Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

Says who?

What exactly makes Palace Palace? What exactly are you proud of?

Last time I looked, it was a football club.

Our mantra has always been South London and Proud - there is a unique community family feel about Palace that includes the Foundation which you simply don't get at other clubs as they're more generic and lack soul.

I'm not sure someone coming in who has moaned about too many black people at a BLM protest is going to be warmly welcomed in a hotbed of black players, staff and the public.

We shall see.

There's no unique community family feel at Palace, you get that at every club in the country, well you won't because guess what, you're not part of that community and every club has involvement with their local area, schools, hospitals, charities etc. We're a football club, an irrelevant one to most other people in the world.

I dont really care about the macro issue. I cant imagine there are many owners out there without questionably morals/views.

Apart from the 'mega clubs' Utd, City, Liverpool etc all other clubs could claim this. Palace aren't unique.

You're wrong.

I would put us and maybe Fulham in that family-feel bracket.

You think Man Utd have a family feel when 90% of their supporters are glory-hunters and watch them from afar?

Don't be naive.
 
Woody coming through with the big bucks. Bloke is clearly a tool but oh well, as long as Textor is out of the picture then who really cares?

Trump tagging along with him to Selhurst is pure fantasy. If I did ever happen I’ll buy a ticket in the main stand for the game and peanut his stupid red tie, the fat orange w@nker (I’m dead serious, promise 🤥🤥)

All palace maga philistines & flag shaggers deserve a good smack. Meet me on the AW Stairs most match days, and mark my words, I will furiously beat you off.

Glasner is a socialist. Eaglessss

What about say Hereford United or Berwick Rangers? Ive got mates at both of them and they are always singing the glory of their family of fans. There are literally hundreds of clubs like that.....even Man Utd in Manchester and Liverpool have fans like that, thousands of them. The glory of our sport.
 
Until Harris and Blitze want out, nothing will change on our current structure as Woody inherits Textor's 25% voting rights. So unless they all want Parish out, he will remain as MD.
Doubt Woody would contemplate running Palace. He's got his hands full with the NY Jets and he is 79. Can't see him coming over every fortnight.

If you've been around for as long as I have as a Palace fan you'll know our 'mantra' as you put it (incredibly pompous description) has NOT always been South London and proud. This was only really pushed as an agenda 15? 20 years ago. Palace has not always been looked upon as a family club either. 70s and 80s it was not very 'family friendly'.
I love my football club and always will but lets not pretend we are unique. If you think that I'm sorry to say you are wrong.
As for Woody Johnson? He is entitled to his opinion. Lots of people (black as well as white) have become sick of the Marxist BLM movement. Wilfred Zaha happens to be one.
We dont have to agree with him. If he does his bit to look after our club and helps push it forward its frankly none of mine or your business what his politics or ideas are.
When Blitzer came in many wet their pants over that as he has a reputation for being an asset stripper. He has largely stayed out of club matters and let Parish run things.

Give the bloke a chance FFS
 
Wonder what our 5% shareholder, Franco is making of all of this.
We now have Woody 43%, Blitzer and Harris 18% each, Franco 5%, so presumably Parish has 16%.
I would imagine he is loving it.
