I do not think the reason they are not accepting our offers is because of BFS. After all it is defenders we are after and BFS is supposedly an expert in defending and you would have thought players would like to learn from his so called expertise. I think it is down to money. SP will probably be trying to cover himself in any contract he offers by covering the eventuality of relegation and therefore wage reductions. As all players are mercenaries it has to be a major stumbling block. I'm afraid you are correct, this is the price we are paying for allowing AP to fail for so long, he should have gone in May 2016 and then maybe it would a different storey. Now we have to live with it and hope SP & SA can persuade some decent players to come in but it will not be easy as we are finding out!

If you think you can get a contract without relegation clauses then why agree to a contract with one? Where I don't like things is a player like Jenkinson. Just f off and watch your career turn to slurry. He's lacking confidence, hasn't played for ages and wants a pay rise. Avoid.

When we are desperate like right now and are in relegation fight selling clubs/agents will simply jack up prices. Even we are willing to pay over the odds there is still no guarantee we would stay up like QPR did 4 seasons ago.

I don't think relegation clauses are particularly unusual anymore, players as much as clubs like to have them so I can't see that being the issue. I think we are a victim of a still woeful scoutIng set up and FFP. I have made it clear I am not a fan of Allardyce but I think to his credit he has a history of getting in decent players.

Players are not stupid....they can smell the stench of relegation. Read BFS article in today's mail about the impact of relegation....hardly fills you with confidence.

I would think that having BFS as our manager and the way he keeps on about the players being crap and not good enough has something to do with new players steering clear of joining us. If he kept quiet and did what managers are meant to do and that is install some confidence and passion into the players and make them paly like a team. Our players must be feeling really low with the way BFS keeps telling them they are sh1te. I do not think that helps in any way whatsoever and he needs to change the record IMO.
Supported Palace for over 69 years since the age of 7 and have seen all the ups and downs and will probably see many more ups and downs before I go up to the big football club in the sky. |
