Fair summary. I think it worked out for the best in the end. The more opinions that are expressed, the more depth there was to the discussion and that final answer was a very good way to round off the Q and A anyway.

So it's either Jesus or God.

Can we get back to what the thread is about, and not certain fans continually slagging each other off, and also, some of the stupid posts that have been posted IMO.

1.Whilst we need stability will you be looking for a more experianced Manager who will command the respect of the players and be given time & money to shape his own squad.We also need to keep some of the backroom staff as well. Dougie is one for the future and should be allowed to learn his trade with us, as he does know the club and has the respect of the players.It was also a good move to appoint Steve Kember as Chief Scout.(Possible long term planning)

2.The youth players that we have that have come into the squad have done well. Is it the boards plan to give these players medium to long term contracts to also give us stability and a good long term future.
To many times we have sold players just for that extra bit of cash.Two examples John Bostock who is going on loan to all sorts of clubs, and Wayne Routledge who has now had more clubs that Arnold Palmer, and he is still young.They should have been encouraged to stay at Palace.

3.It's about time Palace started to realise it's potential as a medium to big club. There is huge potential to attract fans going south from Croydon. What plans do you have to attract more fans.

4.Your comparing our wage bill to Doncaster, Swansea, etc.We are better than that and looking at the division as a whole we are one of the bigger teams (Although you wouldn't think so at the moment).Do you have a wage structure in place that will attract the right sort of players, and maybe reward them for success within that structure.

5.I know that you are working on this,but how far down the line are you with making the club shop larger and more inviting, with out fans bumping into each other at every turn. Also when i go into shops in Crawley, Horsham,etc,I see other clubs merchandise. What plans are there to possibly get our merchandise into some of these outlets. I know The previous chairman was against this, but I feel that was a big mistake.

6. Whilst it's a sensitive point about naming a Manager, and we will all find out in due course. I do think, that Managing Palace is a very attractive position.I have read that you have already received 10 enquiries,so, do you believe that an established Manager will move Palace forward in the direction that you are looking to go.

rub a dub dub who's buying the next round in the Pub?

This thread sums up perfectly why I don't like the "open environment" of club management we have entered.

I prefer the good old days of a press release and statement.

I appreciate what CPFC2010 are doing for the club and think they made the right decision but as owners they don't need to justify themselves to a lot of jumped up idiots and, quite honestly, I wish they wouldn't.

I know I'm pretty much alone in THAT thinking.

Yeah I sort of agree, it's great that they take the time to talk to us, but some one always has to ruin it!

Somewhere, sitting in his living room, a man named Colin W*nker tearfully realises that his name is an anagram of Neil Warnock.
