Syd, please don't allow your degree and your perceived idea that you have some kind of superiority over people because you run your own business cloud the issue. Businesses are designed to make money. Profit. I may not have a degree but in this system of capitalism that is the primary concern of a business, to make money.

Simon Jordan, at one time in his life had a great deal of business acumen, as did Mark Goldberg. Football fcuked this up for them. Can't you get this into your head, or does your business acumen blind you from the realities cpfc 2010 face.

In one breath you reckon SJ had no business sense. In the other you want cpfc 2010 to behave exactly like a Goldberg/Jordan to deliver you with the signings you want, without considering the long term picture.

I trust cpfc 2010 and thank Christ you're not in charge. It's egos like yours that saw our club almost die not long back.

This and this alone anybody who says different doesn't have a business


But almost everything we have seen, at Palace and at 90% of professional clubs, clearly shows that football does not follow the standard business model. The main motivation of most owners of football clubs is not profit - it is either genuine support or a vanity trip (personal or corporate). Of course the aim should be to run clubs on a sound business footing, but we are competing in a market where that is not the case.

Pick the bones out of this, boys.

“I think we need to bring in four or five players and I’m not talking about spending money on one of them that is extortionate,” said the boss.

“I’m talking about trying to bring players in who have a little bit of experience in the Premier League but also have something to prove.

“That is something very, very important for us because it’s a good group. It’s a smashing group of players here, they’ve worked their socks off for one another.

“We don’t want to bring in people here who are going to stroll around. We want people coming in here who will roll their sleeves up and have a good for us.

“You can go on and on and on about the players who might be available, who might be moving here or there.

“You haven’t got long now to wait to see who we bring in and what we bring in. Just be a little bit patient.”

And Pulis has insisted any new players Palace manage to bring in will be his choice, not from those above him at board level.

He said: “I’ve come to the football club and I like to pick my own players. If I have to pick players on a certain budget, I will do so.

“We have got irons in the fire. We’re just hoping that one or two things will drop for us. The important thing is that everybody understands and recognises the task ahead.

“We have done fantastically well over the last few months, but that’s just the start of it. We know our level and what we can and what we can’t do do.

“I accepted that when I came into the football club. We have to work really hard to get the best that we can get and then get it organised and up and running.”

So what does this/he say?

1. Be patient.

2. I pick the players, if it's within a budget, I work within it.

3. We have to allow for the usual January window shenanigans to allow the deals to happen.

4. He knew what he was joining up for and that a lot of work is needed to maximise ability/talent from budget. (Probably not sign the most obvious and convenient transfer that's presented/available)


That's excellent to hear, cheers for posting Rudi.
