Absolute bollox. "We've been unlucky" - how have you been unlucky? - I would say the people Palace screwed over were unlucky - infact you were tremendously lucky that the Football League only had a 10 point deduction in place and not instant relegation as most people would want for serial abusers.
The fans don't carry the weight of administration but they can certainly stop spouting shit about 35 years in the top 2 tiers which everyone knows was only achieved by playing to a different set of financial rules than everyone else.
Please stop playing those violins - unlucky ? you don't know the meaning of the world.
Ps - see you've sold less than 13k for Millwall
Unlucky in the fact that we had 2 owners that in the end didn't know what they were doing when it came to running a football club. They went in with good intentions I'm sure but in the end it didn't work out and they ended up pretty much bankrupt, a big punishment in itself. You have Bloom and it appears at this moment in time that he knows what he's doing and has a decent wedge (but we thought that about Jordan for most of his reign) In that regard you are lucky to have him. But when he one day moves on then he could sell to a Goldberg/Jordan type buisnessman, then you'd be unlucky. Again, circumstances beyond the board room like a relegation or attendences falling might transpire against your club which result in financial problems, again you'd be unlucky if certain measures aren't in place. It's not hard, even for you and your 2 brain cells. And in regard to your point about our admins putting us in a loftier position for 35 years, well the first one didn't happen till 1999 so that's 23 years you've conviently added and also name me one big money signing that we made that actually paid off to put us in an elevated position? It was signings like Akinbyi, Macken and Kuqi that got us into that trouble and they all turned out shit. Also, the pay offs we had to give to shit managers like Venables, Smith, Francis and Taylor. Who knows, if we'd actually saved money and built a team over time rather than splash out on dross and go for broke, we could of been in a BETTER position.
