I wouldn't want any club to go bust - let's face it, despite being comedy gold on so many levels, they have fans that are fans for the same reason many of us support Charlton; Family ties, place of birth, new locations etc. etc.
So lets not wish they go bust.
Lets hope they suffer the same fate as our last few years but with bells on, until such time as their local derby is Croydon Athletic and out of ironic desperation they revert to Claret and Blue and call themselves The Glaziers. Please let it happen...
Same. Only club I would wish that on is MK cons
i don't see a lot of difference between MK Dons and Asenal and Milwall to be honest - all 3 upped sticks from their origins thinking it would be better elsewhere - only difference is they didn't change their names - all 3 are basically deserters though
We moved a couple of miles across the river because we basically out grew the island. We retained most of our support from the island at the time with fans walking the short distance through the tunnels to carry on watching the team. We kept the clubs identity and kept it in the heart of the docklands, albeit on the other side of the river.
Wimbledon was bought by someone who wanted league football for his town but couldn’t be arsed to buy the local non league club and bring it up through the leagues. He moved them 75 miles away, shred almost all of the clubs identity and in the process lost probably 99.99% of its traditional support.

Woolwich Arsenal changed their name. Millwall Rovers changed to Millwall Athletic and then Millwall.
So, if you're looking for an example of a club that moved in, thinking it would be better elsewhere, but that kept their name, look no further than Charlton Athletic. Who did it at least three times.
who's side r u on...? the club made some temporary errors but the fans always knew where home was and returned - not like this trio of nomads
in fact , you've just proved there is no difference with them 3 - mk dons are the modern version of millwall and arsenal
Incomparable imo. MK Dons effectively were a new club who bought another club’s league’s position. It was very clever but wholly wrong.
Spot on. And the only reason they are the only club I would take pleasure from seeing go bust. Don’t get me wrong, i would absolutely love to see palace and west ham go tits up and bomb down the leagues. But I would never take pleasure from seeing any traditional football club go out of business.

You're going soft mate.
Don’t fall for that old chestnut, he’s got a parole board hearing coming up! 😉
Roy deserves better and should walk away with his head held high. Decent, footballing man wasted on a pretentious nomark jammy Surrey excuse for a football club!
Agree with the sentiment, just needed a little extra!
Palace fans should hold Roy with the highest esteem. He came out of retirement because Palace was heading for relegation material under Viera and stopped the rot.
Hope it's nothing serious and he gets well soon, then decides.maybe 76 is too old to be in such a stressful and full-on job and jacks it in for a happy retirement.

Not working well so far.
I like the sub-header to this article: In Australia, the name Nigel is so deeply unpopular that it’s used as shorthand for someone without any friends
Especially that twat with the megaphone.
Palace seem to be after Kieran McKenna as their next manager.
Looks like Hodgson is gone , Oliver Glasner formally of Frankfurt is in talks.
Hodgson press conference cancelled
Wish him a speedy recovery.
