Premier Lg EPL Matchday 38 - On Optus Sport

Don't think Bozza looks back on his time too fondly there. At least what he can remember of it.

He did wear a Chelsea scarf after the 2011/12 CL final win, so he must hold some affection for them.

But yeah, he was a total mess at that point. He was never the most professional player, but even then his time at Chelsea would be a career nadir.

Speaking of Mark Bosnich, TIL just now is he was born in Liverpool, NSW. Surely there’s a place for that bit of trivia on bingo night.

Any chance they all stay? Do the club want to cash in or would they try and keep this side together? Feels like a real fork in the road summer for Palace.

If they can keep this group and manager together, and bring in a couple, they’re a real chance to break that top 6.

Think Guehi will go, has said all season he won't re-sign at Palace and with only 1 season left on his current contract, the time to sell for a decent fee is now. No shortage of suitors and is English.

Eze, could go either way, think he is contracted for 2 more seasons, he loves Palace but the big boys are coming for him. Has a release clause, is a bit of a luxury player at times and would excel in a more successful team. Him and Olise are close so not surprised to read in an earlier post that Bayern are interested. From a selfish point of view, I'd rather him go to Europe and not play against him, as I know what he can do.

Don't think they'll let Wharton go yet, injury flattened him a bit this year, still only 21yo, Palace would want him to have a big season next year to increase his price before selling.

Munoz is 28yo, been fantastic, bought for under £8m, doubt he goes, but......

Mateta wasn't quite himself after his 25 stitches in February, still young, has suitors but doubt he'll go yet.

This is all before winning the Cup, who knows what these players are thinking now with Europa looming, only CL clubs might ask about them.

Owners have forked out some decent money to get this far and might want to see some back. Hope not, we're finally becoming relevant. Of all of the owners, Parish has put in the least £ but somehow retains a 51% interest, a genius and Palace through and through.

I mean he barely achieved anything at United either. Didn't he win a couple of league cups with Villa?
He started at United, didn't play - then he went back after Schmeichel left and struggled.

Are they going to go bust with no CL money? Wage bill was chips all in

Last I saw their wage bill was like 96% of their turnover which is unsustainably high.

Selling Martinez is a good thing, his mistakes before yesterday have cost them more than any refereeing blunder.

They're also in a European competition they can realistically win. As you would well know, trophies and parades > extra revenue. Imagine if your club's last trophy winning keeper was... Mark Bosnich.

He won a PL with Man U, but he wasn't particularly consistent.

And even there, he was pretty unprofessional.

I don't love it at all, but I know about 10 Tottenham supporters and most want a different manager.

Oh ok. Guess he's gone then.

Is there another ground palace could use if they have to reduce selhurst park capacity whilst it is being upgraded?

Lol

Well, if the rebuild ever gets off the ground, the plan was to build around the main stand being replaced without a reduction. This was the method used by the company who built the new stand at Anfield and I don't think Liverpool suffered a crowd reduction during their build.

Still being delayed...costs are rising. No favours from Croydon Council, Palace even have to formulate a crowd management plan at the local railway stations.

If Palace don't have their best players taken this summer I have a feeling it will happen the season after because I could see Palace doing some serious damage in the Europa League if they keep their better players around and healthy.

If Eze has a big run in the EL with a year left on his contract clubs will wait a year and make some big money offers.

Palace have a decent chance of winning the Europa with the current squad but Eze, Guehi and Wharton might be tempted by Champions League and doubling their wages.

Hopefully can manage to keep a lot of the group together but the transfer window sure does make me nervous.
