How do you know that that it's "spouters of nothing" if you've never been on NSC? Actually there are a bunch of Palace who are on there all the time and you get some reasonable debates going. I go on every other club's forum in the days leading-up to playing them but I go on NSC once a week to see what they are saying about us. There is a poll on there at the moment to see how much they hate Palace. It's currently about 58% haters... The best posts on there at the moment are the one's where they're desperately trying to find something positive to say about the stream of low budget signings they're making from relegated Bundesliga teams and injured Gent players. They were talking about the likes of Loftus-Cheek a week ago. I'm almost beginning to feel sorry for them. Bloom's wallet seems to have slammed shut.
Bexley Dave Can you hear the Brighton sing? I can't hear a ******* thing! "The most arrogant, obnoxious bunch of deluded little sun tanned, loafer wearing mummy's boys I've ever had the misfortune of having to listen to" (Burnley forum) |

As far as I am aware their only pre-season signings are keeper Ryan from Valencia (£6 Mill ?), right-back Suttner from Ingolstadt and midfielder Gross from the same club (£3 Mill ?)

A mate of mine that's a Liverpool fan and season ticket holder at Brighton (doesn't narrow it down) told me a few weeks ago that Tony Bloom has an unlimited pot of money. Yet he won't donate any to transfers it seems. Odd, almost like they don't want to stay up. Or they want to take some kind of moral high ground around FFP, something they've whinged about other clubs breaching for a while now.

No one knows how much money Bloom has got; he gets in the Sunday Times Rich List at £50m, the same as Steve Parish, which clearly doesn't square with what he's put into the club. Presumably they're hoping that a few frugal signings, and their current squad, will keep them up and, if it doesn't, they can bank most of the PL money and, hopefully, bounce back. You make a good point about FFP, which as you say, they're always banging on about.

Well I guess teams have survived in the past with a Championship squad and a few cheap (but not very good) signings. Can think of one off the top of my head right away.....

Based on the opprobrium hurled in my direction in the form of unfounded allegations questioning my honesty is it any wonder that I posted what I did.Can grate after a while. And yes on numerous occasions I have urged NOT to turn threads into WILLO threads - all in the interests of HOL. Now just get back on that pier on Worthing, mind the seagulls and have a nice coffee on that cafe at the end !!!!

You can complain about allegations concerning your honesty if and only if you actually demonstrate some. Confirming that you are Trolley would be a start.
