Clever Fox

Let's just hope we can keep him here as he seems certain to have a good career ahead of him.

Yes I think you're tight. Lets hope Ruud can get him playing to his potential becuase he always looks like there's a real player in there. Confidence is such a big thing in Football.

Daka to score today, He's been close the last few games and played well when he's come on.

No surprise there. I just hope hope Mads has come back totally fit and ready. Jakub can be proud of his efforts also during Mads absence.

A commendable move by Palace, Though what I'd really like us to do is insist that all juniors continue with some form of studies. Whether that be Aprenticeship training or further Education like a Third level Course or Degree. This would prepare them for a career after Football regardless of how their career progresses. The old saying is as true as ever. Knowledge is no load to carry. Especially at a young age.

I'm glad we're not playing Everyone. It's hard enough against 11.

Every game is on the Day. Today is all about the committment from the players. Reach the same level as last week gives us a real chance. If not, it could be a long afternoon and back to the drawing board.

Can we sub loan him out to the mls. ? This would get his costs off the books and free up a space in the squad.

When I seen the name I thought it was a signing for the Womens team. He could be another Bilal hopefully.

He's improving with every game, Now he just needs to learn how to conserve energy. Which will make him even more explosive at key moments in games.

Let's just hope that he does well and they want to keep him.

I'm guessing the inquiry report is a big positive for the Family in their Claim against the Manufacturers. Not that it's much consolation for the Family.

So then it's just bluster or bark without bite. I understand Fans frustrations I really do. But I doubt anyone believes the bad decisions were made with the intension to hurt the Club. At least we haven't spent 81 million on a player like Utd in the Summer they now want to dump. And that was Ratcliffes decision, Supposedly the Clubs saviour. The one thing I've learned in Football is it's evolutionary. Good times and bad times.

This is it. Ayew I think was brought in as backup for Fatawu but is showing more that the other options. Falling over and breaking up play stops the opposition getting into their rhythm. And lets face it the alternatives havent challenged him enough to take his place currently. I was against Edouard because I'd seen him play for Celtic and he's very lazy. Skipp was an awful choice by Cooper who offers very little in skillset. And the price was a disgrace at 25 mil. At least Facundo has real Skill, He just doesn't understand the game yet.But I'd be confident Ruud will get throught to him farly soon and we'll see the best of him again. If we don't bring in someone else before the window closes I think it's going to be tough to survive unless the injured players come back rareing to go. Still a lot to play for though.

Good luck with that.

They very quickly will if someone crosses the line. The UTD Fans have been protesting for years. Where has it got them. Nowehere. Fans have no legal standing in any Football Club to my knowledge. Other than being Fans of the Football team. As I've said in another post our Fans past up on that chance when Lineker and Heskey saved the Club.

You are deluded. No Court would support that view.

I never said she was president. I said she was CEO. While she's highly respected in industry, She was saddled with a job without the Football backround. The only deop in value is on the Player recruitment , Something he has little or nothing to do with. I doubt anyone is taking it for granted but the Family have had other major issues to contend with. Maybe Football is just not top of their agenda right now.

By who, He and kp owns the Club. The only one that can hold him accountable are the Shareholders.

Whelan was never involved with the day to day running of the Football Club. She's CEO of the whole kp operations and still spends several days week in Thailand. That's where you get the answers Companies house. However, having 55% of the Shares only means that he's majority shareholder. It does not infer sole ownership. Unless it's by agreement with the other Board Members. For instance his Mum could say you look after my shareholding asshe takes a back seat. I reality , He's still answerable to the Board. Which can be troublesome but not always. As I've said already I think sole Ownership is what he's working towards but maybe he's not ready or does'nt have the capitol to do so presently to buy up the the shares. Or he does'nt want to cause unrest given that they are the same people he has to work with running KP. Only time will tell.

I totally agree, But again weare not privy to anything, He could be on a 5 year Contract and a change will happen then. We just don't know. The situation is recoverable but we have to be proactive in getting players out first otherwise we have to work down their Contracts. Which is not ideal when we need new faces. You can't blame the players for taking what they can get. The problem is assessing their worth to the Club and setting Caps. If they don't like it let them go. In my experience in life and I've been around a long time. When you attack authority you only get their back up. Wouldn't it be better for Fans to maybe write to him at the Club and express their concern in the direction the Club is going. That way he might just meet them halfway or explain the difficulties. Or put out a statement to ease the fears of many. Like he done about the Training ground development and the Stadium expansion.

This is exactly the point I was making albeit not as elequently as you. I'm a bit more blunt speaking. I was just pointing out the extremes of what could happen. I don't believe any of it will. The Fans had their chance when we nearly went bust and Lineker and Heskey saved us. While the Fans, me included sat ideally bye with our hands protecting our money. Now they have the audacity to tell the Owners who have only ever tried to do right by the Club. How to run the Club. The good times will come again, I'm sure of it.

I thought Rogers had recommended him to the Club when he agreed to sign. Either way what a disaster of a signing.

Well that just proves what we know about Rogers recruitment knowledge. I don't think we can even blame Rudkin on Ward.

He's not a mircle worker, He can only play those available to him and that's something Fans forget. With the injured key players he can only movethem aroud or havea go at them as he did before sunday to get a reaction. Thankfully it worked. Fans should'nt be so quick to blame him when he has little choice. Now it's looking like he's getting no more new players with only2 days to go. You are right though the effort put in on Sunday was way above most games which made the difference. Tougher games with come along soon but that's the effort needed as a minimum.
