TBF, I'd say that article on the two clubs' chances is about right. It does depend on who we get in in the next few weeks.

Late 70's - superb investment in youth and shrewd low cost signings of experienced/lower league players resulting in promotion from 3rd to First Division, outperforming scores of better financially supported clubs. Dynamic young manager. This was all ripped apart by Chairman Raymond Bloye, who effectively left the club bankrupt. Late 80's - superb investment in youth and shrewd low cost signings of experienced/lower league players, resulting in promotion from Division 2 to Division 1, FA Cup Final, highest ever position in the League, etc, outperforming scores of better financially supported clubs. Dynamic young manager. It was then ripped apart by Ron Noades, who effectively left the club bankrupt by misappropriating the ownership of the stadium, and causing the club to be bought 'sans Selhurst' by two well meaning, but misguided entrepreneurs. Our other promotions: Under Alan Smith - Noades era. Noades never spent anything beyond what the club was bringing in. Under Dave Bassett/Coppell - Same again. Under Dowie - 3rd from bottom when he took over. A team of Arsenal rejects and a Birmingham City transfer makeweight stormed the league and playoffs. All 'big signings' we made were on the back of this numerous promotions to the top flight, and the subsequent cash windfall that this generates. ALL promotions were secured on a shoestring budget compared to what some clubs lay out there. That Jordan's personal wealth dwindled and he took more and more desperate measures to keep the club running is an irrelevance when it comes to your tiresome ethics. The stadium issue is the only thing that prevented further investment from outside sources. Jordan couldn't sell, and he couldn't invest. At what point did Jordan, or any other Palace owner 'buy' success in the manner you imply? As has been stated so often before on here, the only effects on this club that administration has brought have been negative. The two administrations have been nothing but a sad marker for the deconstruction of many honest and commendable achievements by the club, rather than a testament to any fake 'bought success'. I'm glad we've finally cleared that up.

Say what you want about the 1998 and 2010 admins, but between 1986 and 1997, while you were as usual totally shit, crowds plummeted and you managed to get swindled out of your ground and decamp to Kent, CPFC had a great period in their history WITHOUT spending loads on transfers fees, wages, etc. BTW is that correct that Archer paid a whopping £50 for your Club ? - No wonder he did the dirty on you - Probably bitter that he overpaid for your Club by £49.50 !

Sorry do Brighton actually have any history in which anyone reports about. Any person in his right mind who thinks Br**hton are or ever have been a bigger football club than Crystal Palace needs to be locked up in solitary confinement.

To be honest if they stormed this league and had full houses for the next 5 years I may agree.We averaged more than Chelsea and were in a higher division for at least one season but I didn't think of us as bigger than them. |

In truth, I reckon its probably about right for Palace and I'd expect us to be close to Palace in thr table too. Hopefully above, naturally. |

We'll finish above you.
The people writing these articles have no idea how good our signings are, and don't see anything more than a bad final position. Our form under Dougie last year was mid table form, and our squad has got a lot stronger since then. |

Crystal Palace
Finally facing in the right direction after two tumultuous seasons, but progress will be painstaking rather than spectacular. The loss of Neil Danns will be a blow, while question marks remain over the defence. But by and large the squad has remained stable and will mature over the season. Prediction: 18th All seems pretty fair to me.
