From my own point of view Gadaffi coming to our club wouldn't sit right with my morals. I think of more importance is that Iain Dowie seems to be a man with morals too and I can't see him staying if the dictator got his hands on palace. Make your choice Ian Dowie or Gadaffi. I know which is my choice.

What do you think would happen when he meets Uncle Ron and his "AGENT" Ken to discuss the freehold on Selhurst Park?

Personally I think this is a great idea. A club may only get one chance to get HUGE investment like this, and they gotta take it if available! I too am uneasy about Gadaffi's past record, but Libya has moved on and opened up more the West and pretty much has an endorsement from our own Government. Maybe I am just looking at it from the money point of view, but if he doesn't invest in us, he'll just go elsewhere and let some other team have good times!! Also the main point... Who in their right mind would try and f**k us over with him in charge? lol. Sorry, £125k SFX? Maybe u should reconsider.

I heard Five Live discussing Gadaffi's bid last night. Speaking as someone who is towards the left of the political spectrum, it is interesting that someone who stood up to the might of the US in the 1980's could end up owning Palace. He appears to be back in favour with the international community.

This post has been merged from a topic called 'Quote from Gaddafi's Green Book.' by jcreedy "Sport is like praying, eating, and the feeling of warmth and coolness. The thousands who crowd stadiums to view, applaud and laugh are those foolish people who have failed to carry out the activity themselves. They line up on the shelves of the sports grounds, practising lethargy."

All we need now is the guy form Norbury with his tank turning up at games again. Then there is the question as to where the Colonel will be sticking his tent up? Contract negotiations will be interesting "sign and I will let you live" Well as somebody has already said on here "It could only happen to Palace"

He must be trying to buy into football to boost Libiya's bid for a world cup to be held in their country. This cannot be a good thing for us. The only good I can see coming from this are quite a few refeering decisions going our way! I mean which c**t in black is going to award a free kick against us with that dictating t**t in the stands?!?!?!?!? Edited by misaps (17 Jul 2004 8:46am)

I will not support Palce if Gadaffi is in charge. I will not give my money to someone who has murdered innocent people. The man has blood on his hands. This is a very very bad idea.

I, too, would have great difficulty with this. Even if Gadafy has apologised etc, ask yourself this. Where does his money come from? Most dictators are only rich on the backs of the people they opress. Dodgy regimes like his can use all the spin they like but nothing can hide the fact that their wealth is only gained at the expense of the ordinary people of that country. Is it right that money made in this way should be used to fund Palace.
There used to be a recruitment ad for the Met with the tag line: "Dull it isn't" |

just for clarification's sake there has been no opression and no genocide in Libja. Gadaffi's money comes from it's vast oil revenues. Also past terrorist acts have been committed by agents/fundamentalists in Libja and there has never been a proven case of Gaddafi sanctioning terrorism. Gadaffis involvement would indeed be negative for Palace with all these connections, but at the end of the day money talks and I am sure in time Gadaffis publicity team would iron this problem out. Personally and I mean personally if this goes ahead and passes through the FA then I believe Palace will gain from it. btw I am from Croydon and have no sentiments with my neighbour
