Pay the programme printers in advance or they won't deliver the programmes (as they threatened to do before)
Pay the players who are still there as they have to turn out on Saturday
Don't play the players who have left as they aren't around and you can have a moan about having to pay them anything despite you agreeing the contracts personally.
As for one of the best youth academies because 13 players have appeared that doesn't automatically follow.
Charlton must have played 7 or 8 academy products last season plus we "sold" a player to Man Utd.
Was this because our academy is so great or, because like Palace, it was a case of making a virtue out of a necessity.
Well they ain't done themselves any favours with the signing of Stern John, our paper reported the Palace contract was worth 2 times the amount of ours, Ours was £4.5k per week so he must be on around £9k a week....

Players contracts are a bit like a penis.
It's not just size but length as well ; - )
So a two year contract at Palace might well be worth twice as much as a one year contract at Saints even if the wages are the same.

They are to be found at Millwall matches.

I seriously doubt that Jordan is paying someone 9K per week at Palace - they would not pay Hudson 11K last year so how are they going to pay a veteran like John 9K this year? No, even in the CCC, most players would be lucky to get 5K per week in the current climate. At our level we'd be lucky to be paying 2-3K per week.
[cite]Posted By: Addickted[/cite]Just heard that Bristol City have reported Palace to the FA for not paying the due installment of £250k for Nick Carle.
Go on Jordan - dig deep.
But Jordan said it was only bonuses for players who had left which hadn't been paid.
Surely Mr "I've re-united the club and the Ground" Jordan wouldn't be economical with the truth?
We doubt Simon Jordan ever truly regrets saying anything.
But the Crystal Palace chairman might wish he had chosen his words slightly more carefully in an interview with The Surrey Comet in June when he discussed how he came to fund the art-house movie Telstar.
"I was at my desk at Crystal Palace desperately trying to avoid signing cheques and I decided to write an even bigger one for this film," he recalled.
Turns out he wasn't joking: Jordan's failure to sign those aforementioned cheques for the players Palace released at the end of last season prompted the Football League to impose a transfer embargo on the club this week.
Now nobody at Selhurst Park will be doing any kind of signing.

[cite]Posted By: Covered End[/cite]The transfer embargo has been removed so Jordan must have paid up :-(
The first installment of the SKY money came into his coffers last week.
I heard they had rung around and offered a load of 5yr season tickets at £200 (or some other stupid figure). Which of course is a good way of raising money until you workout how much long-term revenue theyre giving away!

Only in our worst nightmares
It'd be a great idea.
I'm sure we could find a portacabin and stick it somewhere up by the Bartram gates and give them a corner of the superstore and charge them an exorbitant rent.

Pay HMR&C as they will issue a winding up order
Pay EDF as otherwise they will cut the power off.

He's one a one year at Palace I think.
Are there any other characters from Grimm's Fairytales in the Football league?

No suggestion as to why but can only assume further none payments to players and/or other clubs.
