Quote Eating the Burger at 27 Jan 2014 8.16pm A win tomorrow night and a couple of solid signings before the deadline friday and it'll hopefully silence all the nonsense surrounding Pulis and the board and we can all get on with supporting the lads for the final run in. [Link] Top post 100% agree.

Its all lies, they don't know what they're talking about, not a shred of evidence, etc, etc and (at the time these stories broke) there was equal amount (or equal lack) of evidence to back up the report.

I will say one thing though. The truth could very very easily have been what we all dreaded hearing, that TP was indeed sick of his targets getting missed/overlooked or going elsewhere for more money/better terms and decided he wanted out. I'm so glad TP sees a long term project here that he can get his teeth in to and that he wants to see the job through. I'm also glad you turned out to be right. For all Palace fans sake as well as your ego. We should have a game of poker some time I dunno, not everything in the papers is true, regardless of Palace news. The difference with the Ian Wright story was that we'd missed out on Europe and everyone knew he had a clause in his contract with regards to European competition offered elsewhere. The difference with the Bruce story was that Jordan had form for p1ssing people off good and proper. He had Steve Coppell in the manager's seat 100% of Palace fans wanted him in. But instead of getting down to business and trying to iron out any issues he/they may have had, Jordan got all Al Capone whenever possible. I don't know about admin instructed by Agilo. I knew that Jordan had stretched himself and Palace over £20mil, he entered the Spanish property market nearer the top of the market and it nosedived. We kept signing players for £800k here, £1mil, £2mil there, and revenue only went up when ST's were sold way in advance. Once 9,000 people were all signed up, done. In short, papers have told lies for ages. The whole thing didn't add up. TP, SP & co would've spoken regarding budgets at interview and meetings. It wouldn't have surprised him that we would not offer £50k per week. The other thing was that Etherington hasn't played football for ages. Would TP want to blow a load of his budget there? Doubtful. He has also quashed rumours that he (TP) was in for Jelavic and Long. That's not interfering in football, that's black and white facts of money and business. All could be easily argued upside down and back to front to suit your point of view as I knew you would. You remind me of an ex girlfriend from years back! I don't think anyone really referred to Etherington when discussing the newspaper report. Just the general message that TP was going to quit. That's what I was banging on about anyway. The actual player(s) TP wanted (or didn't) were pretty irrelevant IMO The paragraph highlighted though I'll correct you on. Bruce did not replace Coppell. Smith did. The report about the administration rumour (that turned out to be true) I was referring to Goldburg's reign which as when proved correct turned out to be a shock to everyone but I have no doubt you are going to say you knew that report was going to be true (despite not even Palace staff believing it at first) you funny little man you!

What will be the next yarn that they come out with?

On Sunday morning there were murmurings that it is not in the newspapers' interests to print lies. You'd have to be about 8 to believe that.

Hmm, while I am absolutely delighted that the reports of four Sunday Nationals were incorrect it is very easy to be smug after the event Rudi.

The paragraph highlighted though I'll correct you on. Bruce did not replace Coppell. Smith did.
The report about the administration rumour (that turned out to be true) I was referring to Goldburg's reign which as when proved correct turned out to be a shock to everyone but I have no doubt you are going to say you knew that report was going to be true (despite not even Palace staff believing it at first) you funny little man you!

Three pages and I still can't work out exactly how you can "slam" a rumour? Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

I know the order of Palace managers. Perhaps I should've put in a paragraph break, it's a little easier to follow. Yep, the Goldberg admin was a surprise, but not a complete surprise the way money was being chucked about very early involving Venables who isn't as straight as they come, came very expensively, and ultimately didn't give a sh1te.
