Tony set Gus an ambitious target of finishing 6th after a 10th place finish the season before. We now have a striker who knows where the back of the net is. The play offs this season were a bit like a Grand National , the two joint favourites were overtaken in the last 100 yards by an unfancied...
Have Palace put in a derisory bid (£2M+) to see if Liam or his agent are interested ? They did this with Adomah in the January transfer window but Adomah said he would only sign for a big club.
Of course we would like Winifred on loan as LuaLua and Buckley keep doing their hamstrings , even with the Palace fans saying we're only clapping him because he is a Manchester United player.
We're all waiting for the speciality bets from the bookies , such as Palace to get into double figures points-wise , any Palace player to score 5 or more goals , Palace to concede 100 or more goals in 38 league games.
We never had the chance to go into administration and carry on as though nothing had changed. Keep doing it the "Pompey way" and you'll end up where they are too.
You currently have players in the Palace squad who are no better than League 1 standard and are completely out of their depth. :wink: Knorr want to sponsor you club next season because Palace will be the Premier League laughing stock :thumbsup:
We would have had to reinforce the squad with 8 or 9 new signings to have that small chance of avoiding the immediate drop , on the other hand Palace need 15 odd players just to cover the starting 11 and subs bench.
£60M for finishing bottom of the Premier League and 4 annual parachute payments of £15M. Blackburn are rumoured to have made a £40M loss last season after being relegated from the Premier League.
