Just finished reading SJ's autobiography and it's clear the man was a) a genuine Palace fan b) an egotistical pain in the rear and c) a dreamer who believed we had the potential to be a major player, and d) a risk taker who lost his cash and almost lost our club ... although there are strong hints in his book that going into administration was engineered to enable a takeover and going bust was never going to happen.

SP is also a Palace fan, definitely less in your face than SJ, and clearly not prepared to take a risk with the club's or his cash. It makes him a safer bet than SJ, but may mean we don't survive in this league. Are we happy to accept that as the sensible option?

School, SN.Juniors, SN High, Selhurst. 1st match 1972 CP 2 N. Utd 1. Thank you, John Jackson and Vince Hilair for brightening our darkest days. I moved to the west country in 1983. Always Proud and 'Glad All Over' to be a Palace Fan. ))

SJ was not risk taker he just didn't know what the hell he was doing to begin with and didn't want to learn his ego expected everything to change around him because he didn't like how it was.

SP is different in he knew he didn't understand how it worked so he has tried to learn it.

Risk taker name dropper and not the ground owner.
