It is a bit confusing to be fair, because reading it now with that bit (presumably and quite understandably removed) it's not apparent what it is you objected to.

While not the same, given that you could buy and sell players during the season, until the last few weeks or so, but in 1977/8 we signed
Teddy Maybank
Mark Lawrenson
Peter Sayer
Gary Williams
Graham Moseley
Eric Potts
Peter Ruggiero
Paul Clark
Not bad

And all due to…
Where has all of Palace's profit gone? Is it being put aside for the new stand?
No, they already have that ring-fenced, so this new money will be for one of the other three stands.

That was pretty mental, not only had we signed players from Man U, Valencia etc. We'd actually heard of Bridge and Kuschak. It felt like we'd bought the massive upgrade for so many positions to play tappy tappy football at the next level. Still not as crazy as this summer though.

The '...signed a Mason Greenwood...' bit, plus the note to say it was edited by a moderator made it pretty clear to me what was there before.
Back to the OP, this current transfer window could be season-defining.

i think he wanted established players, who were likely to come straight into the first team.
The likes of Weiffer, Kadioglu, O'riley and probably Rutter, would have pleased him
That was a period of time we didn’t sign Zamora in that transfer window and Steele was after. I think Jones was too.
That was a great list ... but it was John Ruggiero, not Peter
Blimey mate, I never said you did.I didn't. Stop saying I did, I didn't. Stop accusing me of something I haven't done. That's libel.
I didn't say he was
You didn't quote the whole post, you removed the post they must have originally made. If what you had to say was private between you and one poster, then perhaps send them a PM, rather than post on an open forum for us to all read. Reading your post it looked like you were saying we're not allowed to criticise Mason for any reason, or to criticise RDZ. It's quite reasonable for forum members to question that, and I wasn't being pedantic.
Now another poster has said that you must have been referring to something that was no longer on the forum. It's not my fault that your post was confusing.
It was @Whoislloydy whise post I edited. For some reason you asked for clarification.
Fair enough. I’d rather have a comment removed and some confusion than one of our users in trouble over someone like Greenwood.
Ultimately there was no need for anyone else to comment or join in. If in doubt in the future PM me

I've seen a few people on here and on Reddit (or perhaps the same person in both places) claiming, very specifically, that Roberto De Zerbi wanted to sign Greenwood for Brighton.
When I ask for evidence of that, they don't respond.
Nothing remotely like this was ever reported or even rumoured while RDZ was in charge of Brighton. As far as I can tell, it's a complete fabrication some twat has made up.
I really wish people wouldn't post their coked-up fever dreams as fact.

maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Its the simple understated ones that I like.
Like 2016-17 - Duffy, Murray, Sidwell, Norwood, that'll do, bang, promotion.

Oh yes I see. You posted "Stop calling Greenwood a rapist. Legally he isn’t" to me and that confused me. I realise you were just answering my 'stop what' question.
As a mod you were telling a user not to post things and whatever rule you were trying to convey to them obviously applies to the rest of us too. It makes sense that we know the rules, and it looked to most of us that he hadn't posted anything wrong - simply because anything wrong had already been removed. I had no idea at the time you had edited their post.
No worries. It should say “last edited by a moderator” on but it’s not that obvious. Like I said to Sid, always happy to clarify over a PM. Apologies for the confusion.
Given that when he left there was talk of different approaches (I think that’s how RDZ described it), either RDZ wasn’t happy with our summer plans or Tony Bloom didn’t share them with RDZ as he wanted rid of him. I guess we’ll never know for sure. Unless TB writes an autobiography - which would be fascinating but I can’t see it happening.
