i reckon we can only afford one more loss in those final 6 games. let's say that is west brom, then 8 or 9 points from the other games should be enough.
what might be in our favour is West brom should be
promoted by then & Newcastle champions so that game
will mean more to us then them. could be worth at least
a point for us.

Selhurst Park?

The ground is not an absolute stumbling block but has to be sorted out. The feeling amongst the consortium is that the administration for the ground are asking an unrealistically high amount. A lot of negotiations will take place. If anything allows this CPFC2010 bid to fall down it will probably be the ground issue.
this is why i'm not getting over excited about this takeover
yet. still many days of worry ahead i think.

I could help reading about Place's plight, and i not fan of the team, but one thing i have to ask is about Simon Jordan is he a fan of the club before he brought it or was just one of this onwers who wanted a 'toy' to play with and got fed up with it after a while

He is a lifelong fan of the team. He even signed for Palace as a schoolboy but never made it as a professional. His father also played for Palace reserves so the club has always been a big part of his life. It is a great shame it's all gone pear-shaped in the end.

here is another interesting article:

Football clubs may see going into administration as the safest way to stay afloat, but it doesn’t come cheap.

Luton Town went into administration on November 22nd 2007 and documents reveal that they were charged £967,540 for seven months worth of service from P&A and Brendan Guilfoyle, the chief administrator.

Insiders who were involved in the administration process at Luton told FourFourTwo: “Charges from the administrators were just under a million [pounds].

"This included some lawyers fees too because they also fought the FA on the points deduction. Guilfoyle charged £300-an-hour for his personal services.”

Guilfoyle is currently attempting to get Crystal Palace out of administration and, despite his expensive costs, people who have used him before believe that he is the man for the job.

A director of one of Guilfoyle’s projects stated: “Mr Guilfoyle tried to progress things as fast as possible at Luton, and continually sought to get the best deals for the creditors. In my opinion he was what an administrator should be.”

Recent revelations have suggested that media tycoon and lifelong Palace fan, Steve Parish, is the front runner to take over at Selhurst Park.

Sources close to Parish said: “Steve’s consortium should include Simon Jordan (the club’s main creditor) which would mean coming out with a CVA and therefore no more points deductions.

"Steve has enough cash to ensure Palace are competitive in the Championship. If he were to take over expect him to invest in facilities as much as playing staff.”

FourFourTwo understands that a deal was put to Jordan last year by Parish and a consortium of South London businessmen that offered the former chairman no cash, but to convert his debt into equity, with guarantees that he would get his money back when the Eagles next reach the Premier League.

However, Jordan rejected this offer and Palace went into administration.

It would now seem that this remains the best deal on the table. Sources involved with Steve Parish’s bid commented: “The only stumbling block on Steve’s bid is the CVA and Simon Jordan agreeing to it.”

In a strange turn of events it now appears that the life of Crystal Palace Football Club is once again in Jordan’s hands.

Makes you wonder just what on earth Jordan was thinking?!

from today's croydon advertiser and it looks like PwC are going to prolong any sale of the ground.

The ground is owned by administrators PWC who said they "would not be rushed into any hasty decisions". They claimed to have "a significant number of enquiries from a wide range of potential purchasers...We continue to explore every available option.

"The timescale will reflect this level of interest. There are a lot of interested parties and this won't be done tomorrow."
tossers. sounds like they want to stretch this out until the end of the season when we then run out of money.

^ I just knew something like that would happen and that it wouldn't be a forgone conclusion. So once again we have to sit, wait & worry about our future.

if i was CPFC2010 i would start to look at other alternatives apart
from Selhurst Park. maybe a groundshare or the athletics stadium.
the most important thing is the survival of the club itself not where
they play. if PWC hold the consortium to ransom over the ground
this may end up being the only option.

That did occur to me, too. I think the Athletic's stadium is a non-starter as Bromley council have said before that they do not want a professional football team in the borough but that was a while ago.

The groundshare option would not be ideal but these are not ideal times so may be something to look into. Although, I can see only 3 possibilities - Charlton, Millwall or Fulham.

i would hate a groundshare especially after all those years with charlton & wimbledon at selhurst. but if it saved our club then there really is no option but to go for it. not with millwall though. that would be the ultimate nightmare. i'd prefer craven cottage.

today's team up at boro.

Speroni, Derry, McCarthy, Ambrose, Danns, Carle, Lawrence, Lee, Ertl, Davis, N'Diaye.

Subs: Manns, John, Scannell, Andrew, Comley, Zaha, Holland.

Bit odd that Scannell and John are on the bench after the win in midweek.

Watford winning is a pain. We need Preston to get back into that one. Aswell as not losing ours of course!

It's now Peterborough 1-3 Newcastle. That will pretty much condemn Peterborough to the first relegation spot.

And the irony is that Tom Soares gets the equaliser for Wednesday.

Peterborough not giving up. 2-3 v Newcastle, now.
