It will be a proper size but I'm questioning whether I will live to see it.

For sure its easy to forget that there are plenty of clubs in the footballing pyramid that are a lot worse off than us. Originally posted by Badger11 I read IntotheValley their fan forum. They are complaining on there that Danish Dave has cut back spending on the various youth teams, so parents have to wash their own kit, there is not enough kit etc. Charlton have a good track record of bringing young players through so this is an opportunity to do some poaching, they are not happy at the Valley.

How is that different to Man City for example? As for whom, I'm hardly a scout. What I would like is some clarity I suppose. 'Who are you and how did you get in here? I'm a locksmith.

Originally posted by Dubai Eagle A friend of my kid brother is in some way connected with the youth set up at Charlton (I think he is assistant to the manager of one of the younger teams, 8 / 9 10 year olds) anyway he was complaining that if a London based kid shows lots of potential at that age there is a real struggle to keep them at Charlton because of the money from PL top 6 clubs, then the draw of the new Palace academy, yes he specifically mentioned the Palace academy as becoming a major headache because when Parents bring their kids to Palace, they get a good vibe from the tour, the set up, the senior coaches at the Academy & the possibilities of a route to the first team & more recently the experience's of Plange, getting moved out to other clubs in the same football family, so for sure its having the desired effect further down the tree - as the years go by if it continues to be managed properly for sure both the academy & this multi club set up could be the pathway to a brighter future for Palace - Chelsea had six starters the other day from their academy so it shows academies can work. Even if only 3% make it into the premier, that would still be about 3 a year for us moving forward. So hopefully that will prove a good investment for us.

Edited by Stirlingsays (19 Nov 2022 10.11pm) Define '' massive '' ! My definition would be in the City, Newcastle state owned bracket, and the likes of Chelsea. We have had a lot of money invested into the club but it's still not on a par with, for example, Bloom's bankrolling of Brighton or the Dildo Brothers at West Ham. Elland Road is not in the middle of a built up area. We are limited with what we can do at Selhurst Park. The proposed new stand will certainly increase corporate revenue and enable an improvement on what is currently on offer. As for signing so called stars, history tells us that it doesn't usually work out for Palace - Benteke and Sakho being recent examples. And I think you are barking up the wrong tree if you think the club is sitting on a vast amount of transfer money. Old, Ungifted and White

Surprise no one has picked up on this. It's in other media as well. [Link] In order for Textor and his consortium to complete the takeover of Lyon he wants to transfer his part ownership of CP to a new holding company which will also own OL. There are 2 issues with this as I understand it. 1. Rather than saying transferring ownership of CP it would be more accurate to say selling his ownership as the new holding company has other shareholders apart from him and they would then have a say in CP. Who are these people and are they good for us. 2. By selling his ownership and using it as surety for the purchase of OL essentially he is putting CP on the hook for his debit with OL. So if OL went bust CP shares would be part of the assets that the administrator would be looking to maximize. I don't like this idea of multiple ownership and I have mentioned this many times. I hope the other shareholders squash the idea. One more point
