Lesscott you can't count. Came on in the 2nd half, game over when we had 3 chances we could've scored. W***er at Villa the way he acted online when they were getting relegated.

Kermit, you keep going on about this as if we could've achieved all modernising and kept the club in the prem all at once. How many clubs do that in 4/5 years?

The truth is they mainly modernise in the 2nd tier and then at some point get promotion. That was never an option Doing one or the other is more realistic, although not having more scouts is amateur as that will directly affect whether you're in the league.

And not to mention the planning restrictions to actually rebuild Selhurst. Then training grounds and land is not that readily available in SE or CR or BR postcodes. Being in Devon you may not notice.

In all likelihood if we do get relegated we will have profit in the bank. We made profit of £10mil in year 1, break even year 2, profit in year 3. I can't remember the exact figures but the prudence of Parish and FFP will mean that we'll start there with healthy finances, parachute payments and saleable asssets for players. They're just a gutless and characterless bunch all piled together.

And no teams do not get fleeced as much these days for their players when they're relegated. And the big plus is most of the rubbish is out of contract in June so it's mainly players tempting promoted clubs or mid-lower prem clubs.

Things are bad football wise but I wouldn't worry or get as angry as you are regarding CPFC finances. There are 3 main things we need done:

Selhurst - Can't. Council and Sainsburys wanting whatever in their modernising which they're doing in some stores these days whilst Tesco aren't.

Training Ground - This is the London suburbs, Stoke. But I agree if we're relegated for any length of time it's an edge over the competition. Maybe another reason why it hasn't been hurried more. It doesn't pay dividends for a few years and only if in the 2nd tier for a few years.

Scouting - Poor really. Always relying on the manager's knowledge. Pardew? Well all he knew of away from MOTD was Souare who was no doubt being scouted by Mr Carr at Newcastle. Milovjevic? Allardyce tried to sign him before. Rincon. An amateur attempt and no 2nd bid. Ends up being signed for bl00dy Juventus. Best team in Italy. Dear oh dear.

Fear is the god damn hillsborough game!! Thread bare squad. Club on the brink. One player of total quality Ambrose and he stepped up. No fear at home, mid season, in the 4th year of prem experience, so called best squad ever.

Not playing for min £25/30,000 up to £100,000 a week. 3/4 year contract. And against a random bunch of average players. (kone Defoe excluded they pretty good!)

Worst 45 minutes for a long long long time. can't believe after 3 full years in the prem we got the same players in the squad that were barely good enough in our first season back. And they starters.

This new Serbian guy better be like Kante!! Sahko new Maldini.

Only good thing was it's over and I enjoyed watching Remy

We all know the wonders Parish and CPFC2010 have done for this club, but I have to point out. If we go down this year i'd say the brunt of the blame lies with SP.

Dont let Cabaye go

Nor do Many sides including Manchester City.
Still having a moan Maine.?

Palace 13th 2017/18.

Still got the blinkers on, Alan.

In your world Hennessey is a top class goalie and a perfect fit for us. Ever listen to FYP or HOL radio pods? Every single member of each team of people who go on those shows disagrees with you, every single pod, without exception. Ex Palace GK John Burridge thinks Hennessey is not the answer for us. Everyone I know, every Palace fan I ever talk to, is not happy with Hennessey.

But they all must be wrong and you are right, Alan.

Alan can you reply to a post without mentioning a comparison to a top six side, like Man City?

You are not so hot in the comparison game I think;

You once compared Peter Cech and Hennessey.

Comparing Man City's squad depth to ours is very similar to comparing Hennessey and Cech.

I see you are from Dunstable. I used to live in Tebworth as a nipper. You must have gone dizzy from driving around all of those roundabouts in Milton Keynes, Alan, and maybe its affecting your comparison making ability.

If you want to compare a team with worse depth at goalie and striker, you might need to trawl the Sunday leagues.
