[Palace] Holloway admits culpability for shit start, and takes his ball home.

[Icy Gull]

:QUOTE=Icy Gull;5998335]Agreed, he walked away, which makes it even worse. Obviously saw it as a hopeless challenge.

Unlike Gus who...catfight:[[/QUOTE]

I'm not convinced that Gus didn't want to stay by the time he was suspended. Who knows

Brighton attendance boost with phenomenal new stadium = called "plastics"
Palace attendance boost with promotion = ??

Twats?
Muppets?
Chumps?
Mongs?

Yep, the Main Stand is looking beautiful

Hypocrites ?

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Holloway's payoff was rumoured to be £2m as well.

Oh well, that's OK because Palace have an everlasting money tree... they couldn't be doing a more textbook job of screwing up their lottery win.

Over 3 and a half years we do. Plus we also will have made a lot more income this season than had we stayed down. Our crowds are up dramatically so significant increased revenue there. More punters brings increase in food, drink and merchsndise sales. Plus our sponsorship deals are higher as companies are more interested in Premier League teams.

Fair enough, sounds reasonable.


I still reckon Charming is waiting to see whether he'll gamble the whole pot in January on staying up.

If you are in touch, throw the cash at the team. If you are well adrift, develop a stand.

But now you're just being foolish. Have you been on the 'Palace Ale' ?

I genuinely do not think he will, we are what Barber would call CR.

EDIT that is Championship ready, I had to get in before someone added an AP

But you forgot to take off added overheads....it goes both way you know.
Additional Stewards
Additional Met Policing costs( especially the number of police that seem to be on duty for your home games)
Additional ticketig staff costs
Adiditioal merchandising staff costs
Additional food wastage when the hospitality punters get food poisoning because your ground and kitchens are probably sub standard
The list is endless

We know your ground is too big for you, but I'm surprised you admitted it. Well done.

 

[TheMajor]

Any actual plans for redeveloping shithurst yet?

No need. They'll be back to 15-17k next season with 10k "empties".

That is in fact one of the major improvments..CPFC took all the catering back in house and all though more expencive the quality is fantastic. We also supply our own beer as well so the mark up on that goes straight back in the coffers.

If you like proper beer the Cronx and the Kernal are very good BTW.

A new manager on Premier League wages will cost a bit...

 

[Seagull over Canaryland]

I know their joint press conference was a big PR exercise and credit to them for saying nice things about each other rather than just show him to the revolving door. But for Parish to suggest Holloway could have kept on taking the money and stayed as manager seems to overlook that he bottled the job and is allegedly walking away with £2m.

Holloway did show some humility by acknowledging that he should have kept their promotion squad together, but his scatter gun transfer approach had a real whiff of panic about it and highlighted his limitations for a so called experienced manager. I'm sure Parish will be disappointed that the wheels have fallen off the Holloway bus so fast.

I'm not an admirer of Holloway (never have been) as a footie manager but he does deserve great respect for coping with the difficulties in his family life in a dignified manner. It was a really cheap shot for certain so called Palace fans to abuse him about his family after that game.

Those costs would be dwarfed by the profits we are making as a Premier League club in terms of our gates and match day sales. I know it still hurts that we went up at your expense and hit the jackpot as a result but deary me, now you're getting desperate!

You went up at our expense

Nice re-writing of history.

No, you got to Wembley at our expense, but thanks for your confidence that we would have beaten Watford

Tony Pulis not interested in the Palace job

"A source close to the former Stoke City boss says he rates and admires the way the club is run but isn’t keen to commit himself to taking the job, if it were offered, because of Palace’s lowly points tally and the gap that has already opened up between the bottom two and the rest of the division."

 

[Del Fenner]

Agreed, he walked away, which makes it even worse. Obviously saw it as a hopeless challenge.

So why does the thread title say SACKED? Is this some cartoon version of Palace that NSC is constructing? Or is accuracy just not very important?

 

[Blue Valkyrie]

Re: Holloway SACKED. [Merged threads]

If Palace have given up on staying up and want a man for next season and beyond then they should be looking at appointing Chris Powell.

But obviously I hope they are not that sensible and appoint someone like Grant.
