Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has come under fire after using a supporters internet chat forum to threaten a fan with legal action.
Parish became embroiled in a bitter war of words with a Palace fan posting as 'LLCOOLSTEVE' after being accused of lying about the clubs intentions with regard to the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding £55m-rated Palace starlet Wilfried Zaha.
Posting as 'CPFC2010', the name of the consortium which rescued the club from administration, Parish last night wrote the ominous warning: "Call me a liar on here once more, insinuate you know something that I know you don't or just isn't true and you better start saving your pocket money for a LAWYER, right ?".
Other fans were quickly simpering with delight at the Palace chairman's public display of strength, posting numerous messages of support, but not everyone was impressed. Crystal Palace Supporters Club chairman Rikki Runnacles said of the spat: "It's not the sort of thing you want the chairman getting involved with to be honest. We have a number of very challenged supporters who are still allowed unsupervised access to computers. When they're not browsing squirrel porn or masturbating furiously to this seasons latest penalties montage on YouTube, inevitably some of them find their way onto these fans forums which gives them a public platform on which they often excrete their confused drivel".
"Most of the time its harmless cack" he went on, "but one particular spud has really got under the skin of our Disney Prince chairman, who unfortunately decided the best way to deal with it would be to publically bully and humiliate him in front of a braying bunch of sycophantic arsehats".
The explosive row has seemingly been diffused after Palace co-owner Steve Browett later posted that he had resolved the matter with the crazed fan in a telephone conversation last night. But the saga has done little to dispel Palace's "joke club" image amongst football fans in general, with their comedy Worzel Gummidge manager, slum ground, slag cheerleaders, vile kit and dwindling support.
Steve Parish in contemplative mood yesterday. "Should I have sed them fings ?"
...and Rikki is Nikita's brother yes?
