CPFC2010 have bought Selhurst Park Stadium

[Mackenzie]

When two owners in ten years have taken our club to the brink of extinction through being complete twats, I think we're deserving of some self pity, as you are for not haviung a home for so long. It's time for the FA to see what's happened with us and realise it's time to bring in proper regulations to stop teams getting into such situations, ie limits on spending, proper checks on people taking over etc etc.

Hang on a minute, where were the dissenting voices when you spunked £2.8M on Valerien Ismael and or £2.5M on Kuqi (amongst others)? You continually paid fees and wages in excess of your income, came on here acting the billy big bollocks and then wondered why it all went wrong.

I have very little sympathy for your plight, and I hope your new management takes notice of the past. I'm looking forward to reading the fans transfer speculation and the £1M+ signings they'll be demanding. (starting the cycle all over again).

Lovely palace fans aren't there ?

Equating their plight with third world debt and blaming everyone beyond themselves for the financial trouble their club has got in TIME AND TIME AGAIN.

Tell you what Palace fans just accept the fact that your finances dictate your place as a lower championship / league one side. Any position higher simply ends up being paid for by someone else.

I would say we're naturally a Championship side. I say this to the occasional other fan who says they think of us as a top flight team (usually because they followed our progress in the early 90s). Do you really think that Palace fans consider themselves Premier League?!

The "blaming everyone else" comment is a bit strange. How are we as fans to blame at all?!

I personally did not come onto here and start "acting the billy big bollocks", so make such accusations. I have done nothing of the sort.

There were dissenting voices when we spunked £2.5M on Kuqi, because few people thought he was worth it. Ultimately, we had no clue that Jordan was going to pull a plug on his cash investment, so why shouldn't we be signing £2.5 million players if he pledged money towards it? He personally should not have been buying players and agreeing to pay the wages if he wasn't willing to provide long term investment. There would have been no problem whatsoever if he had done this. Pretty much every club operates on debt - the difference between us and them is that our chairman decided to put us into loads of debt and refuse to take us out.

In terms of your last paragraph, I'm guessing you haven't read this thread? I've said it lots of times - the new owners will not be throwing cash about, and don't have any sort of a plan for getting into the Premiership. They simply want to stabilise the club and run it within its means - possibly resulting in relegation, but who cares. I'm looking forward to knowing that I'm going to have a team to support long term. I doubt we'll be buying anyone, except for maybe one or two free transfers.

Baloney. Your club are serial financial cheats. It is in the dna. It will happen again.

And few questioned over the years.

It makes me feel a little queasy when you try and make out there is some comparison between our clubs situation over the years.

It's in the DNA? What the hell are you talking about? Does playing at Selhurst and wearing red and blue somehow make people want to enter administration? Of course not. We've just been extremely unlucky in that we've always been run by complete ***** who don't know how to run a stable football club. As I've said many many times, the new owners aren't going to be putting us into massive debt. It's not happening any time soon.

There is a comparison between the situations - the fans got shat on because football is a crooked game run by crooked people. The fact that you think we've enjoyed all this "debt dodging" really is absurd.

 

[The Phoenix]

Plenty questioned it. Do some searching on here.

Behave. I was on here the day after and I got shot down for even suggesting that Premier League football wouldn't be happening within the next five years. People saw the money on offer and went mental. "Who shall we buy first?" "We're rich!!" "We've got the money, we can easily become a Premiership side in the next few years!" - All the sorts of comments that were made, which show the same attitude that it's being claimed Palace fans had. If there was anyone saying "let's just spend what we have", they were in the severe severe minority.

You know what I hate? Those African nations getting their debts wiped. They should be paying every penny, the greedy debt dodging bastards.

This is quite possibly the most ridiculous thing I have ever seen posted on here.

Think that was intended to be a Palace fan's idea of a joke. Like their accounting, not very good.

It was a semi serious attempt to show that the "people who are in huge amounts of debt should have to pay every penny back" mentality going on isn't correct. No, they are not the same situation, and one is far more serious than the other, but I wasn't attempting to claim that they were the same, or similar. I was merely attempting to show that claiming that people who are in debt should never be helped make it more manageable is nonsense. I started with giving the example of other businesses, and then I went for the only other example I could think of.

I have quite a large bank loan and an overdraft that I used to set up my own business. Up until now I have been paying them both off... what was I thinking?

I have offered the bank £80 for the £8000 loan.

Fingers crossed.

Yeah I noticed, you have more than your fair share of twattish celebrity fans

Keith Harris and Orville. Says it all really.

I've never heard of this Jensen chap

Shouldn't allow kids to post on this serious forum!

There's quite a difference between "making it manageable" and writing your debts off for a second time in 10 years regardless of who gets financially shafted. Your club has chosen to go down the 1p in the pound route.

He's a Palarse fan, it comes with the territory. However we have Fat Boy they have to settle for Maxi Jazz and Faithless, says it all really.

*edited cos I can*
Doesn't it though!

Only if you like shit music.

 

[Buzzer]

Ignore him. He knows nothing. Maxi Jazz is a really lovely bloke and a great musician. Still supports a shit side though - mind you Ian Brown supports ManUre so it goes to show that even the best can make really bad life choices.

 

[Buzzer]

Only if you like shit music.

If you think Faithless are shit then, quite honestly, you're a bigger fool than I thought you were.

 

[Selhurst Wonderland]

I'm assuming that you do as you consider Zoe Ball's hubby cutting edge and Faithless to be crap.

Well said that man.
Apart from the 'supporting a shit club' bit, natch.

Still, clearly not as big a fool as you then.

Makes them shit without question, shit people support shit and broke, robbing cheating clubs with the initials 'C' and 'P'.
