Palace can't afford to pay player wages

Hope you get what you wish for!
I have taken enough stick from Palace fans at work who tell me how they have a bigger and better club, how they have been in the Premier, how they have a ground and we havent, etc, etc, and I feel no pain for their current situation. In fact this is the only time I have ever felt any warmth towards Simon Jordan. Thank you Simon!!

I would love to sing a little ditty to their owner.

In this age of NSC niceness I won't call him what I might have a couple of months back!

As some of you are aware,I'm only too quick to come on here when you take a thrashing.
At no point in my Palace supporting life have I ever wished your club to go extinct.
We are teetering on the brink and a few of you are taking great delight in our possible demise.
For shame!

Or in my case,HOL old thing.
palace ill not go out of business, as the club will be an asset to sell as it has "goodwill" and a place in the football league which is also an asset. The issue is whether you "do a brighton" lose your ground, ground share and knock about the lower leagues for a decade or so. Does Noades own selhurst or have I got that wrong? (If it is Noades I recken he will pick up palace in administration for nowt and you will be, annoyingly fine)

Noades was duped by Jordan and us fans.Jordan doesn't own the ground but a company in dire financial trouble does.(can't recall their name)
This is where the problem lies.Your assumption that we won't go out of business is unfounded.Prospective buyers have not only to negotiate the buying of the ground from an impoverished owner but then do business with SJ for the club(players)
A very awkward situation that will,no doubt,deter prospective buyers!
It does sound worse than I thought. Worst case tho is you will do a brighton, loose selhurst, end up ground sharing and have no assets so rely on someone bailing you out. Tho your ground share will be about a 120 mile round trip closer than ours was! If I'm honest i dont even want you to do a brighton, I miss palace v albion at the soldstone and selhurst, the game at charlton millwall or brentford or whatever. It would not be the same. Palace will survive but maybe 15 years of the lower leagues are on the way. But then its not that bad, its the losing the ground that is the bad thing, the club loses its soul and the fan base drips away and you end up a club you dont recognise. there we go, or maybe imjust getting older but the albion isnt the albion after losing the soldstone
Insel affe

A little bit of me is chuckling, and a smug smile does come over my face when i think of you sinking through the divisions.However i cant tell you the pain losing the goldstone and being a nomad team for a while caused me.I would not wish that on any football fan................then again the devil inside says its a little bit funny.........
hope you dont go under, but forgive me if i chuckle

Why did Jordan suggest he had bought back the ground ?

I genuinely don't know.
What I do know is that I was one of the mugs who bought the DVD celebrating the coming together of club and ground(didn't buy the t-shirt though)
I've always been a fan of SJ but I've become more and more disillusioned by him in recent times.He'll always be lauded by us for the buy out but it's gone pear shaped now.
Just been on the holmsdale and bbs. Does remind me of the early days of the sale of the soldstone. Nobody really knows what is happening and interesting companies linked with the club. One thing tho SW16 girl thinks you owe the revenue £2.5 Million. I doubt that as they would have a winding up petition issued by now. Never mess with the taxman, as they are very keen to collect the taxes so to pay for their final salary pension schemes!
Got to step in here and pop in my tuppence worth. We all like a good giggle at Palace's woes but that does NOT extend to seeing them go under. Plenty from Selhurst came to our aid during our tough times and it's only fair we extend them the same courtesy now (although being nice to Warnock in any way remains out of the question).

Can anyone else see the irony if they ended up sharing with AFC Wimbledon for a few years? 
On the financial side, sure Palace struggling for a few seasons, becoming a yo-yo club would be great to see but no fan deserves to see their club cease to exist. We have (barely) suvived playing at Gillingham and Withdean, had a few good seasons but mainly its an annual struggle. Ask any Leeds fan and they will tell you League 1 is not easy to get out of unless you do it first season and with no money and no players you will struggle but there will always be teams worse than you. But remember no matter how bad things look, take heart from the likes of AFC Wimbledon, Accrington Stanley and Aldershot. There is always a way back from even the worst outcome, it may take time but it can be done. The way things look at best you will be taking a 10 point hit this season and losing players in January but if you can pull off an escape and stay up then next season will be easier, at worse I can see you taking 10 point hit and going down and having 3-4 years in League 1 while you get the finances sorted out being a mid to bottom end team until you rebuild and move back up to join us in the Championship. A lot depends on you keeping Warnock, lose him and you could end up with Dennis Wise as a manager and then you should be worried
