I appreciate the board not wanting to overspend. If the rumour of the wage cap being in place for if we go down is true, then this should be reflected in the season ticket prices next year. California sunlight - sweet Calcutta rain - Honolulu starbright - the song remains the same

Quote sydtheeagle at 26 Jan 2014 3.29pm Perhaps CPFC2010 should openly tell us their long-term plan. Instead of hiding behind "we're being responsible" which a). they're not and b). is neither here nor there at this point, perhaps they'd like to confirm the suspicion above or tell us, if that's not true, what IS going on. If the above is correct, I would not necessarily have a problem with it; I would simply appreciate being told. Then I would understand why they were running the club the way they are, particularly with regard to the present transfer window. But otherwise, if SP wants to behave like an idiot and not explain why he's doing nothing, then I for one and not going to swallow the party line. This whole paragraph has very little credibility tbf. 1. SP isn't being responsible? Hey? How can planning for a few different outcomes not be 'responsible', or irresponsible for English correctness. It's also irrelevant whether they intend to sell or not, the same business will be in the same condition if that foreigner asks some football advisor which club he should invest his money in. 2. 'What is going on?' I'll put you in the picture again. Players on £40k - £50k contracts already want, guess what, that to be matched. We don't want to sign away £5mil on 2 players' wages per season before all the transfer fees and agent fees are included. The main stand is 90 years old. You either borrow all the money and pay it back in 20 years, or you set some aside. Unless some people have gone completely blind or turned incredibly thick since new year, I'd have thought the ground needing doing and survival in the Prem never being certain were completely obvious. There's a balancing act, and Steven Taylor, Peter Crouch, Matthew Etherington, and Tony Pulis couldn't give a shyte about any of that. They want their quick money and out. In the meantime, we'll have a look at who becomes available this week, as is always where most business happens. COYP

Just give us a fighting chance which I don't think we have unless we bring in two or preferably three quality players this window. The current squad are doing well but we WILL pick up both injuries and suspensions. It always happens. And when it does we will drop like a stone if no additions have been bought in. I think if we fail to bring in one single player it not only sends out a message that the owners are more interested in keeping the money than staying up (whether true or not) plus nobody could blame Pulis for walking away as it would mean promises made to him on signing for Palace have been broken

Quote Jordan555x at 26 Jan 2014 2.36pm How would they even know this?! Pulis is never going to tell anybody especially a journalist about this. I doubt even SLP would know until the very last minute. No manager would tell a newspaper like Daily Mirror about something as confidential as this. Of course they do all the time. Puts pressure on club owners by getting fans on the side of the manager and hopefully owner relents, it's called politics and it happens in football just like any other business, probably more often.

You make a fair point about ground improvements and it's not something that hasn't also crossed my mind although talk of anything to do with Selhurst Park is being shelved until the end of the season as the owners want to give us the best possible chance of staying up. Parish said so himself when questioned about the ground redevelopment in the summer. I can only ascertain from this that there is not any money being put asside at this time. Although I hope I am wrong. We need a better stadium probably more than we need Premiership football.

Maybe taking a deep breath and waiting a few days for the window to draw closer than getting wound up over an ownership in control of possible eventualities and not spend and pray it might work out.

On what, certainly not players, do you mean Hotel bills, a s*** west end play & film, setting up his own magazine, Spanish property, or maybe the yacht. Jordan took more out of Palace, than he ever put. This says it all about how little some people understand about running a business; the assumption that wild spending can only be related to player expenditure. Jordan didn't blow a 50 million pound + fortune by investing it; shrewdly it doesn't matter what he blew his money on; it matters than he blew it. How did Jordan blow £50m, Shakespeare Sydney, he was in a 50/50 partnership & sold his mobile phone business for £73m = £36.5m each. Jordan never lost £50m of his own money at Palace,because he never had £50m. Don`t preach, because you always seem to come up short, with the Facts, Sydney.

If we are to believe Simon Jordan's book he took a much larger cut from the sale of his mobile phone shop than his partner because he boosted the deal and put far more work into its outcome. According to Jordan this was agreed before the deal was completed. He probably did make around £50m out of that deal if his book claims are true. Saying that I would very much doubt he spent the entire £50m on Palace
