That was your style - theirs is different - no right or wrong just how they want to play things

Mark Goldberg by any chance??

No offence to you but running a Non-League club that normally has a far smaller fan base, in comparison to a Championship football club are two different things.... I am sure my wife's grandfather would agree with that as he was Vice Chairman at Sutton United!! The pressures I am sure are completely differential.

I think the thing here is that Steve, as a Palace fan, seems to feel that this club belongs not only to him but also to the fans. By doing this he is repaying all the gratitude to those fans who kept the belief of the club staying in business. It's a learning curve for all concerned and I am sure, like their predecessors, CPFC 2010 are going to make mistakes along the way, make wrong decisions, appointments and I think it is great that throughout the administration process, throughout the takeover process and through the season so far they have been completely transparent and up front with the fans. They have given the fans reasons for their actions and have admitted they could have done things differently.

As a fan of this wonderful club that makes me feel more a part of the club and I can only be grateful that we have people in charge like this. It is refreshing to see that the chairmen have these open forums on Palace sites rather than confine them to the club for a select few. It allows us fans to be more involved and for that I thank them. Of course you are going to get the odd few who ask too much or aren't going to agree, but I am sure they have come across that in their former lines of business.

Anyway, onwards and upwards and lets hope Dougie starts off his temporary charge with a win against Preston tomorrow.

Let's hope so, I think we all really deserve something to cheer about and properly kick start our season. We are a far better team than our position suggests.

Cut them some slack guys, they are not Simon Jordan in disguise. Some frankness won't do any harm. We should be glad they are willing to be open with us. It won't help the opposition in any way that I can work out to know that our wage budget is higher or lower than someone elses.

We need to win a few matches now. Getting decent players in will be a part of that and I am glad the owners realise that.

Red and Blue Army!

Can someone point me to the "swoon" icon, please?
