In better news, Warnock is staying on after being given assurances his entire squad will not be depleted. Moses and a couple of others will go and I'd like to think we can stay up with this in mind. Sorry lads, looks like you might need a promotion before you can mix it with the 'big boys'...
I think we were expecting to get £5m plus for Moses before we went into administration, but I'd be amazed if we got more than £3m now, plus maybe some add-ons. We may have to sell a couple from Ambrose, Danns, Speroni and Clyne who, let's face it, are the only players we have that could raise...
In the cold light of the early hours of the morning I'm not quite sure I'm as optimistic as I was yesterday. The result tonight aside, we were expecting Newcastle to beat us regardless of our financial plight (though we more than matched them from the reviews I've heard from my mates), but the...
I'm not sure, but I believe there is some legislation in place at the moment that means that Selhurst can only be used for recreational and leisure purposes only. I'm not sure if that is a permenent position or not.
You have been mislead here. When Goldberg bought the club he didn't have enough capital to buy the club including the ground. I think the deal was £40m with club and ground but Goldberg could only raise £30m. Noades said he'd keep the ground until you raise more capital. In the end it turned out...
This was forced administration of course, I think how this affects us long term depends on 1) the type of investor we can get, 2) how quickly they buy the club, 3) the plausbility of uniting club and ground and 4) how many players we can keep. I genuinelly believe if we stave off relegation this...
Yeah I know, he hasn't covered himself in glory. The current thinking on this is that he got a mortgage to cover his own expenses. I.e. replace his money in the club with outside money. He knew the ship was sinking, so got his assets, or as much as he could, out when he could.
I believe they are secured on future player sales. Therefore, no substantial offers for Moses, Ambrose, Speroni etc., no money in. Another sign of Jordan's incompetent business-sense.
It's a tough one. Noades has to take some responsibility for the way we went into administration last time, but the actual facts are unclear. The one thing Noades was and always will be is a shrewd businessman. Under Noades we had the most successful period in our history (FA Cup final, ZDS Cup...
It was Paul Kemsley, an ex-Director of Tottenham who owned Rock. And he was mates with Alan Sugar and not Noades. Jordan had and still had (until today) a buy-back option on the ground but obviously due to the club's predicament and his own personal issues he obviously couldn't afford it. The...
No, Noades has nothing to do with Rock. Rock was the company that bought Selhurst off Noades a few years back, a company that Jordan used to get the ground off Noades. Noades made an offer for the ground a couple of weeks ago, but any decision will be accelerated one way or another with today's...
Though, ironically. Noades has set the wheels in motion to buy the ground back, sparking speculation that he is setting up a consortium to buy the club. This one is going to run and I have no idea what's going to happen.
Noads doesn't own the ground, neither does Ron Noades. The ground was bought by Rock Comapny and that company is now in administration with debts of £500m. Please get your facts right.
Entirely different causes, one is a charitable walk and football is surely irrelevant when it comes to a good cause. Falmer was about the wellbeing and future survival of your football club. We supported you then and on your Fans United day. That's my point.
Yeah it would be funny for a minute or so, but then I'd be more worried to see if you were going under. Behind Palace, you'd be the last club I'd want to see go under, and because I like you, because I hate you, and that's why I want you in the same league as us, with loads of your Tesco bags at...
I can understand that, but it's help from football fans helping to save another club go under. You know, I wouldn't ask for help from Bri.ghton fans, but we would accept it with gratitude. Afterall what is Palace without Brighton and vice versa? Personally the ecstacy of McAnuff's last minute...
Ask any Palace fan if they wanted Brighton to go under, they'd say no. I want them to be in a similar league position to us, with similar resources, similar fanbase, similar aspirations and playing each other every season. What's the point having a rivalry if one, it doesn't exist, two, it's not...
