It is good to be reminded how ignorant some people are

I think that sums up the difference between our two clubs. We spend sensibly and try to build up the infrastructure first. We even managed to stay out of administration while playing at Withdean. You get a bit of money and throw it all at players. Maybe you'll end up in administration for a...

I'd almost believe that if you'd said Premier League clubs rather than clubs like Palace. It's all a bit sad. It is possible that Dunk will leave this summer (and just about possible that he will go to Palace). However, any club who want him will need to pay a lot of money (more than he's worth)...

The arrogance is hilarious. Firstly, it's hard to see why you're on here. All a bit sad. Secondly, the idea that you can just click your fingers and a player will come is laughable, especially as other teams are interested (much bigger teams than Palace).

I'm reasonably optimistic now. We've kept hold of Hughton (which didn't happen the last two play off seasons) and hopefully will be able to keep our best players and add to the strength. In the last 20 games of last season, we were brilliant and I'm hopeful that can continue next season.

What a load of drivel. We missed out on promotion because we couldn't quite beat Middlesbrough (who were helped by an awful refereeing decision) and then followed that up with four injuries in one match in the first leg of the play offs and Wednesday scoring a goal that should have been...

Fair enough. Not too fussed. Thought he did okay in the end but wasn't a great option. Cousins is much younger and offers return on investment.

Think you are being harsh on Hemed. 17 goals in his first season in English football is a good return and I thought he contributed a lot outside that. We need a partner for Hemed and another option up front but Wilson isn't the answer to either of those.

Sounds like a promising signing. Hopefully as well as Stephens staying rather than to replace him. Wonder if this means we've given up on Sidwell or just that we're culling our back up midfielders (Crofts already gone and letting Holla, Ince and JFC go).

It was never about replacing Chicksen though, he spent quite a lot of last season out on loan. It is about replacing Calderon and, as I assume Rosenior will be focusing on his preferred right back position, it will be a left back. Surely replacing Chicksen would mean signing a player who we...

So Derby and Villa have a new manager (and in Villa's case also have new owners). We have an owner who is a supporter and has backed the club massively financially and a manager who was voted the best in the division last season (and recently extended his contract). All this good news for other...

It shows how highly managers regard Scottish football when someone leaves Hibs (one of Scotland's biggest clubs and just won the cup, although admittedly in the second level next season) for Rotherham, who it would be surprising if they rose above their current leave of Championship strugglers.

Very odd appointment but it is the Venkys. He did a really good job at Burnley but has not achieved anything since. Blackburn fans must be furious!

Can't understand why Monk would even consider the Leeds job. There must be better options available for him or the chance to wait until September/October when Premier League/Championship clubs who have had a bad start begin to sack their managers.

For £30K a week we could get almost anyone in the Championship. I know the argument is they would cost a transfer fee but Murray on £30K a week, even on a free, might upset a lot of players as I doubt any of our current players get close to that.

Completely agree. Murray on a reasonable deal would be a decent option. 30K a week is not a reasonable deal. If you listen to some on here, you would think he's Messi and Ronaldo combined.

This is why he gets stick on here. BG would have no doubt found the perfect left back, happy to be cover for Rosenior until January. Sadly us mere mortals can only look at him in awe. As for your previous point, my main point was that calling Rosenior a jack of all trades was very harsh as he...

Calling him a jack of all trades is a compliment? Seriously? You've got a funny way of complimenting players. Rosenior is good enough to be first choice in all three positions he played for us. He is a master of all trades, not a jack (which implies he isn't very good at any of them).

End of an era with Calde going. What a servant to the club both on and off the pitch. He has been one of the key players of recent years but it is the right time to let him go. I'm confident the club will offer him a role once he retires.

Agreed. We can't expect too much from March though early next season. Took him a couple of months to find form this season after missing the end of the previous season. It will potentially take him even longer next season, if he's even ready for pre season, as he's been out for longer. We will...
