by the way BG cooper and crumplin were with lloyd at the same time - i saw a double substitution when they came on and half the crowd walked out!.. whilst at the palace at the same time, Ian wright was banging the goals in

Which goes to prove that Cooper and Crumplin were not signed INSTEAD of Wright and Keane, as you insinuate in your post, as they were both on trial some 5 years earlier.

mate you miss the point, i wont say it again but read the posts above. We failed in the 80s as palace rebuilt. palace have produed more than we have and we turned down ian wright - results resuts results. ive had enough of this club with this catchment area failing.

 

[BensGrandad]

absolutely, we cant sign everone and that is why the club pays managers, coahes and talent scouts. We had first dibs on Roy Keane and Ian Wright, instead they signed up Geoff Cooper and John Crumplin. There we go, but how things might have been different

That was what I was alluding to as Cooper and Crumplin were not signed instead of Wirght and Keane as they were both on trial 5 years before Cooper and Crumplin were playing.

yep and why?No tanks its 3 ex footballers trying to learn a professional job too many already. They got paid to pay football ater that its up to them to sot out their own job, just like you and me. No more favours. Lets have professionals in the office and doing the selling please. No more ex bloody footballers please! You wouldnt ask Richard Branson to kick a ball about or Gazza to build a business.

Would that be the same Paul Rogers who worked in the City until he became a professional footballer at the age of 25? He is now employed in the finance department having gone back to doing something close to his original job.

Oh and on professional footballers building businesses that Dave Whelan hasn't done too badly has he.

really, well the same paul rogers can start pulling his finger out and start thinking and implementing a marketing stratey to get more than 6K through the door then hadnt he? Dave Whelan is the exception rather than the rule I think you would agree. Its not the players fault its just they have never used their brain and so to ask them to do so for the first time in a responsible selling job is just not clever is it? Lets have footballers that can play football and business / selling people to sell the club to Sussex eh.

 

[sir albion]

Its time cox went as he has had far to many chances and is far to inconsistant

You've got an incredibly narrow view of what people's capabilities are, do you expect everybody to stay in the job they had when they were fresh out of education? Ever heard of people retraining later on life to move on in another direction?

Francis Lee is another successful businessman post football (recycled toilet rolls), and former Blackburn and MIddlesbrough winger Stuart Ripley has just qualified to become a lawyer (Article). Others will run businesses that may not make millions but give them and their families a comfortable lifestyle; Gerry Ryan ran a pub, Chris Cattlin a rock shop, ex-Spurs and Wales manager Mike England even owned and ran a nursing home.

No I dont mate, I just expect footballers, like the rest of us, to stand on their own two feet after they have stopped kicking a ball around. Why should we employ Gary Hart, Guy Butters ect? We paid them to play football, now lets recruit on merit for the work that goes to selling this club to sussex not because they played football for us,
