NIXON's news today!

We need to offload some players, only SKD and Ricketts have gone from the 1st team squad [unfortunately].

I expect things will be a whole lot different come the end of the transfer window, and we will be better off for it.

You'll have to clarify this one for me Boggers.

Two similar sized clubs, but one is in the Championship with £135m worth of debt, the other is in the PL with little debt.

With that amount of debt it's highly unlikely we'll ever cement a place in the PL again.

Let me clarify, Im certainly not Boggers.

Bolton are a bigger club in pretty much every way (history, stadium, facilities) but that is largely irrelevant.

The infrastructure is that of a premier league club, we may have a big debt to the owner but everything is already in place for us to be in the premier league - An academy that was recently awarded top status, a state of the art stadium and training ground, plus a much bigger wage budget for players and staff allowing Dougie to reintroduce the sports science teams. 

Palace don't have an elite academy, have a smaller wage budget (although I don't know what they'll be doing next year) and both Selhurst Park and their training ground in Beckenham desperately need a revamp, neither come close to ours.

They'll get relegated this year, I've got little doubt of that. They've struggled to attract players and have a poor manager. I heard Steve Parrish on the radio just after their promotion he's sounds like a good chairman, but very realistic. He knows that it's most important for them to improve their infrastructure so long term they can compete, rather than short term throwing money at trying to stay up, getting relegated and being in the same position again.

"I'm certainly not boggers" 

Is that another dig?

Another dig? Where was my first?

This was just for clarification's sake.

Well it's obvious that you aren't me so I took it as a dig.

My mistake!

I was always told that if you've nothing to say then say nothing.  

Not feeling confident about Saturday.Zat Knightmare captain only Eagles and Hall can produce anything on the ball,presuming Chungy isn't playing.What happened to the parachute payment as it was supposed to go higher with the new TV deal.Yet we can't afford Spearing Surely there's a few quid in the kitty.Whats all this fair play BOLLOX as well,Monaco came up from leauge 2 in France and have spent about £160-000-000.Seem to remember there ground only holds 20-000 capacity.Thought these rules were brought in to stop Billionaires buying clubs then spend £55-000-000 on one player Falcao.Anyone explain this to me as it fucking stinks of corruption somewhere.

Regarding what Nixon said I think it could be Barry bannan? I'm sure his move to Blackburn has just collapsed.
Probably not..

Nothing is ever done to stop billionaires doing exactly what they want, when they want, to whoever they want. Anyone who tries to interfere will be bought off or if that fails dealt with in other ways.

Call me cynical if you like but I have never seen any evidence to contradict that view.

The fair play is only for the English football league...isn't it?

Try telling man city that

Excluding the Premiership...

The rules are for the prem too surely?

No I'm afraid not.

It was a vote between the Champioship clubs and it was passed. I did say somewhere on here that if Gartside would have got a vote then he would have voted against it.
