very confident that Bloom and Barber will soon have it all under control. But thanks for asking. Now can you get back to your glory hole that you so love.

Not at all. I for one am very happy with your current spending and I can't wait to see just how much you also plan to spend on the slum, now that will be interesting.

 

[we-8-brighton]

Carlton Cole apparently at selhurst at the mo, wonder how long it's going to take you rylans to start a thread on that. Ok I won't tarnish all you tarquins but I bet the major is at the ready, I see the sad prat already started yet another thread about us.

Now there's a man who would be looking for a good signing on fee and wages. 40k a week at Hammers I think.

What is a Rylan?

Well he's been released and been round the premiership blocks a few times, It all comes down to what a player is willing to accept long gone are the days a player was just happy to be earning a wage and putting his boots on for a match.

I'm sure every player is looking for a good signing on fee and wages. Like any other player, he will ultimately be subject to his market value.

The annoying **** from Essex who now dominates the TV.
No in seriousness you suck up to millwall and use the term Nigel we affectionately call you rylans and tarquins

 

[gripper stebson]

He's a chap off the telly who is gay. Very clever stuff from this particular Palace oddball.

 

[Sam Ovett]

But what about 'Stripey Nigels'? Are we the 'Stripey Tarquins' as that has a ring to it?
