Pedant alert. Can I point out a typo in the above article , the DM added another 5 to Winifred's transfer value.
... and the spelling of the word 'publically'.

Joke of a club. Hopefully their slide down the table is imminent.
LLCS has certainly been acting a right tool since Dougie left, with his constant " I know what really happened " attitude, and having sly digs at the owners ever since.
BUT that doesn't excuse SP's posts last night, it should have been sorted out privately, and not on a fans forum site.
Not the first time though is it. Pretty embarrassing, much like DMAC at Peterborough every now and again
Its on The Mail website now.

Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has come under fire after using a supporters internet chat forum to threaten a fan with legal action.
Parish became embroiled in a bitter war of words with a Palace fan posting as 'LLCOOLSTEVE' after being accused of lying about the clubs intentions with regard to the ongoing transfer speculation surrounding £55m-rated Palace starlet Wilfried Zaha.
Posting as 'CPFC2010', the name of the consortium which rescued the club from administration, Parish last night wrote the ominous warning: "Call me a liar on here once more, insinuate you know something that I know you don't or just isn't true and you better start saving your pocket money for a LAWYER, right ?".
Other fans were quickly simpering with delight at the Palace chairman's public display of strength, posting numerous messages of support, but not everyone was impressed. Crystal Palace Supporters Club chairman Rikki Runnacles said of the spat: "It's not the sort of thing you want the chairman getting involved with to be honest. We have a number of very challenged supporters who are still allowed unsupervised access to computers. When they're not browsing squirrel porn or masturbating furiously to this seasons latest penalties montage on YouTube, inevitably some of them find their way onto these fans forums which gives them a public platform on which they often excrete their confused drivel".
"Most of the time its harmless cack" he went on, "but one particular spud has really got under the skin of our Disney Prince chairman, who unfortunately decided the best way to deal with it would be to publically bully and humiliate him in front of a braying bunch of sycophantic arsehats".
The explosive row has seemingly been diffused after Palace co-owner Steve Browett later posted that he had resolved the matter with the crazed fan in a telephone conversation last night. But the saga has done little to dispel Palace's "joke club" image amongst football fans in general, with their comedy Worzel Gummidge manager, slum ground, slag cheerleaders, vile kit and dwindling support.
Steve Parish in contemplative mood yesterday. "Should I have sed them fings ?"
I'm not one to stick up for Palace but I have to laugh at the reaction of NSC. I understand Parish is a self made multi millionaire. He and a few others have bought their football team and they are struggling to keep a club with about 12000 punters in the promotion race for the Premier league. Given we get double the amount through the gate than they do then that is some achievement to be above us. If this self made millionaire wants to tell some fan the facts of life then, as he is a self made successful person then that is up to him if you ask me and I do have to ask all those that have a pop at him, how successful are you and what have you achieved compared to Parish?
Good to see "working class pride" transform itself into "shut up and listen to folk who have lots of money".
Let them hav it Steve
Going to ask him to start posting on here ,here sort the men out from the boys
Blokes done a lot for palace saved the club from the brink and turned us onto a promotion chasing side on a shoe string I have no problem with him defending himself on on the bbs and to be fair to him you can always ask him a question on the bbs and he will always do his best to give you a answer do ypu know any other chairman who would bother

But he is the Chairman of a a championship team? Honestly, the guy is a total moron! If he was our chairman I'd be embarrassed beyond belief
Oh yes, please, please, please do.
Mate, this bloke is a self made millionaire. Maybe come back when you have achieved anywhere near what he has achieved? He and 3 others are paying for palace, they get half our crowds but are above us and when people work out the maths of that in terms of revenue then if he has a pop at someone who has not worked this out then that is up to him. He certainly doesn't need your permission to speak his mind.
Please elaborate for those who weren't on NSC at that time?
