Anyone who things Benteke is the answer to this seasons problems is a mug.

He'll come along now, contractual page count has been reached and Remy will be in on loan from Chelsea. Then we'll sign a decent attacking midfielder, centre back and left back. It will happen. PS I'm basing the above on no inside information at all.

Anyone SERIOUS about doing a deal would not insert a clause that depended on CL football at Palace. There isn't a football club in the country that would agree to part of a payment depending on such a condition in relation to us. If it wasn't out-and-out stupidity the only other possible explanation is that it was done knowing that it would scupper the deal, leaving the owners with a ready-made excuse, on I September, that they tried hard, but failed, thus keeping the cash in their pockets and placating the support. Personally I prefer to believe it was a ridiculous bit of willy waving by Parish, rather than a Machiavellian plot to excuse a poor window. Yes, you must be right, Parish never even wanted Benteke, he just went through all this to 'placate' the fans. And when we get relegated after having no striker he'll be thinking, 'well at least I pretended to try to get Benteke' Yes. You must be right. Why didn't I think of this before. Transfer deals contain multiple clauses, doesn't mean you think it will definitely happen. It's just a potential added bonus. It's not like it was £23m plus £5m if we get Champs Lge, it would have been X if he scores 10 goals, X if we get to/ win a cup final, X if we get into Europe, and X if we get into Champs Lge. But no, get back to your moaning guys.

I have no contact with the owners or management of the club and am in no position to personally put them under any sort of pressure. I am however, as you are, entitled to my opinion, which I have given you without giving a derogatory view on your motivations or intentions; it would have been polite if you'd extended the same curtesy to me. We all know that our owners read social media - that is to their credit. So I'd hazard a guess that our opinions do matter to them. As they are fans too. And of course you are entitled to your opinion. But I do not actually think there is anything I said that could be read as derogatory with regards your motivation/intentions. In fact I didn't mention what motivated your post in any way shape or form. I kept my comment purely on why Liverpool might leak what should be private discussions. In fact you are the one who cast aspersions on the motivations of others (Parish willy waving...) in your post. Funny you get so hot under the collar when you think someone has done the same.

The club isn't run by idiots and I don't for a second believe, out of rank stupidity, they would start inserting pie-in-the-sky clauses into contracts without thinking it through first. I haven't read the actual Champions League clause, only what's been 'leaked' by a media outlet, but I suspect, in context, the clause isn't as sensational or stupid as it's been portrayed. I wonder if there was a champions league clause in Jamie Vardy's contract.
