I never understood why we acquired him in the first place. Think of the goodwill if the club had just given away the money in Croydon town centre instead...

I remember it well, I had him in my dream team. I think he was injured for part of the season. Anyway, you're correct, not the best example.

I suspect talk of players not wanting to come to Palace because of the uncertain status regarding which Euro competition we end up in is a bit of a red herring. If the club is going to have a serious attempt at either competition then Glasner will presumably pick his strongest team, which as it...

SP - "Hello Roy, remember me, Steve Parish? I'm in a bit of bother Roy and I was rather hoping you could do an old friend a favour!" RH - "Hello Steve, yes I remember you... Now listen Steve, I've heard about what's going on." SP - "Really Roy? How?" RH - "I have my ways Steve, and by the way...

If the club wishes to advance its position after winning the FA cup and entry into Europe, also progressing into the top 10 in the Premiership, then frankly, these players are not at that level, at best they are Championship level. It's what keeps us glued to 12th place - thin squad, lack of...

I remain convinced that Steve Parish is more than content with 12th place, the interview he gave last season where he mentioned how imperative it is to stay in the Premiership confirmed it to me. The FA cup win was a nice thing to come along, and about time too, and although it may appear to...

This thread brings to mind the film Groundhog Day. I suspect if it were overlaid with the thread of last season, and those prior, it would look almost identical. In the film the loop is finally broken and Bill Murray gets together with Andie MacDowell, awww. Will Steve Parish surprise us and...

I worked in law support for many years. One gets to understand the processes involved. The steps taken thus far are logical - the club seeks legal advice about the UEFA ruling, the lawyers representing the club lay out the process and the possible outcomes, that is, whether the club has a strong...

Yes, this is how it works. Parish didn't like the UEFA finding, consulted with his legal team, which having scrutinised the full UEFA report, have told Parish that there are a number of holes in it which can be picked apart. Let's note that they are specialists in sports law and know what they...

Maybe there is a clause in a player's contract that says just that; I doubt it though.

While all this rumbles on Palace will still be in the Conference cup I presume. That is, taking part in a competition that the club was demoted to by UEFA, rather than the Europa League competition the club was originally meant to enter via winning the FA cup, and which the club is now in legal...

We're doomed! Lose first four games Parish gives Glasner next 3 games to sort it out Glasner says "I quit!" Players go on strike Roy comes back etc etc etc

The decision will coincide with the final brick being laid on the new stand, Parish has it all planned out.

Should Parish choose to litigate, I hear Bird & Bird LLP have a top sports law team, with a list of illustrious clients. At the very least I hope someone asks how Girona FC and Manchester City both end up in the same competition, given City Football Group has a large stake in both clubs.

We won the FA cup. That's great, a first for the club, in the record books for all time. We got into Europe on the back of it, again a first, but all things considered not as important as the cup victory or building on our position in the Premiership. The Europa League would have proved tricky...

Dumping ground for players who find it hard to accept that they are over the hill and no other team wants them. Offers the chance to earn a few more pennies, with the added opportunity to play in Europe. Perfect for Wilfried Zaha at that stage in his career - it's what he wanted, no?

"Roy's Shed"

1861 / 1905. Claret and Blue / Red and Blue. Glaziers / Eagles. It's about time for a change. I propose 2010 and "The Phoenixes". Shirt most likely Red and Yellow.

Glasner has proved he is a manager who knows what he is doing. The board needs to have a good think about how it plans for next season, particularly given that our slow start this season was partly due to leaving things too late with incomings and outgoings and as a consequence not giving OG...

I've just watched the game in full and for me Richards was MOTM, outstanding in the heart of defence time and time again.
