Severe backtracking taking place, lets randomly wish a good death on someone who is well below average age for a male and someone you hate.

Was my original post edited?, or it is because you're actually too dumb to see your mistake? Nice try though you bellend.

I stopped at an M1 service station on the way home on Sunday (one up from Scratchwood) and saw Gary Hoffman and Joe Elliot.

He probably won't hear me from where I sit but I'll give it a go.

There will be willing buyers but only for what it's worth.
Unfortunately Sisu want to the buyer to clear most the debt and there lies the problem.

Didn't SImon Jordan lose his fortune when in charge at Palace, and wasn't that partly because he was unable to reach a deal for the ground?
Click to expand...
No, think you are talking about the reign of Mark Goldstein
His fortune had taken him 15 years to accumulate but, after his purchase of Palace for £23.8m, it took him a mere 18 months to lose. “It’s really a question of not dwelling on these things,” he says, quietly. “You become ill if you do.”

You're thinking of Mark Goldberg, but mine was a rhetorical question

Jordan ended up putting Palace into administration, after messing up a deal he thought he'd made for Selhurst Park.

Where did anyone mention a rumour that he is dying though?

All its suggested/rumoured is that he may not be in the best of health. People recover from illness all the time.

If it is true that Tim fisher is ill, then i will wish that he makes a a speedy and full recovery. Not that he has a good death, thats just sick.

I thought he'd completed the deal and that's what broke the club forcing it into administration? The only saving grace being that the club and ground were at least one entity again going into administration meaning that the club actually had some worth as a going concern.

Nope.

He said he'd made the deal, but it actually turned out to be owned by someone else, and was leased to the club on a relatively short lease, for over a £million in rent pa, crippling the club.

Sound familiar?

I never wished him death, I instead wished him a good death, if he in fact is dying. That's life, we all die. Hopefully he's taught his children that. Well done for not comprehended what I wrote you shambles of a man.

What an embarrasing backtrack. I thought perhaps I'd missed something subtle but you started your sentence with "good" in response to someone saying he was in poor health.

That's a disgusting comment and you should be embarrassed.

Yup.

He's an odd one. At the time, I thought he did a good job for Palace - he put a lot of his own cash in, he was a fan, he turned them round after the Goldberg debacle.

But the stadium schenanigans were just... odd, he seemed to lose his mind at times with some egocentric decisions (he and Dowie ended up falling out rather), and he left the club exactly where he found it - in crisis.

Now ultimately, you can let him off some as self-made man and fan, who ended up owning the club, and this is a better model than random investors rocking up. Not sure what he has about his ownership that'd make anybody want him to rock up at a random club such as ours, however.

I saw Elliot standing at the bottom of the elevators randomly trying to shake everybody's hand who was going up them.

Was a bit random.

Well that is ambitious - last I heard it was to buy BPA, CCFC , CRFC and Coventry Bears - they must have had a windfall to consider the above

All subject to proof of funds of course and actually sending an offer letter!
