Dear Daily Mirror,
This is what they can do with their opinions..

Didn't bother reading the rumour thread. How people love to jump on the bandwagon eh

BunkUp. You've been a member here for 10 days and well over half of your posts are childish digs at other people and very few (if any) are offering an opinion on anything at all.

This is a discussion site and the idea is to discuss things. If that concept is a bit too grown up for you why don't you join the Cbeebies fan site instead as that may well be closer to your intellectual level

The Palace Pant wetters can't help but lap it all up. It's now well known around the national press that a trouble making rumour will cause a lot of panic and give the thing legs, resulting in a press conference to quash the bullsh1t.

Thankfully TP is a man who appears we can trust more than the usual drill you get, and the words given in that conference are as candid as he's been from day one.

With other clubs it probably takes a while longer to circulate but with us, it takes a few hours for thousands of the fanbase to know about it, and seeing as 40,000 or so is really our ceiling, it's lucky that when it is obviously complete bollox, it gets quashed asap when the tv crew are back to work on Monday for the usual Monday Prem press day.

I can't this post seriously at all. Imagine using the words "quality" and "journalism" in the same sentence?

Sydenham by birth. Selhurst by the Grace of God.

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.
