Palace potentially denied entry to Europa League?

Hrolf The Ganger said:
OK, but I'm not sure what that means.

How is Donald Trump against family and community?

What is community in this content? Do you have a community? I certainly don't know what mine is.

Are you talking about fan base? That is the only 'community' the club should be interested in.

I'm talking about the club branding, the whole South London and Proud is aggressively 'local', it's emblazoned everywhere. The irony of this is not lost on me, it's a multi million pound organisation pushing for a global reach and yet revelling in it's 'Croydon'ness. The weird thing is, it seems to be slowly working.
The whole 'community' discussion is way to complex to cover in this thread. But to summarise, personally I do feel an affiliation and sense of community around Palace, and I think this is something shared by many. It's not to the exclusion of other groups.
Is community and fan base the same thing? No, but for years one of our key selling points has been atmosphere and support. It's a family club, with great atmosphere, come and visit Selhurst.
Is Trump against family and community, outwardly, probably not, though behind closed doors maybe. I'm just allowing my unconscious bias get in the way here.
I'm not expecting you to agree with all of the above!

Why are you bringing your political opinion into it as though its fact? I personally think Trump has done more for the US economy than Biden and Obama combined but do I care about American politics? No. Is it in any way relevant who Johnson is friends with? No

What has Trump got remotely to do with Palace values. He probably has never heard of us.

With respect, this reads as backtracking nonsense.

In short. Donald Trump's association with our new co owner has no bearing on the club what ever, unless the usual TDS brigade want to make it so.

Affiliation with the club does not require a set of rules or a political stance. It is a personal thing.

You're talking tripe. Presumably because you hate Trump and are trying to find some way of wangling that hatred into a discussion about Palace's most recent investor.

Unlike you to be abusive and self-opinionated

And what's that got to do with who owns us ? Newcastle still market themselves with howay the lads and are proud working class northerners, you could use examples of 90% of clubs in the football league, I doubt many owners identify with the locals.

He couldn't understand why Palace weren't prepared to send him our best at cut prices so he could prop up Lyon.

It's the major problem of multi cub ownership despite all the BS from the owners it boils down to a pyramid structure. Lyon are at the top so the rest of the clubs were there to feed them.

When Parish writes his biography I expect there will be plenty of stories about Textor trying to nab our best. I have always said that the transfer of O’Brien was just to throw Textor a bone.

Is that your little effort at winding up? Bless. You spout your little opinion about Trump, get very touchy when no one agrees with you then think you are spinning it around.
Tell you what, you sit in front of your pc with steam coming out of your ears because our new investor is (allegedly) friendly with Trump and I'll go on with life not caring. How's that sound?
