ANYTHING ABOVE LAST SEASON 5TH PLACE IS A GREAT SEASON

JAN 2026 SO WE REJECTED THE MAN CITY BID, OLISE STILL WANTED TO LEAVE, BUT WE SAID WE'D ACCEPT A BID ON OUR TERMS.

WELCOME OTINO CASARINI - CEARA - £1.3M LEAGUE TABLE AT IS STANDS. AIM IS STILL TOP FOUR, BUT DO WE DARE TO DREAM FOR MORE. THE WEST HAM DEFEAT HURTS EVEN MORE NOW CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL TABLE, WE FIGHT ON IN ALL COMPETITIONS. CHAMPIONS LEAGUE DRAW SEE'S US DRAW RED BULL SALZBURG WE WENT IN FOR LONG TERM TARGET VALENTIN CARBONI BUT HE UNDERTSANDABLY CHOSE REAL MADRID. WEVE HAD BIDS REJECTED AND ACCEPTED FOR CENTRE BACK SCALVINI, ONLY TO THEN NOT AGREE PERSONAL TERMS SAUDI TEAMS ARE STILL INTERESTED IN GUEHI AND SESSEGNON LET THE DRAMA BEGIN... 15 HOURS LEFT. WE HAD BIDS FOR ARAUJO SO IT WAS TIME TO MOVE FOR VICTOR ROQUES, CONTRACT AGREED, THEN HE SIGNED A NEW DEAL WITH BARCELONA, BOTH OUR STRIKER TARGETS GONE. DEADLINE DAY OVER, THE SAUDI TRANSFER WINDOW IS STILL OPEN SO WE ARE EXPECTION ARAUJO TO LEAVE STILL. WE DIDNT GET OUR NUMBER 1 TARGET SCALVINI BUT WE DID BUY AN OLISE REPLACEMENT WELCOME ARDA GULER - REAL MADRID - £84M

Yeah hes been a nightmare and now this bid, olise is our best winger but we have roony, filip bundgaard and he has a 88m release clause, so maybe £97m is good , which £77m is guarenteed, the players will be upset but think we need to sell

NOV/DEC LETS START WITH SOME HOUSE KEEPING QUICK GLANCE AT MARCOS LEONARDO SHOWS HIM THAT HE COULD BE THE NEXT RONALDO R9.. VERY VERY HAPPY WITH THIS. ALSO GOT HIM TO SIGN A NEW DEAL TO GET RID OF HIS MINIMUM RELEASE CLAUSE CONSORTIUM HAVE PULLED OUT AGAIN. WHICH MEANT STEVE PARISH TOOK OUT A MORTGAGE ON THE CLUB, HE KEEPS GIVING ME TRANSFER MONEY, BUT THE CLUB ARE IN SERIOUS DEBT AND ARE PAYING £2M PER MONTH IN REPAYMENTS ON TO THE FIXTURES / RESULTS NOV STARTED WITH A DEFEAT AWAY TO PORTO FINALLY A WIN THE LEAGUE AGAINST VILLA, GOOD 3 POINTS EARNED GREAT AWAY DRAW AT TITLE CHASING CITY DISSAPOINTING HOME DRAW IN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE AGAINST BOLOGNA, QUALIFICATION TO KNOCKOUTS LOOKING SLIM MORE DROPPED POINTS AT HOME TO NEWCASTLE AFTER 2-0 AND 3-1 WE DREW 3-3 POM AWARDS FOR MARCOS AGAIN, WHAT A PLAYER FIRST AWARD FOR VALENTIN BARCO, YOUNG POM ON TO DECEMBER 3-1 WIN AWAY AT LEICESTER THEN ON TO ANFIELD, A SLOW FIRST HALF SAW US 3-0 DOWN AFTER 10 MINS, STILL A GAP TO BE CLOSED BETWEEN US THEM AND CITY FOR THE TITLE FINALLY ANOTHER WIN THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE VS WEST HAM WE RUN THIS CITY, ANOTHER LONDON DERBY WIN WE BOOKED OUR PLACE IN THE LEAGUE CUP SEMI-FINALS WITH A BIG WIN OVER EVERTON MORE GOALS FOLLOWED WITH A BIG WIN OVER SPURS, LONDON IS OURS! FOLLOWED BY A 4-0 WIN OVER BURNLEY, THATS 14 GOALS IN THE LAST THREE GAMES. FINAL GAME OF THE YEAR WAS A CRACKER, 2-1 DOWN AND DOWN TO 10 MEN WE FOUND A WAY TO WIN! CHAMPIONS LEAGUE IS THE AIM. WE NEED THE MONEY AS YOU CAN SEE ABOVE. WE HAVE TWO GAMES LEFT VS MAN CITY AND AT MADRID, A SMALL CHANCE OF QUALIFICATION BUT WEVE MADE A GOOD ACCOUNT OF OURSELFS FOR OUR FIRST EUROPEAN ADVENTURE SO ON TO JAN 2026, THE DILEMA IS WE NEED PALACE OUT OF THE RED AND INTO THE BLACK SO WE CAN BUILD THE FACILITIES AND STADIUM UP. WE ,MAY NEED TO SELL AND RELAY ON YOUTH. WE NEED A CLASS OF 95. OUR MAIN OBJECTIVE IS BUY NEW CENTRE BACKS AND THE TEAM WILL LOOK LIKE SERIOUS CONTENDERS. SAUDI CLUBS ARE LOOKING AT MARC GEUHI AND SESSENGON, I WILL DEMAND HUGE FEES. AND HERE WE GO! HE WANTS TO LEAVE AND WE MANAGE LIKE FERGUSON, NO PLAYER IS BIGGER THAN THE CLUB! BUT I WANTTHE MONEY UPFRONT! SO I MIGHT REJECT THIS APPROACH. LET THE TRANSFER WINDOW MADNESS BEGIN

Yeah def is a good save and team to use, i was hoping for them or wolves. only thing with palace is the chairmans debts, hes taken another loan out which ill put in my next blog, we are now paying out £2m pm in repayments. ill have to keep them in the champions league for a good few seasons, ideally we need a stadium increase. nov/dec results coming up soon

Thanks, its going well so far. we do need to win a trophy soon, and a takeover, palace have a lot of debt and its hard to build up finances to extend the stadium and training facilities. two chairman loans end in 2027

Other rumours has Ebere Eze having a £48m release clause, and because teams in the english prem and in saudi interested he refuses to sign a new deal, can we hold on to him? Tyrick Mitchell has a £69m release clause and also has teams in saudi looking at him, im happy with his release clause, but will he stay? NOW ON TO BUSINESS THAT HAS BEEN CONFIRMED. BACKROOM STAFF The club mutually terminated alot of deadwood and have improved the staff throughout, still not the best in the league but we are now in the top 10 in the country for most departments TRANSFER BUDGET - A NICE £49M TO SPEND.
