Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

[Hrolf The Ganger]

Stopped arses going on fire though.

But would it work for a Madras?

Probably. But not for one of Willo's volcanic lava phals.

Good for him. So are 65% of all Americans

According to a poll that came out yesterday, Trump's approval rating is 38%. Quinnipiac is one of the most respected polls, though I recognize that all polls are dicey. Still, 65% seems a bit outside the statistical margin of error...

Majority Of Voters Oppose GOP Budget Bill, With Just 67% Of Republicans In Support, Quinnipiac University National Poll Finds; Trump Job Approval: 38%, His Handling Of Russia - Ukraine War Lowest Among List Of Issues | Quinnipiac University Poll

"With Medicaid's future as a healthcare safety net for millions suddenly uncertain, voters make it clear they want the 60-year-old program for those in need to be handled with care," said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

Lately the Jets have been diabolical, although they started last season ok before falling off iirc. I think they signed Aron Rodgers as QB didn't they? Also an outspoken right winger.

Edit, looks like they sold him to the Steelers this season

Are you serious? we would object to investment from someone whose politics you don't like?

This is BBS/Citizen Smith/Fanatics student politics .

My dream investor would be The Donald just to see the meltdown on here

Yeah but Johnson's the type that's born with a silver spoon in his mouth and has no concept of anything that doesn't serve to benefit him. Not who you want in charge of Palace. The rival consortium is more palatable.

The good news is he is 78

Genuine question, is the possibility of getting an egomaniac on the board worth it just to play in Europe for next year, Woody woodpecker seems like the type of man that if he gets on the board that will eventually get total control, it was only before when Ratcliffe took over Man Utd, that H&B were trying to sell there shares to make a bid. I am not saying it should or shouldn't happen

 

[Badger11]

Apparently not liked by the fans of his US team mainly because they have performed so poorly over many years.

So I hope he doesn't come to us.

Yes, point taken. I don't know what it is about sport and idiot owners. As long as we don't go full Peter Ridsdale, then hopefully we'll be OK.

Plenty of material for future Ted Lasso series mind

Europe maybe not. Europe AND getting the New Stand built - yes. Without the stand we won’t ultimately make sustainable progress.

Presumably without the threat of relegation hanging over their heads its less compelling for him / the club to pony up for better players

One ego maniac enough thanks

The financial wisdom of a new stand of any design is very much up in the air, unlike the stand

A week ago people were shitting their pants over Textor and just wanted him out of the club.

Now it seems that a likely alternative has emerged that doesn’t meet with universal approval.

Get over it. If Johnson comes in and accepts that his level of control will be the same as Textor then it’s all good in my opinion.

I dunno that could lead to a Glazer like situation where his kids take over and their only interest is in siphoning off profits while piling everything onto the club's debt. Or Southampton where the kids just wanted to sell up ASAP and let the club decline in the process.

 

[Forest Hillbilly]

Has the Blind Trust option been taken ? Or is Textor now compelled to sell , to see CPFC in Europe ?

I don't see Woody fighting to the front of a queue of buyers. Or can Parish still convince UEFA we're all fine without doing anything ?

The thing is, I though Parish said we were alright. But maybe getting some leverage to get Textor out, suits CPFC in the long run

There is no Blind Trust option - deadline was March !

If Palaces stance is that we aren’t in a multi club arrangement then I actually don’t see the need for Textor to sell right now unless behind the scenes UEFA have made this a condition in order to compete in the Europa League.

If people were accusing Parish of not thinking ahead in this matter then parting company with Textor ( which anyways is Textors decision to make ) avoids any multi club issues in the future.

Jeez , worry worry worry !

Did I hear somewhere that Nottingham Forest actually missed the deadline of 31st March and didn't actually get what needed to be done until April 21st?

I don’t know if Parish, said it in public, but my feeling is he has always thought , rightfully or wrongly, we were alright.
The problem being no one knows for sure , even the rules are no help as they have constantly been manipulated , leaving the media and most on here to consider every possible outcome . Textor, selling his shares is another possible way out, but thats all, he has wanted to sell for ages so whether it’s needed or something happening anyway has to be another guess.
