Crystal Palace today bid 100 million pounds for the AMEX Stadium in Falmer, Brighton.
After days of speculation concerning them signing every available member of their rivals squad, it was confirmed that the stadium bid has gone in.
A statement from the club said the following:
‘In the absence of our ability to tempt away any more members of their squad, we felt that if we put in a bid for the Amex the players would feel more at home..’
‘The problem we have is that no-one wants to come to this neck of the woods, which we can’t understand, there are some perfectly nice Burger Bars.’
The 100 million pound bid may run into problem with funding though.
‘We’ve got the Zaha money; it’s the rest we need to source. We’ve been told that we may get as much as £50,000 for Selhurst Park though, which was a pleasant surprise.’
In other developments, Tony Bloom, the Brighton Chairman, is believed to be in hospital. Reports from the club indicate that he was taken in on Saturday night.
‘It’s nothing to worry about’ said a family member ‘but It was touch and go yesterday, it’s just that when he received the Liam Bridcutt bid it looked like he was going to die laughing….’
It has been revealed that the £5 million bid for Leo Ulloa is a hoax though.
‘We wouldn’t be so stupid to try and sign a striker with any quality at this stage,’ said Ian Holloway ‘Apart from the odd long ball and a very accommodating Sunderland defence, they would get rather cold standing around in mid-December waiting for action’.
