There isn't a store in oxford street labelled quality premiership Footballers and a sub heading reading We have surplus stock and at very cheap prices..

Agents are trying to squeeze as much as there greedy little hands can get right now, as a negotiator SP knows this, This is why so many deals are done at the last minute as the agents think 'well £3 million is better than no deal at all' its just who can keep there nerve and poker face for the longest.

DJ John Peel once said: "Supporting Palace has a certain cult value, like pretending that some Peruvian rock band is the best in the world."

I suspect the Pullis recruitment interview went something like this

SP- Ok Tone this is us, this is how much money we have in bank and this is your allowance for The Jan window and this is how much we are prepared to spend on a wage, can you work with that yes or no ?

TP- Yes

Sp- Your hired.

From my experience in the Forces and as a businessman when you start to move the goalposts (lol) change the plan through emotions rather than logic, things start to go wrong.. Stick with the plan CPFC2010 your doing a great job.

agreed, too many people think about transfers at a very basic level ignoring signing on fee's / length of contract / bonus / team morale = jedi signs a new deal probably highest paid player with the club, SP would have said something along the lines of 'we will offer no more as it will break our wage structure'. End of Jan some guy turns up on double the money and people think this will not affect morale.

Stick to what we are doing and build slowly, we know more than most what going for broke can do.

If we succeed and stay up then we can start to raise the budget in the summer

And yet, some think matching Goldberg and Jordan's "ambition" is the answer now?

I think all of us would do something slightly different to how CPFC2010 do it, but quite frankly we are unbelievably fortunate to be in the position are in now. Grass is greener and all that, not to mention the definition of insanity.

RED AND BLUE ARMY!

Nothing wrong with matching the vision and ambition - its all in the execution and whose hands that is in to deliver...

Bloye had none and was bent as nine pence.

Uncle Rons ambition went as far as the end of his own nose.

Goldie had the vision but not two ha'pennies to rub together and Jordan had the ambition but absolutely clueless in how to deliver it.

I think you miss the point. Yeah, you've come up with a veritable rogues gallery. But at least they seemed human, tangible, characters you could love/hate - not a consortium of steel magnates from the Indian sub-continent who had never even visited Selhurst Park and asked their manager to conduct meetings in Mumbai.
