little Al has kudos ?

Oh the irony!!!!
Why are they so down on us all of a sudden? Have we pissed on their parade?

 

[Sir Nigel of Eagleshire]

Grow up? Oh go on. Admit it, it at least chaffs a bit. How's your neck? A bit stiff from suddenly having to look up to us?

You don't have the kudos of little Al here yet. So jog along.

Kudos ? little Al is welcome to it, I have no axe to grind, no reputation to build and no interest in wasting my time being jealous of anyone or anything when I could better spend it being happy with what I have and aspiring to more.

You took the words outta all our mouths - so jog along - stop wasting your time (here?!?!) and aspire for more. Good luck to you.

 

[Sir Nigel of Eagleshire]

ok thank you, consider me jogged.

 

[Alex Alex Dawson oo! oo!]

Nice post, some good points.

Something I don't understand is how TB's property investment/development knowledge squares with the frankly mind boggling cost of the Amex stadium.
I would also like to find more details on the structure of American Express's 10 year sponsorship deal.

Not really sure what you're asking in the first sentence - he's had two long term business colleagues on the club Board (Franks and Sugarman) since soon after his appointment as chairman, one is from Citibank. One of the other directors, Derek Chapman, owned a reasonable sized local building firm and has been overseeing the build, managing the contractor etc.
Amex's sponsorship is directed to the "Albion in the Community Program" only, they were never going to have anything to do with the playing side of the business. Hope this helps your curiosity.

just because you don't understand it, doesnt mean it isnt so. I don't really quite understand special relativity, doesn't mean it isn't so. a very successfull one. not sure what Amex sponsorship matters too much as it had been paid for by then.

the irony of all this, is Palace is currently owned by a consortium many fans claim to have great wealth but not fronting up.

Thank-you very much for another reasonable, polite and informative post, yes it does help.

Im not sure they do have great wealth, considerable maybe, but lets not forget they were reluctant buyers in the first place.
In any case I frankly don't give a monkeys about point scoring and keyboard wars, its kids stuff and as per my first post I came here for reasonable and interesting footy related chat, not my dad is bigger than yours bullshit. enjoy the game.

 

[Sir Nigel of Eagleshire]

hadnt seen the score when i posted that, wasn't trying to be funny

 

[Gullys Cats]

Crystal Palace Fans = JEALOUS

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Have no time to read all this,but palace are deluded,beyond belief.

 

[GoldWithFalmer]

Crystal Palace Fans = JEALOUS

Fearful,more like,fearful and a little wary of the REAL BRIGHTON,the Brighton they forgot about,that older fans remember,and the young who only remember the Withdean,this is planet Amex-Brighton are back

 

[PWA]

Brighton are back indeed.
Palace will see getting a point a result on Tuesday.
Nothing less than a comfortable win for Albion will do.

 

[Dick Knights Mumm]

its kids stuff and as per my first post I came here for reasonable and interesting footy related chat,

then post something interesting.

£67m on the stadium-the rest investment,ground off sets,transport,compensation to university.

That's fair comment. I woukld be happy with a point - I expect you felt the same at half-time last night.

Having said that, given the reaction on the pitch to Poyet's half-time talk I would if I were an Albion supporter be really worried now that a Premiership club, say one in London which is getting disillusioned with it's present managerial regime whistle would come in for Gus with a serious offer.

Would Poyet tur down a club with SERIOUS possibilities of European league football?

What I like is that you can SMELL the fear coming from Palace right now.

Just SMELL it.
