"Players have to be paid - whether I agree with their moral scruples or contribution to the football club"
Thats nice, he's agreed to pay contracts that he or one of his underlings made.
Very similar pickle to us, though we've got a decent stadium in place and they have probably been more frugal with the wages.
I don't doubt the money he is pumping in, is in the form of friendly debt rather than gifts, which could give him a problem when he tries to offload the club.
The beauty of all this is that he cannot off load Palarse to another fool. He has been trying for long enough and now clearly it is hurting his pocket big time. This little tirade is hardly going to encourage a buyer unless Uncle Ron steps back into the fray. Obviously they will have to sell their better players and replace with Bosmans. They are very fortunate to have Colin as their shrewd manager otherwise things would get a lot worse. Methinks Churley and the other nigels should not be braying too much because this time next year.....
He had no other choice than to bung in the money. It was either that or go into administration and lose all his money. I absolute hate the bloke and the so called football club, but, at least he is keeping them in business and I don't want any club to close down

Palace have reported interest in a couple of there young prospects (Moses and Clyne). However at the moment its all just paper talk, the same as it is with your young prospect Jonjo. Whether theres any truth in it, I'm not sure, some feel it's Palace trying to get a bidding war going, however one thing that can't be denied is that SJ needs to either find his buyer soon, or to generate some income by moving on at least one of our youngsters.
The realism though is that Palace are as they have always been a selling club, and that to keep a football club running profitably is virtually impossible, and as a Palace supporter, I'm very grateful he still has some cash left, and hope that he has enough, till he manages to find his buyer.
Has there ever been a player more relentlessly hyped, than Moses. He was going to be England's number one striker. Real Madrid were kicking Tango's doors in. Within a couple of years he's matured into a very average Championship player. If they got 2M for him, they'd be wetting themselves IMO. He'll be a couple of seasons at Wigan, then back, I reckon. Bruce Dyer for the new millenium.
The top handful of Prem clubs. The bulk of the money they are spending is going abroad as usual. Not much being spent on home grown talent. Some of the fees being talked about on players I've never even heard of is beyond belief. Not sustainable.

What now he hasnt got his stalker to blow it for him>?
Me, me, me, me......

Surprised he did not add "Apart from seeing Charlton being relegated and their protracted takeover - enjoy Div 1 Tosser's" maybe he loves us really

LOL but IF IF IF he has put another £5m then credit to him but...
Hasn't already charged all the club's assets to Portillo's off-shore banking business?
Weren't they covering running costs prior to a sale? Have they stepped away.
And £5m over a summer? How much are they flipping losing PA?
Where's Churley1 when you want him? : - )
Budgie/Son of Selhurst - would appreciate some intelligent Palace based comments.

Would be interesting to read what the Trust at Palace think. Addickted?
"Its so sad to be reading this news on Palace....."
Anyone on here agree ..... ?

Keep taking the tablets, LoOkie.
;o)
I heard that as well. £1.2m upfront and the rest on appearances (£200k per 20 games)
GIve Jordan his due here, as he could have easily not put more any money in.
Some people may laugh at Palace, but this could be us one day.
Something needs to be done and fast or soon we'll have only Prem clubs left, with thousads of fans left clubless.
Ouch! below the belt Dan.
