Does anybody else think the pain and misery of last season has all been worth it to be where we are right now. I genuinely think we are on the verge of a golden time for Palace.

You get the impression that there is no way OG will be waiting until after the season starts and the last gasp deal of the day on transfer deadline day for any players coming or going. I think he will have everything in place by the kick off of the new season.

This is so un Palace like that it almost feels like a different club.
I just turned on Sky Sports news and in the yellow banner it appears we are about to sign Daichi Kamada from Lazio and Chadi Riad from Barcelona... when were we ever this early before, the window hasn't even opened yet.

I don't think last season was particularly painful or miserable compared to many over the past fifty odd years.

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

I think we are in a good position, but we are still a small club punching above our weight, it seems the gold nuggets we have are Glasner and Freedman, you have to know when to sell as well as buy, i think Olise and Guehi should be sold 120m, Hopefully Ryad and Kamada will sign in the region of 13m for the pair, which hopefully lets Freedman find 2/3 more 15m bargains to keep up the fine work that is being done.

One thing is for sure SP is now an experienced owner/director and has listened to OG. IMO OG has asked for and getting the deals done early and in our price range, I suspect we will see a "big name" departure to balance the books but we are doing the business early so we are not held to ransom later on in the window!! Love what I am seeing and COYP

How true, intelligent successful businessman, but like Simon Jordan before him he had to learn as he was going along how to run a football club. The premier league probably came along quicker than expected so to still be here 11 years later pretty comfortably most seasons as well is incredible really.
Plus what I like about him is that we know we’re probably going to lose a top player or two, but he won’t let them go without a fight and for peanuts, we learnt this from his stance over a few windows with Wilf

Well Bugger Me
