[Albion] Palace Fans Biggest Fear

[Sheebo]

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.

And yet my dear friend Doogle suggested I had an imaginary friend… Oops

As I have said before, top 10 is the plan with the occasional cup run, Palace have not got the budget for anything more, that’s just reality.

You have got to think most seasons there will be. Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool, man united, Chelsea, spurs and now Newcastle in the top 10, so most seasons there will be 3 places for the other 13 clubs to fight for.

I say most seasons as I can’t believe as much as I want to the spurs and Chelsea will be so shithouse.

Basically top 10 is the plan for most teams and if achieved must be thought of as being “ best of the rest”

A very balanced view as always Loz.
I think a season more of Roy with a clear succession plan is as low risk an approach as possible.
It doesn’t appear as if Palace are very active in the transfer market though. Is it a case of a successful window being able to keep hold of Guehi, Eze and Olise?

Welcome Roy. Onwards and upwards.

You are a pathetic desperate attention seeking loser. Sort your life out you bellend.

Look at loz's posts and learn. A decent poster who we like to interact with.

 

[Horses Arse]

So he's agreed three deals? Given that Palace have no say, that's what they must be saying. Bit odd, no?

Harsh - he’s just having a read up on a youngster we’ve been loosely linked to right now - what else would you be doing on a Monday evening

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

Losing the sell on clause won’t really matter because who will pay good money for him if you give him the 4 year deal that’s on the table. He’ll be nearly 35 at the end of it , anyway.

He should've taken the £200k when it was on offer ...

 

[Uh_huh_him]

I get the feeling this might be Wilf's 2 fingers to Beaky, after he welched on the verbal agreement on the last contract.
He was pretty pissed when he realised he had been conned.

Zaha has taken every penny from the contract and will be looking for a big free agent signing on fee.
If Palace want him back, it will be £200k a week + signing on fee (which they haven't got)

I cannot understand why any club would pay him £200,000per week, we've never gone anywhere near those levels of wages, that's £10m+ per year, it's just staggering for an average player at an average club

10 million if he helps them to stay up, is not a bad outlay to be fair.

 

[Stat Brother]

I believe their fans are looking for another (not quite) top 10 finish, next season.
I doubt Wilf, or Roy for that matter, can help with that.

Although he might be able to assist in their cup runs, assuming palace maintain the success of last season.

 

[Greg Bobkin]

Surely he's not 'Crystal Palace forward Wilfred Zaha' anymore, he's now just 'Wilfred Zaha', no?

 

[Stato]

I still think he'll get cold feet and sign Palace' s contract. The other three might be more money, but he was useless whenever he's not lived in South London. Like Dunky, he needs home. If Cardiff and Manchester were too much of a culture shock for him, how's he going to manage in Italy, Turkey or Saudi Arabia?

 

[dwayne]

Wow they've renewed all those cloggers?! We are light years away from this rubbish now. Ballers coming out of our ears and palace have to put up with another season of these donkeys.

Hilarious.

 

[eaglesdan]

That is not comparable to what we achieved you goon.

What, finishing 3rd in the top division? How is that not comparable? Goon back at you

As I mentioned a few days ago, number 1 priority is avoiding relegation, and will always be so for a club of our size, competing against the bigger London clubs. You may well have moved on and left us behind, in which case good luck to you. Perhaps you should look to appoint new rivals if we are no longer worthy

Do you think Dunky will ever go elsewhere?

Come on, every player dreams of playing in the SüperLig or the دوري المحترفين السعودي

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

10 million if he helps them to stay up, is not a bad outlay to be fair.

But the impact of the dressing room with 10-15% of the wages budget going on one player, why would you allow such a salary to be paid?
