Surely if the amount was included in previous years accounts, its right that it should appear in these accounts, as it corrects the previous loss.

There are no legends in football, but there are good memories...

Although you are correct your point is completely irrelevant as I wasn't commenting on the accuracy of the accounts but the accuracy of someone else's analysis of the year's profits as it completely failed to mention that almost 40% of the club's profits came from clawing back a bonus paid in previous years plus a recovery of legal costs associated with that

I believe that football league clubs really struggled when the Irish TV Setanta when bust? So yes you are correct it is never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket. I guess that is why the Premier League clubs are always looking to diversify.

One more point

There is a note in there saying that the club retained the 'deposit' & infers that it is the end of the matter.

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

Thats basicly what happened to Scottish football when Setanta went down, I think 6 of the 12 at the time filed for bankruptcy since then. Scotish football has adapted since then but it probably set the league back a decade. Even now, Gary Lineker gets more in TV money than the whole Scottish Premiership. Everyone has preducted our bubble will burst for the last 10 years but the amounts just keep growing. It might stop growing but I dont think it will ever collapse...

Is IPTV available on just normal smart tv?

A lot of the football I watch is Palace away games on a paid for £42 a year quality picture on a widescreen laptop. Not too good via my Firestick but that may be my bt homehub and distance from the Firestick. I watch more games but not constantly so full tv subscriptions are not worth the money to me.

Who is that 42 a year subscription with Rudi?
I would be happy to pay that for a reliable stream provider, legal or illegal. The constant searching and trying during games is not adding to any pleasure watching games.
Fairly decent coverage here in Holland for the PL. More availability and far cheaper then in the UK.

Tbh Rudi I just hook my laptop up with a high speed HDMI cable and it does the job perfectly. Can’t remember seeing a smart tv option on mine, just firestick and the like.

And duly received, cheers.

You don't actually believe any of that do you?

The accounts that closed over a year ago have nothing whatsoever to with building works that don't start 'til the end of next season. We are committed to meet the infrastructure and other collateral costs that were part of our application being agreed. Who should be paying then? The council tax payers of Croydon? We've chosen to build a massive new stand and we either have the money to do that and all that it involves or we don't; your not suggesting that we now start playing the hard-up card are you?
