Quote thommo1 at 17 Jan 2014 10.38am The thing is Maple and with respect I think your missing the point no pun intended but I think what most people are saying on here is that IF we have or signed a openly gay player then the vast majority of the Palace fans would not give two hoots and get behind him, again no pun intended. What you seem to be saying is that we should actively go out and find a gay player just so we can be regarded as cool and that is what people are finding a bit.. well .. not really how constructing a skillful sporting team is all about really. Don't think I ever said we should actively go and find an 'out' gay player or encourage one to come out Thommo. Just putting forward the concept that it would be cool to be the first club to have someone and that we are in a good place to do that should it happen. It certainly doesn't mean, as implied earlier, that I would value being gay over being a great player, clearly the opposite. From the more recent part of this thread, it seems we are aligned, we would support an out gay player. Maybe we could indeed put it about that if an outstanding player wanted to come out then we would welcome him joining us, may get some real talent on the cheap.

A serious point here, and some of what I've just said has some seriousness to it, maybe all this kind of encouraging coming out puts just as much pressure on a gay player as much as him keeping it PRIVATE for his limited time as a footballer, something he might just do without when trying to compete for his place, club, career, contract.... Probably why I couldn't give a sh1t which Palace player is gay or not. Leave him to it, his life and job. That list was just me feeding back what other people have said Rudi. Point 9 is also wrong in case anyone cares. But by the way I have never said I encourage someone to come out, it's there choice. What I would say, strongly, is that we should get ready for such an eventuality and make sure when it happens we are at our supportive best. It's what we do, we are Palace.

Quote Part Time James at 16 Jan 2014 12.50pm I'd be very surprised if TP's scouting network wasn't following the priority order this transfer window: 1) A gay player 2) A strong striker who can score goals 3) Bolster the defence with an experienced centre back He won't have overlooked the need for a gay player, trust me. It's about time the Football Manager franchise added players sxuality to their stats as well because the other day I wanted to find a player with at least 15 for heading, 14 for balance and ideally bi-sxual but the filters weren't there so I had to settle for someone with unknown s*xuality.
