Our time will come

unless you are Man City, Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, or Liverpool there is a chance you can get relegated from the PL. Everton has flirted with it occasionally, Newcastle are now. Then either your best players leave or they stick around on long, expensive contracts whilst not giving a stuff and you can end up going backwards, even with parachute payments. That is why football is so great. Unless you are one of the 'big' five nothing is guaranteed. I can't see Palace still being there in 15 years time without having at some point been relegated.1

Compared to our trophy littered history.....Godstone said:I remember when we beat Palace at Selhurst when they were facing the possibility of being wound up.
Massive support from Charlton. Kinsella as captain. We beat them and won what is now the Championship that season.
They went through Administration twice leaving local companies with huge losses as they paid next to nothing back. They scraped into
the Premier League at a good time but still have never won a major trophy in their 110 year history.
Yes, they hammered us with some soft penalties and a sending off - without those maybe we would have lost 2-1.
Palace can have their day. Charlton will be back, history says so.6 -
Living where I do I know a lot of pompey fans and they would never admit to that! But they are fan owned so at least they cant moan about twatty foreign owners. Coincidentally my brother lives a stones throw from Brammal Lane and their fans would admit to wanting to be in our place.Godstone said:That starting line-up looked destined to fail. It must have been one of our least experienced forward lines ever but things will turn eventually. Portsmouth and Sheffield United, among others, would love to be in our position.

Excellent post sir. And while I was there that day in early 2000 being a cocky twat giving it plenty of "We'll never play you again" and "bye bye to the nationwide" I can certainly see now that the roles have been reversed. Like it or not we are number two in south london but I hope one day we may challenge again. Like you say, it all comes in cycles, even clubs like Man City and Chelsea were in the old second division in my lifetime which is probably hard to believe for teenagers now!CAFCTrev said:
Im not so sure, you only have to have one bad prem season and you could get dumped back into the champ, even from a seemingly solid position of a few years with PL status. What makes me think that? Well, us obviously, but more recently Wigan, Blackburn, Fulham, Bolton, Leeds....cafctom said:The sport was very different back in 2000. The gap between the Prem sides and the likes of us is now wider than ever. Palace have players like Cabaye for crying out loud, whilst we're playing a 17 year old with no league goals to his name up front as we have little else to work with.
If Palace stay in the PL for another few more years whilst we stay in the Championship then there is every chance that they will race clear as a club permanently. They've timed their success perfectly.
Football clubs run in cycles, Palarse are having their time in the sun, we had ours in the 00s. What goes around comes around.2 -

Think I made this point in a post a year or so ago and was laughed at.The Red Robin said:Palace might come down eventually but I'm less and less convinced we'll ever be more than mid-table Championship at best with RD in control. I don't think he cares if we get there or not to be honest.

"What goes around comes around"
Yep. Exactly what that orange greaseball said to our cocky chairman when he started to lose the plot.
"being a cocky twat giving it plenty of "We'll never play you again"
I did hear this being sung on the radio, along with "Shalala etc Who's fucking laughing now?" and "Let's all laugh at Charlton".
Genuinely glad I didn't go - can't disagree the way our club has been run for the last 10 years is a joke. And yes the number of tools has risen and the support has got worse. Then again I suppose we are allowed to be bitter with one good season (in the third division) in TEN YEARS!!!
Until the current owner changes, nothing will change, we'll continue being pissed on.2 -
Bang on the money - unfortunately we exited the Premier League just as the really, really big money arrived.cafctom said:The sport was very different back in 2000.

well management has an awful lot to do with any successful organisation ...just look at the big nosed palace chairman when he is being interviewed (all too often for my liking ) on the sports channels ,he seems a decent level headed,shrewd, sensible ,approachable sort of guy ...supporter of the club ,in touch with the supporters
where as we have a young foreign lawyer with no previous experience of managing a football club as our mouthpiece .
Until RD moves on we will continue to wallow in our mire of medicrioty4 - Sponsored links:

Nothing lasts forever, I bet Palace fans looked on enviously at our team in the 2000s, with the likes of Jensen, Di Canio, Parker, and Bent in it. It wasn't that long ago when we were arguing with Greenwich Council's planning department over our plans to expand to 40k.
Long term Palace and Charlton are of a similar size, bigger then Millwall, but smaller than West Ham.1 -

I'm sorry but being in the prem doesn't guarantee success of you get relegated. The number of team that's get relegates from the prem and go straight back up is very small.
Like most teams, once you go down the wheels fall off and then there is a rebuilding process.
Look at Wigan, wolves, QPR, Hull, reading and penty more.0 -
Could d with some form of 'time' coming soon.

Lets be honest Palace should have been kicked out of the footy league in 2010 when they went into administration AGAIN!0
-
Look at the mess Pardew left at ourselves and Newcastle - coming to Palarse in due course. Perhaps the lesson is to look at what is being done for the long term rather than go looking for short term fixes.0

bet the unknowledgeable Palace lot think that's accurate as just them vs us too.AFKABartram said:Could d with some form of 'time' coming soon.

With the wage bill at palace as high it probably is they are one bad season from disaster. Its a matter of when not if.
Its a club only a year ago employed Neil Warnock. They will make a terminal error.0 -
Exactly. There may be more TV money to throw around, but its just going on players wages.stonewallpenalty said:With the wage bill at palace as high it probably is they are one bad season from disaster. Its a matter of when not if.
