[cotopaxi]

Given what he's been thru in the last 15 yrs...lost £ 70 mil, had cancer and been mugged and gun point ( mind u who hasn't) having had in the back of my cab on several occasions...can't speak highly enough of him, the talk show with and Jim White each morning has got me thru many a busy day...

For future reference they're vol-au-vents, but you're probably not wrong about where he'll be sitting etc. The questions is, will he be rooting for Palace or Fulham?

Listening to him on talksport over the years, that’s one thing that’s not in doubt whatever stand he’s in, he is still very much a palace fan

So you want to buy something and it will cost a fair bit. Then you realise that if you wait a few months it will come down in price, so you wait.

Haven't we all done that? That is all that Parish did. Jordan can complain as much as he likes but he bankrupted the club and failed to find his own new investors. He then complains when someone new comes along and say I don't want you involved and I will pick the time when I buy the club that no one else wants to buy.

Sorry SJ, no sympathy.

This will almost certainly be the reason.

And whilst fair in business, wouldn't have been nice for SJ when his business/club was crumbling and wanted some help from some fellow Palace fans.

You can add the buying of the ground freehold too, not even close to the truth.

Somewhere in an old stockroom at Selhurst are several boxes of "Club and Ground reunited" T-shirts. I bet, just for the novelty value, they'd be worth a couple of quid. 😀

Definitely flying in the wind with that one.

Steve Parish - a “wolf in sheep’s clothing “ perhaps ?

Just a better businessman. Parish built up a solid business over a period of time. Jordan was a spiv who got lucky in mobile phones.

The administration process was finished we were 24hrs from liquidation, the administrator did a good job in my opinion. There were lots of small creditors who hadn't been paid including apprentice landladies and St John's Ambulance.

How long does it take an apprentice landlady to qualify ?

With the greatest of respect, investing £30K (With a business partner), growing the business to nigh on 170 stores and selling for some £70 Mill was not just attributed to 'Luck'.

They hadn't been paid and we're on administrators list of creditors. I doubt any of them were doing it for anything but to supplement income and so not really that funny.

Knew Simon well when i moved to Farnley Rd ,when i was 11.We would meet up after school and play football in the car park(Sainsbury's) at the back of his house,for about 5 yrs.There was on average about a good dozen of us every night.We also played tennis in Lady Edridge school too.Even at a young age he said he would one day own Palace.

 

[ASCPFC]

I don't think anyone purposely loses all their money unless they're Brewster. I admire someone who spunked all of their money on Palace. Maybe can one of the Americans do it? My missus wouldn't let me.

 

[ASCPFC]

However, that Alex Best stuff is best forgotten.

I found the game I was referring to:

Classic re-run ends in draw

The latest Geoff Thomas Foundation match between Crystal Palace and Liverpool ended in a 1-1 draw.

Yep fair enough sorry I couldn’t resist.
