Fully agree with the op. You’ve inspired me to do the same. One less ‘positive’ poster on here until at least the new season. I’ll be at Palace next weekend supporting the team but any support of the team on here is frowned on. Time for a break. Oh and someone suggesting using the foe button doesn’t...

Re: Is Relegation such a bad thing really?
I'm not saying we need to get back 100-150 million. I was replying to someone saying we could make a 'hell of a lot of money" in player sales. I'm saying we will do well to get our money back, let alone make a profit overall on player trading. I am not sure at all that our wage bill will be conside...

I guess we might make a hell of a lot of money on selling the current team but I'd be very surprised. I'd be pleasantly surprised if we were able to get our money back on the players we bought last summer. Will someone pay 15-20 million for Trafford? Amdouni? Ramsey? Tresor? I doubt it.
