Gus said a week or two back that if he got a couple of the strikers he was after, glenn would have fewer opportunities, so I don't think he's waiting for Glenn to make up his mind. He's going after targets regardless.

He showed quite clearly with Forster that he will not be swayed. The fact that nobody at the club seems that bothered means that whether Murray stays or goes they have a cunning plan. I am beginning to think now that Murray shouldn't stay now because clearly (rightly or wrongly) a lot of fans have gone off him. Personally I think that Brentford matter was blown completely out of proportion and let's face it, the only he can do 'wrong' (I use the term advisedly) is join Palace. As has been said time and time again, the player is perfectly entitled to go for the best deal he can get. After all when Bobby Smith left Spurs for us does anybody really believe he did it for the glory ?

Face a fact, one of the most attractive things about Murray is that he wouldn't cost Palace a transfer fee, unlike Vaughan. So much for Palace having lots of money.

You seem to be a genuine and reasoned fan and I am pleased that your club did not get liquidated.
What does get my goat is that you fail to see that your new very wealthy owners missed a magnificent opportunity to buck the trend of the majority of football club administration episodes: they could have paid all the creditors back in full. People as rich as billionaires, between them must have been able to afford the £5 million that was owed to the creditors. This was done at Southampton and even though they wasted millions at least their deceased owner had the common decency to pay back local businesses and the HMRC the money that they were owed.
Technically Palace owe all us taxpaying football fans money as I believe they owed money to HMRC and the agreed repayment level was only 1.9p in the pound.

Agreed. There has to be a complete change in how clubs are run starting from now.
The first thing to address is players wages and transfer fees, because this is the main reason as we know why clubs keep falling in to debt time and time. Its completely out of control.
Secondly any normal business would have been forced to close completely. So if the same rule was applied to football clubs, these teams should start from the bottom again.
These clubs should be forced to sell all their players and pay back as much as they can to people like the Inland Revenue and businesses.
Then they should be moved to the Blue Square Premier which would put them on equal footing with other clubs as regards players.
Then they should be monitored for how much money they start spending again on players.
I can't think of a worse punishment. It will teach clubs to be sensible. The other good thing about is that smaller clubs would have some big teams to play which will help with their attendances and hopefully bring in more money for them.

Spot on, if Palace's owners are as rich as they claim in their posts on Palace messageboards they could easily have done what Southampton did (one reason at least to salute Southampton).
Anyway I'm starting to think Murray won't go there. When they started posting so called insider info with excuses already built into it I started having doubts. Two days after he was at their training ground and no more news? Hardly seems like a done deal.
Of course I could be totally wrong, I'm just guessing.

Conversation between Dougie Freedman and Glen on how Glen will be paid his £10,000 salary in used £50 notes plus a new Reliant Robin as a bonus to pull his new caravan if he scores more than 5 goals in The Championship next season:
Stick a pony in me pocket
I'll fetch the suitcase fron the van
Cause if you want the best 'uns
And you don't ask questions
Then brother I'm your man
Where it all comes from
Is a mystery.........
No income tax, no VAT
No money back no gauarentee.....

spoke to a mate who works for another south east club and he says Murrays agent is asking for a big signing on fee and palace have said no to it . all other terms and medical sorted . is he good enough to be able to command a signing on fee . he also told me that you are after Sanchez Watt and Graham Stack .
Who? Palace are after Graham Stack?
That's untrue. Not only do we have Speroni and a decent backup in Price, we also have 2 young Keepers waiting for their chance.
Albumen
Don't wait for me!
[blind guessing] He'll stay [/blind guessing]

Graham Stack - not after any keepers, read todays Evening Argus.... it says we are going with the 3 keepers we already have.
Sanchez Watt - Yes please (Barcelona liked him and he played for Senrab - as did Zamora)

Not sure if you can read, but the deal is on the table, along with 2 others. He's making his choice. Freedman has given his timeline as he is off on holiday in a few days. But, he has other options to move on.Spot on, if Palace's owners are as rich as they claim in their posts on Palace messageboards they could easily have done what Southampton did (one reason at least to salute Southampton).

As for Vaughan, we are still interested. We have our young strikers as well as Iversen and Easter, so really we need 2 to play alongside each other.
But Vaughan is still on holiday, so nothing is happening there right now.

Not sure if it's wise to roll that one out before demonstrating you've spectacularly failed to comprehend any part of what I just said.
I'm not blinded by anything thanks. I give no more of a toss about Saints than Ipswich, Barnsley or Derby County. I say that purely from a football point of view.
Exactly this.
Also, living where I do, I really don't want to have to listen to all my Saints supporting mates telling me all about how great their new striker is..

Something Murray (or anyone else mulling over a move to Palace) should consider is that it is distinctly possible Freedman will be out of a job by Christmas. In a way that would be sad, he is a genuine club hero, and Palace through and through. But he was a big gamble as an unproven manager, and if it isn't working by November, he'll be under severe pressure.

The only reason Glen hasn't signed on for Palace yet is because he wants a new pen to use as part of the deal.
