It's totally different, 3 points for a win changed everything. In those days you couldn't draw your way to relegation.

We won't get relegated, the gap is already too important for that, I am surprised that anyone even considers it a possibility. We just need 4 wins and a couple of draws from 18 games, those we'll get with ease because there is some right old crap down at the bottom. Sunderland and Villa re already gone, Newcastle,Bournemouth,Swansea and Norwich will provide the other relegatee.

Very few DMs actually are, it depends on the ref, take Barry on Sunday, ref A would have sent him off in the first 10 minutes, ref B would have given him at least 2 yellows and ref C just wagged his finger at him...a lot.

What money? If we've paid a loan fee we won't get it back that's for sure.

Probably because it's made up agent rowlocks.

But as they're under 60 million for the last period of annual accounts they can hike it as much as they like before the next set, in for a penny in for a pound as they say. In fact when you're under the limit it's as best to do it that way.

Well firstly we need to either sign or get rid of one of the two domestic loans that we already have and that may not be so easy, we need Stek but doubt if we'll sign him on a permanent deal and Caulker...well he's Caulker ain't he. If Arsenal are selling or releasing Debuchy what cover would that leave them at RB other than Chambers, I don't know all the minor details of their squad.

Swiss Ramble had it at about (and that's a total figure) 46 million for the year ending 2014. Since then they've signed a couple but I doubt it's much over 60 million in total so that the player element would be below the 60 million threshold where only restricted increase (against TV revenues anyway) can be applied. Don't forget any player trading profit can be re-invested as can increased commercial revenue.. This is one of the strange things about FFP, as long as your player salarial mass is less than 60 million (for the current season, there'll be another base hike for next season) you can increase it by as much as you like. Investors can fund losses of up to 105 million over 3 seasons provided that they increase equity. If they're in FFP grey areas they just need to sell Bolasie, which they'll probably do anyway.

Easily short circuited, doubt if their salarial mass is very high anyway. Far too much is made of FFP, clubs who want to get round it seem to do it with ease.

Highly likely, Palace have got a new investor haven't they?

Well as I'll probably not be inviting him round for tea in the forseeable future I'll go for his value to the team rather than whether he's a nice bloke or not.

No I guessed that but the point still stands, we do not pay enough to attract a top, top manager and keep anyone half decent. Then again few clubs actually do. Pochettino was one of the lowest paid managers in the PL during his time here so he ferked off for a bit more money.

Like we could afford Benitez. Mourinho is also available I think, it's the same difference give or take a few quid.

I thought he made them look better actually, might even have suggested signing him in a similar HCDAJFU version summer 2014 thread actually, probably got slagged off for it as well.

Had he not already been sent off this season? If so you get an extra match.

Pushing 30, first season in a "top flight", not a Saints sort of player really. Trouble with Ligue 1 is that on occasions the standard is so low that it's difficult to get an idea of a player's real ability. You only have to look at the Ayews and all those others at Swansea and Villa to know that. Might well be capable of giving us a couple of good seasons but might well not. Pass on him unless the price is ridiculously low I think.

Anyway people will probably wait until the last minute. We sold out for the C1C cup game and were dire, some aren't gluttons for punishment just yet, probably just turn up on Saturday though.

We did sign Jonno Quick though, how's he getting on , haven't seen him in the first team for ages, perhaps we're still improving him along with Danny NGuessan though. You can find electric pace on any street corner, the talent that goes with it is a rarer thing.

KL doesn't want to spend any more of her money, we know that Krueger, told us so. Most seem to think that Cortese spent money that he shouldn't have and now we don't.

But then Cortese spent money that Liebherr doesn't seem to be willing to spend, we were investing for the future.. Most seem to think that's a good thing so you can't have it both ways. Those managers bought or developped the players which later brought in stacks of cash. That's the way the club works. If Koeman now wants more money to spend then he needs to sell players to get it.

It makes no difference at all if he didn't want to sign for us though does it.

Well the "Twitter thing" is probably just made up bollorks which may or may not have ever existed. As you say he's had plenty of money but the results aren't as good as might be expected.

It's what happens when you buy more players than you sell for the same amount of money.

No we haven't, Ralphie said so. The club are not stockpiling money you know. We sold players, we bought players, we're spending more on salaries, agents fees and loan fees than ever before. Do not let your fag packet maths fool you, it's all gone. That the quality of the players bought is less than that of the players sold means squat, we still spent the same amount on them.

High effective motivational speech then, that's obvious. I really don't know what he's still doing at the club, must be good at something I suppose, just can't put my finger on it though.
