[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[Uh_huh_him]

I have seen a few Palace accounts explaining the lack of any meaningful signings as being due to the new stand.
Question for Palace fans.

How do you feel about the new stand?
Is it a priority?

I don't see how you can expect to see any increase in revenue, in the short term, unless the owners are going to write-off the investment (£200m).
Surely that's unlikely isn't it?

Just shown that to a colleague who is palace. Her face was priceless.

In the news of Roy's appointment, he does say that the target is a top half finish, which I would happily take now. Who knows, Wilf could become his first signing! At least IF he does sign again, I believe we would lose the sell on clause to ManUre from when he returned

top ten finish my arse.

It is actually a real shame that they are taking advantage of an elderly person, probably offered him a lifetimes supply of Werther's original's and a bus pass.

I just feel sorry for the poor sod.

I will admit jealousy to you going on a European tour, regardless of who its against. We had one game in the InterToto cup back in the day, against an unknown Turkish team. The big regret is when we finished 3rd in the top division in 1991, but never got to play in Europe the following season. Firstly, there were only a couple of places up for grabs as England were only just starting up again in Europe after Heysel, and then UEFA reduced the additional ban against Liverpool, who finished 2nd, to mean we lost out on a place.
Best chance we ever had of finishing in a European place

Pls can your lot stop comparing finishing bottom of the league and having one game in a trial competition (as nobody else applied for it) in the same sentence as what we’ve achieved. It’s desperate. Thanks.

I call BS on this. He qualified for bus pass in London 15 years ago.

Welcome Roy. Onwards and upwards.

Roy still your manager.
Zaha your 'first' signing.
No progress on the new stand.
Somewhere close to Top Ten the only ambition.

Welcome Roy. Onwards and upwards.

Welcome Dougal. Inwards and downwards.

Welcome Roy. Onwards and upwards.

I think that looking at the positions for the last ten seasons we can conclude that it will be onwards and sideways.

Palace, 11th-14th anyone ? No prizes.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Welcome Roy. Onwards and upwards.

When I think about modern, progressive, 2023 Premier League football, I think about Ray ‘bloody’ Lewington. What-a-coach!

Just a bit ruddy jealous of you guys here on the south coast with a bunch of unknown no-name Italians. Whilst we could be toast, you’ll be shooting for the top 6!

Best of luck next season.

I wonder how far down Tony's list of potential Albion managers Roy is ?

That is not comparable to what we achieved you goon.

Told ya

Article in athletic supporting the view that Pottet saw Palace as too much of a drop in status/quality/potential/everything. This from a Palace following media bod:-

there was also a question mark over whether Potter was ready to return to football following his bruising time at Stamford Bridge and if he would set his sights higher than Palace when he did.

More chance of being on the celebrity death list
