Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 http://www.cpfc.org/forums/showthread.php?t=217026 I am not going to keep quiet about this anymore.............. People have tried to sweep this under the carpet on the Jordace Holder-Spooner thread, to many "ITKs" on the CP forum!
Saint_clark Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Rubbish. Carry on reading and you'll see them banging on about how Lallana and Chamberlain are useless on the wing - "two CMs as wingers is not the way forward". Edit; oops, didn't mean to close the thread. Should be good for a laugh.
doddisalegend Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

OldNick Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Whilst i feel there is a squeeze on as we failed to really strengthen in the windows, i can't see us doing as the CP site says it we have done. NC is very sure about developing the young players
PaulSaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 (edited) I myself am worried, last match I washed my hands in the Northam and the new blue hand towels definitely felt cheaper than the old whte ones! Further proof that we are going to the wall very soon? Edited 30 March, 2011 by PaulSaint
Gemmel Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 I don’t think our club being in “serious” trouble is a “good laugh”? I don't think spending 6 million on the new academy, is our club being in "Serious" trouble"
trousers Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 I don't think spending 6 million on the new academy, is our club being in "Serious" trouble" They haven't spent £6m yet....they've just got planning permission to do so..... Make of that what you will....
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Author Posted 30 March, 2011 I don't think spending 6 million on the new academy, is our club being in "Serious" trouble" good point!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Author Posted 30 March, 2011 They haven't spent £6m yet....they've just got planning permission to do so..... Make of that what you will.... ummm good point also plot thickens
Saint_clark Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 They haven't spent £6m yet....they've just got planning permission to do so..... Make of that what you will.... Obviously just trying to make it a more appealing sale.
Gemmel Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 They haven't spent £6m yet....they've just got planning permission to do so..... Make of that what you will.... Trousers, theres nothing doing here. No conspiracy theories or any other ******. My guess is that someone has been released, approached another club and given the reason for his release as the club being in financial difficulty..... Easier than saying i wasnt good enough or had a rubbsih attidtude. Thread should be locked. If we all posted rumours from other sites with such alarming headlines, we wouldnt have to wait for the server to fall over, the legal bods would shut us down much quicker. Pointless and attention seeking
doddisalegend Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Well I think the management of the club has F ucked up. We should keep the youth team and sell the expensive 1st teamers. Our youth players are great they just need.......................a Dutch coaching duo ...........to teach them play total football and we will be fine.
Colinjb Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Lets face it, if you are going to save money releasing academy players is not the answer. Get rid of one key first teamer and you will save more them them all put together in terms of wages. It's what the Skates have done and it has very prudently allowed them to bring in the youngsters to cover for the slight weaknesses in their first eleven in times of financial strain.... ....Oh.
trousers Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Obviously just trying to make it a more appealing sale. ;-)
influx Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Has anyone thought that just maybe the Academy are given a seperate budget altogether, so they have to keep within that budget, just like the 1st team has too. Thats what i think anyway, maybe im mad!
trousers Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Trousers, theres nothing doing here. No conspiracy theories or any other ******. Spoil sport....
sfc1971 Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Lalanna just signed a nice new 4yr contract, club turns down reported 10m offer for OC, Stephens signs a almost double your wages contract from Oldham, Ave 21k gates, No rent/Morgage for SMS and the Liebherr family all sat happily with Cortese at our last home game...... Mmmm yes I would suggest we are fighting for our financial lives and should sell them back Jose Fonte ASAP. Fking Idiots in the Champship are running scared LOL.
dubai_phil Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 It's a bit damned early for Pantomime season. Oh yes there is...... or is it He's behind you..... The Pantomime Villain Widow Twonky The Chick all dressed up trying to play the hero Hmmmm
miserableoldgit Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Is no-one able to post the Jack Stephens thread on there to see how that fits in??

Good point. In fact Antony Pulis is worth more than the whole academy put together...on paper at least.
thegaffer Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 you are absolutely spot on!Has anyone thought that just maybe the Academy are given a seperate budget altogether, so they have to keep within that budget, just like the 1st team has too. Thats what i think anyway, maybe im mad!
Alanh Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Classic example of the type of thread that gets started when there is a long break between matches. Hopefully with 2 games a week for the rest of this month we'll be able to speak about the football a bit more.
farawaysaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Wait, surely it would be fairly simple to find out if this was true instead of rampant speculation?
Window Cleaner Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Lol. Let's ignore the money stuff for a second, that's just jealous people trying to create problems. What's with the 'academy not as strong as it used to be' stuff? What they mean is, we produced Walcott and Bale a couple of seasons ago and haven't since. Well, Lallana and Chamberlain are up there, and the youth teams are doing as well as ever, with many great prospects. People always make these comments so readily, yet how many Palace fans have closely watched our academy sides ffs?! Idiots. Releasing players we don't think will make it just means more opportunity for those we do have high hopes for and younger players. When it comes to the academy, this club knows what it's doing more than most clubs out there. For every player who makes the first team (on a regular basis) from the academy we release 5 or 6 to Salisbury,Eastbourne,Bournemouth and beyond.We even end up trying to buy some of them back at a later date.
Wycombe Saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Easy way to find out i suppose. The next academy game is on the 2nd April at home to ipswich! If they turn up on the bus and noone is there to play them then i guess the rumour could be true!
dronskisaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Well done...fishing to see how many would take this carp seriously and you hooked a few. The playtime bell has now rung so off you go!
Viking Warrior Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Glasgow saint stop drinking leader whisky and find a decent single malt. Clearly its turned your brain into mush
Window Cleaner Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Apparently Schneiderlin can't get in our team due to Chamberlain. Why do football fans state things so surely when clearly they haven't bothered to look into it for even 3 seconds? They probably meant Puncheon.Which would be true.
farawaysaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 They probably meant Puncheon.Which would be true. And Svennson can't get a game because of Fonte... Doesn't matter who you meant it still shows poor research
Danish Saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Also heard Lallana is keeping Fernandes out of the starting XI....

Secret Site Agent Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 They haven't spent £6m yet....they've just got planning permission to do so..... Make of that what you will.... I make of it that you do not commit to full detailed structural design unless you have planning permission. And I work on jobs where the planning permisision and the design we completed over a year ago. And please, we have seen the architectual images, but these you mostly see on the hoarding of the development when it is being built. However, their source is strong, being a National TV Programme report, I mean a local TV report, Excuse me I meant to say in a National Newspaper, Sorry that came out wrong, a Local Newpaper. Oh, um, yes, someone knows someone, (Un-named). The greatest source of all. Well, my friend, who doesn't exist, told me that he knows a non-existant member of the Saints Acadamy who catagorically states that Nick Illingsworth Season ticket is in the post, with the cheque, and that Aliens did land at Roswell, and that Crystal Palance is to merge with West Ham and Spurs, for financial reasons and will either be called Crystal Hot Ham, or Tottenham West Palace. It was also reported in the well know fictional paper, the Chip Wrapper news, (between the advert for earning £350.00 a day with Google as advertised on BBC, and the Advert for Getting Ripped in a Month) and on the TV Sports show hosted by Ian Fuller and Jeremy Bullocks, titled Fuller ********.
HighcliffeSaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 This is the time of year that lots of academies/c.o.e release players or sign them up.
scotty Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Blue towels did you say? We're f**ked! I heard the towels are secondhand ones from the skates cos thats all we could afford. We're in trouble, no doubt in my mind.
torsaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 So glad I have Glasgow Saint and Alpine Saint on ignore.

sambosa75 Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 That's how academies work. Not everyone with promise at 12 or 13 will make it. We seem to have got it right with most we've released (ie. not sold but released before first team). Who did we try to sign back? I can only think of Howard, and that's a hell of a long time later. I don't think it counts if when released we're thinking 'he's not good enough for the top flight' and years later we're in league 1 thinking 'he could do a job for us'. Even in the sense of Howard, we let him go when we were comfortable a Premier League outfit. If we were still in the Premier League he wouldnt even be on the radar so I dont think we can say we missed out on him or made a mistake. You cant just keep players in the squad from the academy just in case we get relegated twice in 5 years as they might come in handy if that happens!
Glasgow_Saint Posted 30 March, 2011 Author Posted 30 March, 2011 I just report what I find; I won’t be silenced on this anymore! I tell it how it is – I’m like Louis Theroux Don’t shoot the messenger – I am just here to help.
eurosaint Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 So glad I have Glasgow Saint and Alpine Saint on ignore. Big mistake Dave, they are the Mike and Bernie Winters of the forum - hilariously unfunny but they induce some sharp comments in response which can often be amusing ! All IMHO of course

hypochondriac Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 If we were in reduced financial circumstances then the academy would be the last thing we would cut. Sell chamberlain and the academy has paid for itself for years. It is rubbish.

Kevin Phillips and Dennis Wise?
FloridaMarlin Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 These rumours have been floating around for some time. The prime sources of this whispering campaign (for that's what it is) is somebody who was previously chairman of a northern club who were recently relegated from the Premier League amid stories of them approaching the financial brink, before he parted company with them and was then even more recently linked to a consortium who were said to be interested in buying a Championship club not a million miles a way. You can only wonder at his motives or reasoning as to why he would be spreading the story around the football world.
The9 Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Don't worry, I bored the Palace fans to death with some common sense. Next rumour anyone? You sound a lot more intelligent on there than you do on here, I wonder why ?
Secret Site Agent Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Don't worry, I bored the Palace fans to death with some common sense. Next rumour anyone? Well done, Ade, for putting them right. I think you came across as a decent voice of reason. It's nice to see that some of them think it's ******, also interesting to see someone else call us 'Scummers' and finally that they have their own versions of some on here, (blinded by the truth, only see their version of history, ignore all posts that prove them in error, attack, attack and attack again).
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 30 March, 2011 Posted 30 March, 2011 Why would a club in big trouble be trying to spend £125k on a 17 year old apprentice from Plymouth??? Or maybe we've had to get rid of all of our apprentices to sign him? Whatever, sack the board etc etc
