Maybe they're giving him the option to work from home ?

Old, Ungifted and White

I'd imagine it'll be like when the Ben Kingsley character tries to convince the Ray Winstone character to come out of retirement in Sexy Beast.

Selhurst. Friday. Be there. Yes. Not no. Yes.

In fairness, it's not like you get confirmed statements from the club when we don't sign a player or a manager, so we don't know the whole story with Favre. Maybe he'd asked for something which we'd initially rejected but on reflection and discussion with the Americans the owners have changed their minds - maybe the yanks found some money under the bed? I seem to remember Pulis initially turning us down before eventually signing (again, this was rumours at the time).

This has already proved more entertaining than 80% of the games last season, so there is that!

What'd be quintessentially palace would be that we do manage to convince him and everything it's rosy... only for his work permit to be refused a week later.

Interesting debate going on in the Twitter sphere one theory being quoted is in the Tweet attached. If Parish et al do change Favre mind, does this bode future difficulties if he does change his mind?

Was David Nugent there ? Perhaps collecting the trolleys ?
