Just thinking. If the worst case happens to us (no promotion, Board run out of money etc) and we go bust along with Palarse. Millwall will be the sole Sarf London football League representatives. Nice!

CBRE appointed to sell Crystal Palace’s Selhurst Park
16:23 | 26.02.10
By Jennifer Rigby
The joint administrators for Selhurst Park stadium, home of Crystal Palace football club, have instructed CB Richard Ellis as marketing agents.
Peter Spratt, Bruce Cartwright and Laurie Manson of PricewaterhouseCoopers were appointed joint administrators to the freehold company of Selhurst Park on 12 February.
Manson said: “Our role is to secure the best outcome for this football ground and, over the coming weeks, we will be working closely with CBRE on the marketing strategy to ensure all the possible solutions have been considered.
“We will, of course, continue to liaise with the club’s administrators in the hope that a buyer for both assets can be found at the same time, and remain sensitive to the concerns of supporters and the local community. However, as we have stressed already, this should be seen as just one option open to us.
“We fully intend to market the asset widely to give every possible buyer, and all the existing stakeholders, such as the Crystal Palace supporters and the CPFC Ambassadors Club, the chance to get involved in the future of Selhurst Park."
Barry Gilbertson, PwC’s specialist property partner, said: “Selling the ground of any football club, but particularly one where both the club and company owning the ground are in administration, is particularly challenging. Having carried out a robust review of appropriate agents to advise us and to sell the asset, we are delighted to appoint CBRE. Their depth of specialist knowledge was evident in their pitch and the way they apply that experience and expertise will make a huge difference to the amount of recovery for the creditors.”
'...sensitive to the concerns of.....the local community'
now if you lived next to a football ground and there was chance that it would be turned into homes, never again having the inconvenience of 10k football fans bringing congestion 25 times a year and potentially raising the value of your own property, what would you be concerned about...

it wouldn't be the first football ground in london to be turned into homes...highbury, plough lane..are there homes on the site of the den ?...the old woolwich arsenal team's ground...any others ?
When they come to us looking for a ground share, do we tell them:
a) Not in a million years, try Plough Lane.(''Oh, it's already been built over, you say? That's a shame...'')
or
b) Yes, but the rent is exorbitant and don't expect hot running water in the showers in the 'home' dressing room (which happened on at least a couple of occasions when we were playing at Selhurst) ..
The most appropriate and moral resolution for the ground issue would be for the administrators to sell it to build houses on, as that would generate the best return for the owners of the freehold. Crystal Palace should approach Uncle Ron to find some space in a corner of one of his golf courses for them to play on.
Croydon Council have already said they will block any move to take the ground away from the team. They've also categorically said they wont be allowing any development that has nothing to do with football.
Nothing a little backhander couldn't sort out {winkey thing}
[quote][cite]Posted By: sillav nitram[/cite]heard on ssn that their are 36 parties interested in, or considering palarse as a possible takeover. if that's true what wtf wrong with us????[/quote]
charlton aren't in administration, palace are, so there will be a lot of expectation of picking up something for very little and making a few bob...since the only asset seems to be the franchise, i'd be very worried if i was a palace fan...

We're probably asking too much money...in administration we'd presumably be cheaper.

And part of the assets is a top 5 academy in this country. That has got improving players in all the younger age-groups as well.
The academy is the lasting legacy of Simon Jordan. And is guaranteed by not only the current Administrator, but the Trust who in combo with Brenda, turned down ridiculous offers from Chelsea and Fulham for the younger kids.

We have debt, clubs in Administration are far more attractive as the debt stays with the original owners and settlement of the debt has to be resolved before the "club" can be sold on. That is why acceptance of a CVA by the current existing creditors is so cruitial for CPFC before it will attract new owners.
[cite]Posted By: pauldcpfc[/cite]37 offers for the club currently.
Fnnaarr, fnnaarr.
I'm led to believe that at least one of these has been knocked back ;-)
[cite]Posted By: pauldcpfc[/cite]Stevie Coppell will be back soon enough.
Wanna bet? I hear he's agreed terms with another Club.
[cite]Posted By: pauldcpfc[/cite]Croydon Council have already said they will block any move to take the ground away from the team. They've also categorically said they wont be allowing any development that has nothing to do with football.
I can categorically tell you now, before you get your hopes up, that Croydon Council can do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to prevent Selhurst Park being developed for housing. They may turn down an application, but once it is appealed the planning application process is taken out of their hands. The only part of SP that needs to remain is the pitch area. Have you seen Highbury now?

Can you please list the players who have gone on to play top flight football from this "top 5 academy"?

I think you'll find that administration and a £30+m debt is Jordans only legacy.
The adminsitrator can guarantee NOTHING. I repeat NOTHING. He is there for the benefit of the creditors.
I think your trust is excellent and I take my hat off to them. Are you a member Paul?
Croydon councillors pledging to keep Selhurst Park as a football stadium will also have one eye on the fact that the London borough elections are 10 weeks away (along with the probable general election) and it's nice to say such things when your seat's up for grabs.

King Size?
Don't push it.
So is your Manager.
I've already made my Palace offer and been turned down. This was for Pompey.
I suggest you keep building up the nectar points, you know you'd prefer to own the club you support in the summer.
Clubcard points or nothing for Mr Murray.
[Edit - don't waste any time listening he doesn't say anything of interest]
