The other thread is still locked so couldnt post on to it.

This was posted on the NSC Brighton Forum, be intresting to hear CPFC2010's views on it as they claim a friend of the owners told them this:

Just spoke to a close friend of one of the Palace owners.

Interesting conversation, key points:

For next few years the club's only ambition is not for results on the pitch but to become financially solvent.

New ground plans will never happen. Totally resigned to making the best of Selhurst (but realising that is a very difficult job).

Keeping transfer fees and wages under tight control.

Trying to attract a larger fanbase. Hugely disappointed by last season's attendances. Worried that Crawley, Brighton and Charlton are a more attractive proposition for the next generation of fans, plus the general trend of new kids supporting Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs etc.

Know that they are now a long way behind the likes of Brighton in terms of their ability to attract players due to wage structure, ground, area and manager!! (In their words, Gus is gold dust on this front)

And finally, the board have been disappointed with the signing of Murray as he has not settled well with his team mates and Doogie is struggling to manage that. But will stick with Doogie as he is good at bringing young players through which is the cheap and preferred option.

Ipswich, Leeds and a few others wanted Ward. We got him. Was it the ridiculously high wage? No, it was Dougie.

Crawley? You having a laugh? Brighton stealing fans? Charlton stealing fans? What?

Topped off with a dig at Murray.

Disappointed you would read a thread on some other site, then come running on here crying about what was said. Some of you need your hands held. *sniff*

Results on the pitch are the only thing that will make the club financially solvent.

...except that "attract a larger fanbase" seems completely unrealistic if "the club's only ambition is not for results on the pitch but to become financially solvent" and "Know that they are now a long way behind the likes of Brighton in terms of their ability to attract players due to wage structure, ground, area and manager". How will they attract a larger fanbase if results (and the squad) don't improve? Unless the selling point is shifted to the Crystals rather than the football...


Doubt there's much truth in this though.

Is that's the way it has to be, I wouldn't argue with it.

Always assuming it's true of course - the bollocks about the shirtlifters stealing fans makes it seem very unlikely. No one becomes a Weed, given a choice.

The underlying message is the exactly the same as 2010 have been saying, but gilded with some Brighton bullsh*t and spin. I think that on the fan issue the board are more worried about the young fans and the EPL rather than Clowns, Weed and Crawley.

No dig intended but take with a pinch of salt people posting behind internet names & then not naming names.

At least when CPFC2010 & to a certain extent James, SW16 girl post we all know who they are.

Trying to attract a larger fanbase. Hugely disappointed by last season's attendances. Worried that Crawley, Brighton and Charlton are a more attractive proposition for the next generation of fans, plus the general trend of new kids supporting Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs etc.

Know that they are now a long way behind the likes of Brighton in terms of their ability to attract players due to wage structure, ground, area and manager!! (In their words, Gus is gold dust on this front)

And finally, the board have been disappointed with the signing of Murray as he has not settled well with his team mates and Doogie is struggling to manage that. But will stick with Doogie as he is good at bringing young players through which is the cheap and preferred option.

Really? I'm not particularly happy with how this pre-season has gone, but even I can see that is total BS.

I'm ashamed to have it even posted in our GPD area.

Just said it would be interesting to see what their views on it were considering it was claimed the information has come from them albeit passed on via a 3rd party.

That third party is in the know the same way you are - he knows nothing.

Ridiculous that you think our owners have to answer to obvious trolls.
