Unless you're in the environment yourself (which you're not) you have no idea whether it's divisive. I saw a list of some of the top players in the Euros, including John Stones, who are all out of contract. It's normal in football. I doubt the players are wetting the bed about it like some fans are.

Townsend was saying on his Talksport slot that all the players have been spoken to by the club and know where things are.

Edited by Frickin Saweet (02 Jul 2021 5.42pm)

John Stones probably isn't wetting the bed because he signed a 6 year contract 5 years ago. Having players you plan to (need to) retain actually run their contract down really isn't normal.

If you're Andros Townsend this time next Friday and Palace haven't got a manager and he isn't being paid and doesn't have a club to train with, and Brentford/Brighton/Southampton offer him a contract matching his terms, you sure he wouldn't be tempted?

So have the players who have been " offered a new contract" accepted per your source?

If yes then presumably they would have been there for testing today which if there is any truth in the Standard piece, they were not.

I still look forward to seeing your Paddy Power payment on Vieira by the way.

Also, regarding the bet. He says that he put two £50 bets on other targets but his betting screenshot only showed 1 open bet.

To be fair I don’t blame Dazza. I reckon he’s just feeding back what he gets told, which is fair enough.
However, if I was him, I’d name and shame the individual that keeps feeding him this bollox! (Because, on the face of it, that’s what most of it appears to have been).

Steve's booked in at the local massage parlour for 10am Monday morning. He'll be getting one (leg) over the line. Appoinment made. Job done.

Why do you think 'Susanna' hasn't been on GMB for the last 3 days . . .

Just replying to your post

 


This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

You seem to be forgetting that Parisg
H saved the club and is thus all seeing and all knowing.

He has allowed this to happen as part of a masterplan.

We are breaking new ground here and clearly focusing now on a team not an over bloated squad. Just have the 11 and the subs and make sure they are in their prime and immune to injury.

Add that to the fact this lot are so slick they don't need a manager. They rely on pure instinct and we have the blueprint for the future.

Steve knows best.

I am sure things happening behind the scenes and with Brian Kidd leaving citeh today I guess it will be him joining Viera.
>t doesn't matter about the fans at this stage - this is a business and the players are a part of that and looking in from the outside the business is being badly run right now.
On the face of it - an absolute joke to be honest.
The media say what they want as do we but we have players out of contract, no Manager and training starts next week.
They could amaze us all and sort it all out over the weekend and get started but something seems wrong to me otherwise it should be sorted.
Maybe PV wanted Kidd before he signed - who knows.
Right now it needs sorting quickly otherwise down we go.

4th favourites to go down. That’s fine but the lack of any sort of news is poor. I’ve been a fan since about 1973 when I was 6 and my Dad took me. He was a fan and my grandad was a fan before we played at Selhurst Park.
With my grandson my family are now into the 5th generation of fans and I have to say that, notwithstanding the Goldberg stuff, Lombardo and Brolin managing us, the administrations etc - this is the most annoyed I’ve felt. It’s absolute s***e.
You don’t start pre-season with a load of players out of contract and no manager and expect to stay up.
WTF is going on? At least when we marched on the bank there was something we could do (even if, at the time, we felt it futile). This is a f***ing joke. And it’s not bed wetting - it’s annoyance at the lack of an official calming voice or announcement.

The total silence is thoroughly disrespectful to the fans.

Edited by Helmet46 (02 Jul 2021 5.47pm)

With genuine respect, I could not disagree with you more. I don't want the club saying a single thing until a deal is done. I don't understand the sense of entitlement that so many people seem to have regarding information.

Brian Kidd is marginally younger than Roy but still in his 70's I cannot see us offering him one last pay day or indeed him wanting one.

I am certainly not expecting to see him at our club.

I could not agree more. They forgot the fans, taking us for granted.

We are birds on the same twig on this matter.
The club will make an announcement when negotiations are concluded and contracts signed.We should not expect any running commentary of proceedings.

Fair, but there is a gap somewhere in between a running commentary and nothing at all. We are the most important stakeholders after all.

Thing is PE, what can the club tell us that doesn't compromise their negotiating position and which we can't already work out for ourselves?

That being the case, one wonders why we check on here for any news, we might as well just check the bbc football news and wait for "Breaking News".

There is no panic we have the following Players:

GK - Guieta - Butland

RB - Ferguson (injured) - Ward (Offered new contract)

LB - Mitchell - Hannam

CB - Tompkins - Cahill (New Contract Offered) - Kelly

CM - Luka - Kouyate - McArthur - Riedewald - Eze (Injured)

LW - Zaha - Schlupp

RW - Townsend (Offered New Contract)

CF - Benteke - Mateta - Ayew

That’s a 20 msn squad plus a couple of U21s not mentioned & we will bring in 5-6 new players.

Vieira will be announced with around 4 back room staff at least 3 with experience.

Please shut up Dazza. Keep digging and digging. Give up, you and your contact know nothing!! Probably someone with no friends and this is what they call entertainment. A feeling of being wanted, craving attention.
