Really..?

Please remember, that many clubs have gone into administration and has resulted in much media coverage and interest from all football supporters. We can actually read reports, financial statements, etc etc etc you know.

Your club is special......they,ve done it twice, so that if we didn't quite grasp it the first time.....you,ve done it again...to emphasise the points.

And your point is.....

I'm not sure that the Palace fans noticed they have been repeatedly in administration. Either that, they're not bothered or they decided on a 'quiet' protest.

Quoted for truth.

Let's see what happens when your sugardaddy's money runs dry.
He paid for our stadium. He's not pumping money into the club for players & wages, our fans are paying for that by buying tickets, food and drink.

Correction, he loaned your club 90+mill, a debt you'll be paying off for many years to come. What about Mackail-Smith/Buckley? Not exactly bought on the cheap were they?

A debt that if we don't pay off by a certain date, simply gets converted into more equity in the club. Thanks to Mr Bloom's generosity, we are effectively debt-free. Unlike Palace, of course, who just default on them every few years.

Not to mention of course that Palace are consistently running at a loss. A situation unlikely to change with their apathetic support base. How long before their reluctant owners tire of it and become disillusioned?

Sadly, Palace's "plan B" failed when attempts to burn down smellhurst and claim on the insurance resulted in setting the rest of Croydon alight but by-passed the ground last year - rumours persist that they are trying to get the Olympic torch relay diverted in the hope of "an accident"......................... failing that, lifting the "no smoking" ban in the Arthur Wait stand might just do the job,

That's not a correction. He did pay for our ground. That it's written in the books as a loan doesn't mean he didn't pay for it. And how can we be paying it off for years, we're not even paying it off now. The reality is that the grounds of all clubs are worth money, and they belong to the owners (often with external debts attached). Even Selhurst is worth something, and belongs to your owners.
What about Mackail-Smith/Buckley? Not exactly bought on the cheap were they?
About £3.5 / £4m the pair? Less £1.5 for Bennett. Hardly huge money, and covered by our gate receipts and sales.

I thought you of all people wouldn't stoop to those levels, very disappointed :ohmy:

Didn't you know that that if Bha don't pay back a penny of the loan, good old Tony going to convert it to shares. Sounds too good to be true doesn't it ?
