On the subject of the Chairmen I was just having a look (laugh) at the thread where they get to ask the board questions. There are some truly banal questions asked... however if TB was on here I am sure he'd get bombarded with all sorts on nonsense too!
Anyhow, in one post one of the owners...
I see. Are you one of the chaps who also told us Clyne was going for £3.5m and 'only to a top four club'?
Maybe, just maybe these youngsters aren't quite as good as you think they are... just a thought.
Yep - a fans favourite.

The best post being:
"To slow for this division and Brighton would of offered him more money if they thought he was good enough."
I'll do you a deal.
We won't forget where we came from if you stop giving us prudence based financial advice...given your own history of doing exactly the opposite ;)
You may be correct however what 'that lot' have done is knuckled down and taken us well above your bunch of seemingly under-achieving super stars this season... which of course doesn't matter!!
We have produced first teamers Adam El Abd, Tommy Elphick (before his injury), Lewis Dunk and more recently the VERY promising Jake Forster Caskey. Just because we have not sold them to Wigan or Bolton for a million quid does not make them any less valuable than your world class academy products.
Apparently League tables only matter if you finish in the top six or the bottom three now. Us finishing above them is totally irrelevant according to many on the BBS.
You have to admire Palace fans really. They come on here and tell us that they have the best keeper in the division, the best...
