Not true. Whether there is any truth in that story or not it wasn't really a footballing matter but it seems that he was reluctant to pay ex gratia bonuses to the players that they weren't contractually entitled to.

The really good unique thing about this particular Prem season is, surprisingly, is that there aren't just one or two sh1t teams as per but five or six. Five or six teams clubs that even with same squads would not necessarily come top or even in the top five in The Championship. This is why we shouldn't panic about anything. Pulis leaving, no signings, etc, should they happen. Last August We nearly all thought we'd be more or less relegated by now with only about 12-14 points on the board and adrift. The reason we will stay up is because out of those five or six sh1t teams we have the best spirit. That won't change now. The others are in the quicksand and are fragile. We are not. We have character. Lots of it.

Genuine question: Is there any basis at all behind the board "interfering in football matters" or is it pure conjecture? The only place I've heard it mentioned is on the HOL, and I've never seen it substantiated by any quotes from anyone who would actually know

[But the owners of Cardiff and Hull don't interfere with the footballing side of the club at all. One changed the colours that they play in and the other wants a slight change to the club's name. People do claim that if they don't get their own way that they might just walk away from the club but somehow I doubt it as it would mean writing off the sizeable debts that the clubs own them and no-ne is daft enough to cut off their noses to spite a few disgruntled fans. I would say that undermining a previously successful manager, replacing the sporting director with someone who had no knowledge of football, and then bringing in a manager with no experience of managing in the premiership, and an average managerial record at best is definitely interfering in the football side of thigns

What is so differenet about Tan "bringing in a manager with no experience of managing in the premiership, and an average managerial record at best" which you claim is "definitely interfering in the football side of things" and Steve Parish who appointed Dougie Freedman who had absolutely no experience of managing any club in any division whatsoever

Steve Browett did mention something on the BBS but it was only half hearted and hardly emphatic.

1) Nobody wanted to take it on. We know this because it was the same the previous year in admin when only Paul Hart was willing. 2) DF knew the whole squad as he'd been a coach or asst for 12 months. 3) He gave 2010 of what he needed adding (KG, Augustien), and how he could earn the points to stay up. 4) We were at rock bottom, he was starting out. Perfect fit. We grow together. Unfortunately DF wanted to go at his speed and couldn't go at the developing speed of Jedi, Zaha etc without being nudged by the board. Don't compare Palace in 22nd place in the Championship with the squad and budget then, with Cardiff now. Edited by Rudi Hedman (27 Jan 2014 10.19am)

I agree that Jordan lacks business acumen. But the main difference between him and Parish is that Parish doesn't, and I think that's evident. Tom, to some extent I agree with you here. Parish's achievements with TAG are far more substantial, and provide far more evidence of acumen, than anything from Jordan's career. But that makes the pig's ear he's making of running Palace all the harder to understand. For someone seemingly quite sharp, his obvious failure to run Palace effectively suggests that either his ego has got in the way of his business sense or he actually had no acumen to begin with. As I do not believe the latter to be true, I honestly think he is now so enamoured with himself that he can't get out of the way and let the football professionals around him do their jobs. I'm not sure what else you can conclude.
with respect I think the poster means pigs ear of the summer transfer window and losing the players TP wanted this window
Then when someone who hasn't run their own business or company he cannot wait to tell one and all that he runs a business worth a 7 figure sum. Well that is miniscule compared to what is going on at the moment, and what he and others seem to conveniently forget is that football is unlike any other business, although now and then they use it to suit the point they're making. If you get relegated, your world and revenue is turned upside down. It isn't like any other business where you can make redundancies, move premises. These are fixed costs. If you told any of these people their fixed costs would rise by 400% tomorrow and they'd have to mortgage the house their missus loves to bits with the suspicion their clients might choose a competitor in 4 months time, you'd see their &rses squeak more than an un-escorted walk from New Cross to the Old Den decked in red and blue.
