Agreed, that owner is bad news. They have it in them to go from one extreme to another.
The pointing fingers at Palace was distasteful also. Not to mention at ourselves. People in glass houses and all.
I'd be looking forward to Europe as a...
I'd like if they stayed up. If that was any other season I'd have to add a "but not at our expense" caveat but hopefully those days are gone.
Fair play to them for doing business early. There at least appear to be a couple of good prospects there.
Textor gambled Lyons future and got lucky. This time.
Obvious parallels with Moshiris risk taking.
Both men come / came across as lovers of the game, in it for the fans etc but that has to be backed up by at least basic levels of accounting...
Mangala was an unfortunate one to lose when he was playing well and contributing. You are right though. Broja & Lindstrom although I had hope for Lindstrom basically wasted 2 loan spots. That could contribute to the difference in league placings...
Though less likely, I'm hoping we might be able to get a couple of loans done too by kickoff.

I'd like us to get our main business done first...
Likely already been pointed out - but interesting that the club has decided to run with this graphic on their socials in relation to this perception that we'll be seeing 'lots of new faces' this summer...
I'd like another 5 in by kick-off.
Can add loans/frees after, and by deadline day.
Signings will come in dribs and drabs, but we need to be averaging one a week or thereabouts till kick-off.
