 Hardly - the R word seems to be the hip buzzword on these boards. And it’s getting predictable every season. You don't think fans are right to think we are in serious danger of being relegated this season? What makes you think we aren't?

We are in danger of getting relegated every season, along with 10 or 12 other teams. Until an unfeasibly rich person wants to buy our club and spend squillions on it, that will always be the way. Man U have always had a team of sorts because of their marketing, but Chelsea and Man City the two most successful teams recently have bought their sides. There is no secret to being successful, it’s called money and shed loads of it.

| Probably some sort of recovery technique...seems to be a few other people in the room too. And the comment probably relates to the fact we just lost two on the trot...so now it's back to the drawing board and basics etc.

Josh Harris is worth approx $3.5 Billion & David Blitzer $2.5 Billion, so hardly sitting outside Tottenham Court Road Tube Station with a paper cup !!!!!

Do you think clubs like West Ham, Leicester, Everton, Brighton, Watford, Burnley look at the following season during the summer and think, this is a hard season? No, they think how to get to 40 the quickest then kick on and see what happens

It doesn't matter how rich your owners are if they are not in a position to 'engineer' money into the club avoiding FFP. Even Chelski were struggling to do so before Abramovich turned the taps off. I'm not sure Harris & Blitzer have something (such as Etihad or King Power) where they can sponsor shirts/stadia/training facilities to ridiculous levels so we need to expand our revenue streams - hence the focus in the U.S. The problem now with FFP is that the authorities don't believe fines work so have implied they will look at the other punishments they have available i.e. transfer embargos or point deductions. Don't you just know we'd get the s**t end of the stick if we were next to breach the rules... 
 Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five! | |

He could sponsor our various outbreaks of handbags. And I think hair accessories makes a lot of sense.

| If Wilf is injured for the city game! Does it really bother us? Am I the only Palace fan to say he is massively average in the prem? He gets all the praise at palace. Why? What for? What does he do, what has he done? The 2 goals at Brighton in the play offs is the highlight of his career!! We’ve got to sell him, cash in on him. Buy 3 decent players and change the way we play.

He's been poor in the last few games, but started the season well and had a great season last time out. There are numerous games where he's almost single-handedly got us a result - the wonder goal against Huddersfield this season or the comeback against Watford at home last season. Dismissing Wilf's contribution over the last few years is nuts.

Are you implying that we don’t do that or that I’m saying we don’t do that?
