[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[jasetheace]

Simply being relegated is a big enough nightmare for them. Commercially they don't have the facilities to generate great revenue from things like wet an dry sales. This may put their development plans on hold. Or they will use money for development at the cost of player recruitment. They cannot have both or must at least wait some years before the two can once again mix. A vicious cycle complimented by the Championship being a ball ache to get out of....except in the opposite direction.

Roy gushing about how hard Zaha is working to get back playing. Meanwhile Sakho is fit but doesn't fancy playing. #together

And their salary structure would be a complete disaster in the Championship.

Their once a decade administration in due in 2020, could all fall into place

If I were a Palace fan right now, my biggest fear would be Zaha breaking down and his return being delayed. They're ****ed if he doesn't come back.

Indeed, it's not that they're a one man team though.....

 

[Mo Gosfield]

They really need to renew their traditional rivalry with Millwall for a few seasons.

Hope they do.

Oh but to dream.
I would die a happy man if the natural order was restored and we could go back to the 70 years of rivalry between Palace and Millwall and our little spat could be consigned to the dustbin of history, where it belongs.

Not really, they'll just do what they did last time. God help any firm whose owed money by them though.

According to Roy he is running but not doing twists and turns. This was a week ago. Read the Zaha thread on BBS

Zaha’s twitter feed shows he was back on the ball in training on Sunday but is still training alone and not doing the twists and turns as Roy suggested. Hopefully when he does his knee will twist again put him back a few weeks but by looks of it he’s most likely to be 2/3 weeks away.

They're likely to lose about 25% on attendance looking at how it usually goes for them in the championship.

Yep. Relegation would be more of a disaster for them than most clubs seeing as they've wasted all the money they've had from the PL. It would be a beautiful thing to witness.

30% if they are challenging for promotion. More like 40% in a standard year. That is quite some revenue to lose, on top of the £76m less TV revenue.

Still no news on when his back though.

It’s enough to make your heart bleed ehh



Hehehehe

Almost impossible, they will have four games left after us. So would need to be 13 adrift at the end of that game. So Southampton would need 12 points from 5 games; Newcastle 11 in four games; Huddersfield 10 (5); West Ham 10 (5) and Swansea 10 (5). Newcastle and Stoke do not play until the Sunday or Monday respectively. In that time Huddersfield play Swansea; Newcastle v Southampton; Newcastle v Huddersfield; West ham v Southampton.

So there is a way, just, but all of the teams down there need to win games against the big boys to make it possible and Newcastle need to win four on the bounce.

Exactly. Could be WBA's nemesis by then, but unlikely any others will be mathematically down until at most three games left.

Funnily enough since Palace and their pathetic little supporters came to The Amex with their fireworks, flares and wherever else, I realise they just aren't on my radar any more. Didn't have ANY interest in the Cup game and they are now no more than a insignificant little club, currently playing in the same division as us. Interest levels now down amongst the likes of playing Middlesbrough or Hull etc. Just a speck on the windscreen!

 

[Jesus Gul]

They will be OK. Probably finish above us but as long as we don’t finish in the bottom 3.

He's running and doing ball work, but not doing twists/turns.

Let's twist and dive like I did last season;

Lets dive and claim for a penaltee..

If I were a Palace fan right now, my biggest fear would be soap and water.
