Murray to Palace

[7:18]

the timing is very strange indeed, really don't want to believe it so have a "wait and see" attitude with the Murray situation

 

[Bwian]

Players move on-the only constant at a football club is us fans.

Gus doesn't appear too worried so I'm not. Thanks for the goals Glen, enjoy Croydon.

 

[Rookie]

Thinking about it Palace are by no means secure in the Championship can you really see Murray committing to a club who might be league 1 next season?

 

[clapham_gull]

I would be GUTTED if he left.

Don't think Gus will though, which I find more reassuring.

 

[Mellotron]

Yep - he will get a signing on fee.

We are not going to play players more than they are worth - there is a difference and we won't have a problem attracting players next season.

True however players as good as Murray don't just grow on trees, are not always looking for a move, and aren't always coming to the end of their contracts. He would DEFINITELY be missed if he goes.

 

[¤DãŃn¥ §êãGüLL¤]

if this is true then fair enough. footballers can do what they want if they are out of contract. but look at it this way:

selhurst or amex?
croydon or brighton?
ikea or the beach?
freedman or poyet?
team on the down or team on the up?
club with limited future or a club with massive potential?

whatever murray's decision... Poyet clearly knows what he's doing. In Gus we Trust!

Yeah but the Whitgift's better then Churchill Sq. And that's what'll swing it.

Palace aren't going to be relegated.

 

[Brighton Breezy]

People need some sense of context about this though.

He HAS NOT agreed anything yet. Palace are looking at him and talking about an offer. That does not mean he will leave.

He is happy at the club, doing well, and going places. Chances are he will also get a tidy pay rise here, where he is settled.

I think he will STAY.

 

[Jukesy]

How can they afford to do that when they've just come out of Administration? Surely they haven't been able to pay back all their old debts already? (And yes I know that's not how it works, just making a point).

I must admit I will give a hollow laugh if that happens. I SAID they should have gone bust and been forced to re-form and start again at the bottom of the pyramid.

Palace fan here.

Congrats, looking forward to next season.

This article is probably one of those ones started by his agent in an attempt to get the deal he wants at BHA - who knows.

As an aside and just so you know, the minute we came out of admin (July 10) we were debt free. That's how it works, the new owners buy the club and the deal includes a percentage to the creditors (1p in the £) who get paid immediately. Ours got the club and ground for approx £6milliion and start with no debt, no high earners hence making us one of the most financially stable clubs in the division - albeit without sugar-dady owners if you see what I mean?

Maybe not but they cannot be sure at the moment. Not looked at the run in but they are 4th bottom currently

 

[Sam Ovett]

Oooh, cheers WJ, the article just made it sound definite. If it is just an offer like you say then I too reckon he will stay. Thanks for putting my mind at ease for now

 

[Kazenga <3]

If we can't afford/refuse to pay players like sexy glenn then how the hell are we supposed to sign players better than him?

Agree, agree, agree

I think he will be an idiot to move. Especially to Palace where he will likely as not be in a relegation fight, with worse service, having to win over the crowd.

Also what Bwian said - if Gus is not that bothered, neither am I.

All true, so seems a bit strange tbh. However 2, or in this case 6 minus' make a plus?? Me thinks the agent is

thanks for the congrats.

This. Negotiations with GM and other players wouldn't have started until we confirmed which division we would be in next season.

Yes we see.

We see that you are dirty f***ing cheats who have f***ed over your creditors twice in recent years and are nowproudly 'financially stable'. That's what we see.

Conversely, isn't exactly that what the tabloid journalists do each day, and are paid very high salaries for? Whilst NSC is going into meltdown over this, I barely think in the scope of this guy's career it would make much difference if he secretly posted one un-sourced story.

Fair point. I tend to think the source is Murray's agent - presumably now promotion confirmed the club can begin negotiating and signing contracts on the basis of increased revenue. Would be the perfect time to release a story about a potential move to Palace to extract a grand or two more a week from Bloom.
