Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

Yep this is bordering on incompetence now..!!

Whatever deal we do now - we’ll be paying a premium for..!!

I said right at the top - we’ve won the FA Cup and qualified for Europe - let’s build on the momentum and do our business early..!!

No - normal modus operandi ensues - we procrastinate and procrastinate - now we’re in a real mess again and a race against time again..!!

Honestly you couldn’t make it up - same season after season, window after window - when is SP ever going to learn..!!

Before anyone says the whole Europa / Conference thing was a sideshow and a nonsense - we were never winning that argument..!!

Well said old chap

Thank you Mr Hindsight. Do you know what the content of the emails were and did you know that different advice was provided to privileged members of the ECA whom we are not members of. Do you know whether we were told by UEFA that we were considered to be a team in multi club ownership and would therefore be required to comply with their new date before entering any competition with a European prize?

I’m guessing you don’t know the answers to these questions and Parish’s legal team were fuming because CAS refused access to or to reveal documents and emails that could have benefited our case.

I cannot believe that as a Palace fan you think we should have just gone, “oh yeah, your right let’s just give up our place in the Europa League” as you suggest above.

I fully support Parish in challenging this to the fullest extent but this does not mean that I excuse him from not getting players through the door. They are two entirely different things and the vital players we require (a forward and a CH) would be required regardless of which tournament we were likely to be in.

I also don’t know how you associate the loss of Freedman and a replacement (if that is actually the plan), with our appeal to CAS. Do you not think this was capable of being dealt with at the same time?

I get the emotion of appealing the decision - but we were never winning the argument - UEFA is corrupt everyone knows it - the moment Lyon got their relegation overturned we were cooked..!!

Yes it’s unjust and unfair - yes it’s against the spirit of competition - everyone can see we’ve been “shafted” - but they don’t care..!!

They were never going to allow for the decision to be overturned and look culpable - it’s that simple..!!

But we are in Europe for the first time and that should have been/be our focus..!!

You are absolutely right the two things are entirely different issues and the whole Europe thing should not have stopped/stop us in getting our Business done..!!

It’s just so Palace - elation of winning 2 major trophies - immediately cut short by inept strategy and transfer dealings..!!

As I said before it’s like bloody “Groundhog Day” and this season of all seasons it should not be that way..!!

That is because people like yourself don't like the truth you prefer to keep living in your fantasy land.

The other poster was spreading misinformation and even posted up links to try argue those links data even showed I was correct when I stated "around 20m" if you win which is true.

Not my fault people here are so sensitive and rose tinted specs.

If some proves me wrong one a subject I will own up to it but they haven't.

Anyway back to the subject this thread is suppose to be about.

No, you were wrong, and abusive, and offensive, like many times, that is why you got a yellow card
