I think it is them actually?

Maybe I just took that to be trying to cause Palace (and Parish) a load of hassle rather than wanting to pursue them personally.
-
Yes same. Marinakis doesn't give a shit about a few fans, he's smart enough to know that the supply of opposing fans is limitless. I have no doubt that he's pissed at Palace and specifically Parish for painting him as the reason they got kicked out of the UEL and deflecting from the fact that it was their own ineptitude; there's also an angle that it was actually Textor who was the reason Palace broke the MCO rules, and we know that Textor and Marinakis are tight.
I am very sure this is everything to do with Marinakis wanting to embarrass and / or damage Parish, and nothing to do with the fans who actually held the banner.
-
Risk with that is that disclosure on his side means something he'd rather not be public moves into the public sphere. Although the case with the Aris guy (if that gets that far), has the same risk, Woody Johnson (the majority owner of Palace) is probably richer than Karipidis so can probably afford to push harder, if he really wants to.
-
Whatever, it's all nonsense. If you don't want to be subject to some low grade baiting don't buy a football club.
-
Woody Johnson isn't going to get involved in a big legal battle with a powerful and rich owner with all manner of connections in football, especially this early in his tenure. I suspect it's far more likely Palace settle and throw Parish under the bus (and it's largely his fault anyway, given he tried to use Marinakis as the scapegoat for his own ineptitude).
-
He was being accused of criminal activities. If I held up a banner next time we play Palace saying Steve Parish is a paedophile, I'd expect to be facing charges and, probably, a life ban from the City Ground. However funny I thought I'd been about it.
