Quite an achievement to get so much wrong in one post.

They are coming back down but would expect to recoup a lot of their transfer expenditure if they move on Delap,Hutchison and Greaves.

The £38.9m figure you quote is misleading. Per Note 7 of the accounts it includes £15.6m of bonus costs payable on the club's promotion to the Premier League. Deduct that from the £38.9m and you get a number not hugely different from our wage bill.

Obviously he's a decent, principled guy who, unlike some, shows respect to supporters who don't share his views. I've felt for years now that the owners will leave as a result of some kind of pressure or events within India and with the best will in the world I don't think Glen's campaign will work to achieve it.

No - simply stating the facts. I've no idea why some posters are so determined to take the most pessimistic view of absolutely everything. As I recall this time last year some posters thought there was no chance of Tygon staying - but he did.

He hasn't gone yet.

Whilst I agree with the last line of your post it shouldn't be overlooked that 2 of those promotions occurred under the previous ownership and currently they have Burnley one division lower than when they acquired the club.

I wasn't there but the thing I will always remember is that it was only a few seconds after Liverpool scored their winning goal that the news came through that Man United had only drawn and so we were champions.

That is correct. I suspect that if we had won our last three games, rather than losing them, this "story" would never have seen the light of day.

It is several months now since Wharton played 90 minutes in the Premier League and I did hear a radio commentator say that he was blowing very hard when he came off in his last game against Ipswich so perhaps Palace have had a quiet word with Tutchel to say that it might be best for him to stay with them to work on his fitness.

At present it appears that he's a graduate of the Tony Hibbert school of goalscorers.

I get the impression with Cantwell that when he retires in his mid 30s and is asked why he didn't go on to achieve what his first season or two at Norwich suggested he might he will blame the players around him rather than look at himself.

Way over the top - we don't need a win "desperately" - there will still be a significant proportion of the season to go. For some reason, only known to yourself, you are trying to create a sense of crisis and panic around the club.

Buckley's out with concussion.

On that basis it looks like his tactical approach is based on the players at his disposal - which is what you want in a manager . We don't want what's happened at Manchester United where the new manager insists on playing one particular way even though it doesn't suit the squad he has inherited.

Good to see O'Riordan score yesterday and he had the Man Of The Match award on the whoscored.com website. Hopefully a sign that after a poor first year with us he's turning the corner.

We are a business, not a charity. No business is going to waive the right to a large financial settlement for nothing in return. If the boot was on the other foot and JDT had been fired you can bet your bottom dollar that he wanted every last penny that he was entitled to under the contract.

Because the contract that both parties had signed provided that he couldn't do that without a financial settlement. You obviously know nothing about business; nobody in the commercial world allows parties with whom they have contracted to just disregard contractual terms.

Yes I know what you mean, but what I was really referring to was that it appeared from the outside - I might be wrong - that JDT wanted the requirement that the club be reimbursed for the outstanding term of his contract,or part of it, be waived. I don't think there was any way the club could agree to that.

Drivel. Who have I slagged off ?

He was a sacrificial lamb to deflect criticism at others at the club. Why do you think he was fired ? It certainly wasn't based on the results he was getting from that group of players.

From memory I think Leicester were still outside the bottom 3 when foolishly they sacked Steve Cooper - seemingly to appease some loud mouths in their fanbase ; underlines that the views of supporters should be ignored when taking decisions regarding the playing side of a club.

Why do you think holding a party that has contracted with the club to the terms of the contract is a cause for criticism ? No kind of business could hope to operate successfully if they allow people to walk all over them.

It's worth pointing out that had they still been at the club Adam Wharton and Ashley Phillips would both have been eligible to play for the U21s this season. Along with those two we also have Michalski, Tygon and Higgins playing for England in various age groups, plus also Finneran who has moved away- so overall the level of talent below 21 that has come through I would think to be probably better than any other club not in the Premier League.

Why does it matter how it looks ? What matters is the result.
