Indeed. The reason Palace will stay up this season is they have a few decent players. They got lucky with Vaughan as Everton couldn't loan him anywhere EXCEPT back to Palace even though they wanted to. It's a shame, but cheats do prosper.

like 99% of the world of football

err, 99% of football doesn't go into administration every five minutes then pay 1% of their debts and go back to buying players/paying them salaries they can't afford, and trying to build new stadiums.

Buy about 10 Orcs/nightclub bouncers
Buy one creative player and NEVER play him (Kevin Thornton)

It works in League Two, but any higher than that and he is found out, as he has been every time he has managed above League Two.

Having said that, paying £100,000 for Bristol Rovers fourth choice striker Robert Zamora was quite frankly a masterstroke, and for that he should be applauded.

we took our punishment and the aggressive administration that Aglio put us in could have been avoided , Chelsea have just spent with salaries £150 million om 2 players yet announced losses again for the 7th year of £68 million, so what do you call their attitude in the wreck less way they spend money that is killing football, just being able to service debt in no excuse.You lot probably have players on salaries on a par with us, what do you suggest we do throw in the towel and field the fixtures made with the kids? that creates an uneven and unfair balance, Pompey in their admin season had players on obscene amounts Sully Muntari and Utaka were in £80k/week we never even came close to that kind of recklessness, Speroni is our highest paid player and he's on £10k/week FFS

It's a 100% better one than shafting those you owe money to. More than once in your case too

They are subsidised by an extremely wealthy individual, if he wants to spend his money this way there's nothing that can really be done about that. DOn't see quite what that has to do with Palace and their con job on local businesses and charities.

Still, keep on pretending there might be some other club as despicable as yours if that makes you feel ok about it.

I liked this, spot on.

Can we add pompey to the despicable cheating club list....

He wasn't an Adams find, though. Dick Knight pushed it through, I believe.

but it creates a completely unfair playing field for other clubs to compete against all it boils down to now in the PL id how much money your billionaire chairman will spend if Man city win the PL this year real football fans will not accept them for it they've simply bought it , how many teams would have like to have bought Torres? if Platinis wish is implemented Chelsea will be a Leeds waiting to happen and rightly so,we dont pick our chairman and the fans paid the charities

Most of our legends did'nt do so well second time around ,Mullery , Case (management) Byrne.
Steve Foster was the only person I thought did better the second time round than the first. Never the less , all of the above are Albion legends in my mind , including Adams.

 

[Olebut]

Why worry about The Blades one more team we can steam roller next season assuming of course MA keeps them up

 

[Mr Burns]

He's not such a massive legend to me, yes he did well here 1st time around with a decent budget. But he gave me the impression that we were just a stepping stone and a bit Micky Mouse. I remember him having When the Saints go marching in as his ring tone, very drole for the ex Saints man. His bleating about designer managers and how if given the chance he could do as well and the fact that he jumped ship to be an assistant at Leicester. Aggressive and petulant little man is my recollection of him first time around, but he did give us some great days in his quest to better himself at any cost. He is out of his depth in the modern game at Championship level and quite likely to be the reason Palace stay up this year.

Zamora is the main reason Adams was as succesfull as he was here

That is the best non Mr Burns post I have read on here in a long time!!!

 

[Mr Burns]

Twice. Rochdale and Dons, the performance against Dons reminded me of the 2001 team. I reckon that team would beat the current lot. Not a lot in it mind.

Seriously!! You think Micky Adams team of 2001 would beat Gus' side of today!!

There is a lot of truth in that Icy.

Madness. Hypothetically... if the defence were able to keep Zamora relatively quiet, the current team would absolutely WASTE the 2001 team.

I'm not sure if he counts as a legend but Wendy was a much better player second time round.

Even if BZ scored a hatto 2011 would beat 2001.
People love to reminisce with rose-tinted glasses, but the truth is we are streets ahead now.
