Zamora death threat

[Roger Mellie]

According to the mirror Zamora pulled out of signing for the scum at the last minute because of death threats from Brighton fans. Anybody want to own up??

I think it was actually because Simon Jordan refuses to pay agents fees, or at very least the size agents fee that they want, hence most of Palace's transfer deals collapse.

Blaming it on Brighton fans was an easy way to shift the blame.

The supposed death threats were to his mobile so surely the only people who have that are going to be people he knows, who are unlikely to give it to someone who is going to threaten him or send him death threats themselves.

We can put this down to Simon Jordan being a scummer I think.

ZAMORA THREATS Feb 6 2005







CRYSTAL PALACE chairman Simon Jordan has revealed how West Ham striker Bobby Zamora rejected a £1m deadline day move to Selhurst Park after receiving death threats.

Palace had agreed a £1m fee and personal terms with the former Brighton striker, only for Zamora to pull out at the 11th hour.

Jordan said: "Everything was in place. We had agreed a £1m fee with West Ham and reached agreement over the player's personal terms.

"But Zamora pulled out at the last moment, bizarrely claiming he had been threatened with death if he went through with the move."

It is believed those threats came from fans of Zamora's former club Brighton, who view Palace as deadly rivals.

More likely he sobered up and realised what a terrible mistake he was making. If he did claim death threats as an excuse that'll do for me.

i think Palace fans are as likely to have threatened him as Albion fans

True and SJ did say it could have been either set of fans.

death threats from the brighton massive - scary thought indeed

What a load of bollocks! If he was getting these on his mobile the police could trace them surley!

True, it's probably the first thing he could think of - blame the fans. There would have been some sort of investigation if he was sent death threats surely. Me thinks SJ is hiding something about why Zamora pulled out. Typical Scummer
