great, so now we are going to have every wannabe bad boy rapper footy player there is want to sign up for us, just because of his name.. and hope to branch into music...

Still could be a lure for beckham come september!!

Thinking of it, why doesn't just buy a club... player, chairman, walking advert all in one...

This was once a quality forum....

The Saga Continues...

I would laugh my bollocks off if there's even an ounce of truth. It'd be great.

Optimistic as ever

Sean Combs is a massively intellectual fella though. Very well educated, and doesnt actually come from the hard knocks lifestyle most rappers brag about. He's by far one of the best young business men about, with success in near on everything he's put his hand to, music, clothing, aftershave etc.
His drive can only be a beneficial factor for palace - regardless of what his hype is all about, he's a very very clever man.

I for one would be all for him taking over the helm at palace.

just a little insight;
Business ventures
In 2002, he was featured on Fortune magazine's "40 Richest People Under 40" list[32] and was placed number one in the list of the top ten richest people in hip-hop. He has donated undisclosed amounts to the Patricia Kirby Foundation, an organization that battles teenage bulimia, anorexia and other eating disorders.[citation needed] In 2006 his estimated worth was US $346 million, making him one of the richest people in the hip hop entertainment business.[4][33]

im sure that Simon Jordan never reached those heights!

Being an older Palace fan I think I would rather be reading that Michael Buble was in talks to buy us Then again, I guess he is more of a Westham fan?

A truly heart-warming thread so far....

Now whilst I continue to take this with a (LARGE) pinch of salt, if there is one thing that the mighty CPFC has taught me, is that if it is utterly ridiculous and 'impossible' it is probably going to happen!

On a side note - IF (and that is a big IF)this were true, and he did buy us out, he would probably be a background chairman. He'd promote the club across the globe, which would probably become our largest money generator. This is what would make this deal exciting should it ever happen. We'd make more money from marketing than footy!

It is just about possible that this could be linked with Winston McKenzie for the following reasons:

1. The article mentioned that P Diddy was in London a couple of weeks ago meeting with football fixers (the same time as McKenzie gave his interview to the SLP & the Adder.

2. He (McKenzie) said he was working on the behalf from an overseas investor who was very serious and that whilst he would not disclose his name said that people would know who he is.

3. It's Palace after all, and is just the sort of random nonsense that befalls our club from time to time

This is probably all a load of rubbish, but the news is breaking from a lot of different places - and that is sometimes indicative that there is more to it than initially we have given it credit for.

If this happened, we could have a background chairman in P Diddy and an acting 'Director' in McKenzie...I wonder how the hell that would play out...
