I turned down at job at Fortnum & Mason as the guy who was gonna be my boss was Palace. That was 20 years ago but I just couldn't bear working with one of them.
Yes, but not when that wrong-un Jordan run them. They were well known for screwing over small businesses, and not paying them, and his brother was supposed to be an absolute moron who thought he did business like Carling in Scum.
In my opinion you would be better working for a club you don't support than one you do. Imagine losing at the weekend then going into work on Monday and having to face it all again. Granted this season it might be a joy but what about working there on a relegation season? Better to not be emotionally involved in your work unless you own it.
No problem working for Palace. Anyone who says otherwise hasn't got a professional bone in their body. Unless the employer did something that i found utterly uncoscionable (I'd find it difficult to work for the tobacco industry, for instance - and not sure I'd run the IT infrastructure of the Norwegian Whaling Commission) then I'd have no issue working for them, and would give it my all every minute i was employed by them.

Needless to say no palarse supporter ever worked for me until I handed the interviews over to somebody else.
A bloke did come to work for me who supported palarse and I did tell him he would never have got the job if I had done the interview.
I used to have my contents insurance with Churchill. Once they sponsored the feathered ones I cancelled the policy!
....or re-engineer them into Charlton supporters - 'Stepford Wives' style by making them watch the DVD of the '98 Play-off final over and over.
Not sure I could with Millwall though.
