I think he will fit right in.

I’m not sure even I would wish this on Palace, but it could be entertaining watching from the sides

 

[The Andy Naylor Fan Club]

Didn't he get banned from owning a club as he was found guilty of corruption

 

[Sussex Nomad]

Their car crash of ownership gets funnier and funnier.

A ‘corrupt’ owner for a Palace? My
day has just improved from

They've been hounding us over TB's 'questionable' and 'immoral' bank balance for years and are now possibly about to be bought out by a man exiled for ripping off an entire country. I can't wait for next season.

They will be alright financially if they get that diving ballerina off their books at £130k a week. a £50M pricetag for him should sort them out.

Hardly. They'll piss that up the wall on another mercenary signing in no time. Probably give Benteke a pay rise.

I see some joker has managed to slip the comment “World Class Football Club” into the spiel. Rude awakening if they believe that.

Wasn’t Man City World Class enough for them?

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

I assume he'll offer £150m but then just pay 10p in the pound and grab it for £15m?

That would be funny.

In cash, promises and iou’s

Ring fenced.

This sounds highly promising. I was pretty sad to see Hughton go but this has helped a bit.

"Shinawatra, the former Prime Minister of Thailand, is currently living in exile from his homeland found guilty of corruption, but that isn’t preventing him from looking to get back into football ownership."



I've been feeling upset all day but that's made me feel better.

 

[B.W.]

A marriage made in 'heaven'...

 

[Dick Head]

"I’m up for the task. It’s been my profession since I worked in management at Chiangrai United, although it is obviously a challenging role. They’re in another class, another standard, but it would still be a pleasure for me, and for Thais, to own a world-class football club."

Oh my!

 

[WhingForPresident]

That has to be a joke right?

 

[SUIYHP]

that is superb.

Nothing quite like confidence building than having a literal criminal owning your club.
