Yep, we can add him to the list of players we brought on and another club got the benefit for bugger all.

We had both McFadzean and Carter on the bench against Sunderland. I think we're in a better place defensively now. -
It makes me sick that he's being described as a" Palace Gem". They've has fuck all tp do with it. Just handed a cheque over to an impoverished club, (with billionaire owners),

Pretty confident we'll stay up now. Dependent on avoiding injuries to key players with JRC possibly the most valuable to us of all. Sorry Sammi! We played a blinder and that should vastly up our confidence. No reason why we can't play like that again. I expect we'll get the points from those remaining fixtures where the other side has nothing to play for. Points against the likes of Southampton and Leicester would be a bonus. Be a good time to sell us if we stay up. Its the most you'll ever get Venkys! Otherwise we stay up and face yet another transfer window farce and the problems kick off all over again. -
From the Guardian--enough to make you puke. Palace---a genius at discovering new talent! As if it wasn't bleeding obvious! Wharton the latest Palace gem Crystal Palace’s admired recruitment department have unearthed another gem in Adam Wharton, the 19-year-old bought for £18.5m from Blackburn in January. If Eberechi Eze was the outstanding player at the City Ground, his runs dovetailed with Wharton, whose vision and weight of left-foot passes were on point on a number of occasions. To follow Eze and Michael Olise, Wharton is the latest Palace diamond mined from the EFL, where talent abounds if you look in the right places. Daniel Muñoz, the Colombian defender also signed in January, also put in a fine performance at Forest. Little wonder Dougie Freedman, the former Palace striker and manager turned Eagles sporting director, is one of the most respected members of football’s ever-growing class of front-office execs. That Palace are renowned as a talent factory is tribute to the department Freedman heads up. Wharton, capped by England Under-21’s last week, represents the latest proof. John Brewin

Its a struggle though when you have 2 keepers like ours. I always feel both have a couple of blunders in their repertoire! Disgusting that we are lacking in such a key position. -
We had less possession too---45% as against 55%--seems to indicate we were rather more direct!

Its been a while....!

The day Kaminski went to Luton I wrote "this will come back to haunt us" Relegation looms just to save a measly £2M. It'll cost us way more than that. -
Local Derbys--Rovers v Chorley, Rovers v Bamber Bridge etc Players won't need the new coach, public transport available.

And what do you know, he's yet to sign a professional contract! Newc after him now. We are raising star players with little benefit for us! They don't play for us and we don't get a real fee. Unsustainable.

Media selling Finneran for us now! Just turned 16 and never kicked a ball for us. What's the bloody point? https://the72.co.uk/2024/03/26/elite-european-clubs-set-sights-on-blackburn-rovers-starlet/

Philips will be next. Tragic from our point of view.

Isn't he ineligible to play? -

JDT's style was meant for a reasonable standard squad. We didn't have one this season, thanks to the owners. He persisted anyway and we are where we are. Another opportunity thrown away I think. -

I don't understand this. None of us know but surely those employed at the Club get their orders from the owners. And I'm quite content in the belief that they instructed those 3 transfer bids to die at the last minute. -

Nobody on earth could believe we messed it up in the last seconds three times within a single year. This is Venkys pretending to support the club, while making this once-proud Club look ridiculous and forcing others to take the blame. Absolutely despicable. -

YES! Legislation introduced to parliament yesterday. Government will have statuary right to sack failing owners for the first time. Supporters will have statuary right to participate in their Club. Supporters have wanted this for years----don't minimise it. Once established it can always be strengthened. -

I cannot see the sense of holding on to the Club until we are promoted to the EPL. Firstly its not happened or even been close in 12 years+ so what makes Venkys think things will change for the better when everyone can see the situation worsens year by year? Secondly, say the reason for doing this is to get a higher price when they do agree to sell. If it takes 4 years, and I still think its never, that would be another loss of £80M to add to the losses incurred already of around £240M. So, conclusion, if their reasons are financial, they are even more deluded than I thought. Every year they hold on to the Club merely compounds the huge losses already piling up. The only sensible thing to do, from a purely financial point of view is to cut their losses, sell for what they can get now and avoid accumulating new debt every year. If there are other reasons, like wanting to get us back in the Premier League before they sell and bow out on a high as it were, then we are truly doomed because its not going to happen. -

Somehow we have to win 2 games. If we do, draws will get us over the line. Our scoring needs to pick up for this to happen. But how? Wharton from direct corners? -

Its a bit confronting though to know that no-one will ever be able to buy us under that scenario! As if we could ever achieve promotion to the Premier League under Venkys! That dream drifts farther away with every season they own us. -
