[Palace] Parish Marketing Rant...can anyone post on BBS?

[Dougie]

I love how you all jump on the moral high ground, as if we INTENTIONALLY went out our way to screw people over. What happened was unfortunate but it wasn't intentionally immoral. Both admins were due to a mixture of bad business planning and unfortunate circumstances (a recession, relegation from the Premiership, a loan company calling in a debt all in one go etc etc)

.

Good post , the funny thing is that they can't see what they have been given and that they have had massive gifts which in this day and age is pretty unheard of ( to good to be true some might say ) . We will have to live with our past but look to the future and the future looks rather promising . I'm glad we have 4sensible owners and the club is being run as a role model for clubs who don't have the fortune of having a sugar daddy to fund them .

we are in for some top players

Let me know when you actually sign them.

Let me know when you actually sign them.

You all said this in January then we signed Ledley, Dann, Ince, Hennersey and Puncheon on the last day, all players that are very decent for any bottom half Premiership team.

We will leave it late to get best vfm, we do things on the quiet so you will hear about it when we do .

You said "We are", not "We were". I'm talking about now. This window.

whilst we are in for some top players to play in an already decent side that finished 11th last year. The gap feels like it is getting wider and wider each day, especially when you hear the huge amounts of cash Prem teams are now banking with the new Sky and BT TV deals. I can understand why it must hurt to be fair.

You've only signed 1 player who'll be in a 25 named squad and that was Campbell (apart from a rookie goalie who was released by Blackpool ) because he turned down personal terms at Leicester as they wouldn't pay him more than £35k a week. Even Gnabry at Arsenal doesn't want to slum it at Selhurst and would rather be a benchwarmer at The Emirates.

Genuine question: Do you think it works as a tactic for the club? You signed a lot of people last summer, but were they early or later in the window? Interesting to know if that was part of the early season struggles for you or other factors played a part.

It appears that the aim for last years accounts is to get under the £8 mill deficit to conform with FFP .
So how is revenue going to be increased ?
Ulloa's money will certainly help, but with attendances peaked, and investment in the team looking to be League 1 players and Premier League loanees and freebees, it doesn't inspire confidence does it ?
I think Sami will have his work cut out to reach the playoffs this season.

We will see soggy , how's your player recruitment going ? Will o'grady fill the void of gladallover ?

You don't like what you read as it's the truth/reality.

No, you're a prize cock. I'm just curious as to if you put effort into it or not.

Holloway .

Was he the only reason for it? Did the number of players or the timing of the transfers have an any effect or was it all at his door?

Last time I looked, there was a month to go till the window shuts.

My point was that in the last window we managed to make some decent signings late on so we obviously have a recent history of doing our business this way. Pulis was well known for it in his Stoke days as he feels you get better value for money.

With getting promoted so late we were playing catch up and we panicked with transfers . Some worked some didn't but that is a fact for most clubs but because we bought in so many it looked like a shambles ( it probably was ) when tony came in he bought with him a steady head who didn't panic when the window was closing . I expect the same this window so I won't be wetting my knickers and making them go all soggy .

Palace have been linked to about a dozen players in the last month , they've either signed for another Premier League club or shown total disinterest in a move.

I can think of Caulker, Sigurdsoon and Gnabry. Care to list the other 9? As I said, judge us at the end of the window, I think your be in for a surprise or 2...
