General Discussion / Re: NFR..wages

« Last post by bencher on Today at 01:16:06 PM »

I wonder if or how much non playing staff salaries have risen in the last 10 years or so,  e.g. physios, marketing department etc. We know some clubs treated their non playing/coaching staff poorly during the pandemic and I suspect their pay has barely risen at all while playing salaries have gone up around 500% in the last decade or so.

I think the police have a duty to investigate alleged racist incidents as a result of the political prioritisation of such matters over others. But that doesn't necessarily mean anything more than a quick look at the allegation and a decision that there is nothing requiring anything more.

If the complaint is literally about nothing more than the banner as shown in today's newspapers, it will quickly be dismissed.

Personally, I thought is was spot on and evidence that many of us are fully aware of the Saudi regime's record and policies.

Shame they don't attach more priority to daily crime, sounds like they are prioritising this down to political expediency.

Unless you steal a car and then you will have about 8 coppers ,4 cars, a helicopter and a sniffer dog on your tail.
Meanwhile your home is getting burgled and they dont want to know.

General Discussion / Re: Have We a Midfield Crisis

I’m not ready to write Quina off just yet.  When Ollie Norwood joined us his initial outings indicated he had barely any clue what we were trying to do.  Turned out to be effective cover for the first-choice midfield trio and subsequently had a rather better season in the Premier League than many of our players can claim.

Heck, even Steffjo was dire in his first showing.  Subbed around half time. 

Playing midfield can feel like being trapped in a tumble dryer until patterns of play are grooved.

I can't see what there is to investigate. It's not racism to tell the truth.

In normal circumstances, these are the types of games where I'd expect maybe a net loss on rivals and wouldn't be too concerned. Seeing as we had a string of bad results previously, this now isn't the case.

If we turn up then we win, it's as simple as that.

Their toughest opponent in this run of their has been Huddersfield and their form is up and down like a whores drawers. We got this.

This story is on BBC sport https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/59025887

It is about a banner displayed by Palace fans at their game with Newcastle. A complaint was made and police are now investigating. Really??? Is there no freedom of speech any more? I know for certain that crimes are reported and no police time is spent investigating them even when there is overwhelming evidence to catch the perpetrators of crimes. So, to spend any amount of time on an issue such as this is plain insulting and an affront to tax payers.

What's more, is that the banner is not lying and says the truth. I think the gavvers should spend more of our money on real crime which this aint, and weeding out the wrong uns from within their own force.

I'm expecting quite an entertaining game.

Should be plenty of goals - Hopefully we can be on the right end of a 2-1 or 3-2 result.

Now I've said that it's going to be a drab 0-0 :)
