    I think I broadly agree with you. It just shows that development isn't linear, and also depends on environment and how a player is used by a coach, who they are playing with, and how (tactically). Along with physical and technical development, luck with injuries, and an intangible x factor.

    I bet he could do a current 'T' level job. But you might not want to pay the fee plus wages for that.

    Isn't this a stupid/redundant comment from Parish?

    Yes you'd still be out, because it's not you, Josh and David that have the conflict - it's Textor i.e. "Eagle Football". I guess he's making the point that it's not his fault, it's Textors. Textor missed the deadline. I'd argue THEY should have been more proactive in talking to Textor about the issue; there's no evidence or even anecdotes that they tried.

    If Textor had put his Lyon shares in a blind trust, that would have resolved all the problems and he could still have sold his Palace shares if needed.
    It's not like anyone really thinks a blind trust owns Forest.

    CAS will uphold Palace's case and we'll crash out in the qualifying round to Yurt Town Albion, much to away fans amusement from now until the end of time.

    Yes exactly. So I'm not quite sure what Parish thinks he is "putting to bed".

    That's agent Textor to you, Grasshopper.

    Rob Dorsett thinks that Leicester are going to get a 9 point deduction for the start of the season.

    Doesn't he say that every year?

    Just listened to the price of football podcast from the day after Palace lost their Europe League place (it's hosted by a Palace fan). He sounded well pissed off. His argue seems to be that as we were deducted points for FFP recently we shouldn't be given the Europa league place . Or something.

    Kieran Maguire seems to think that there's a good chance CAS overturn it.

    Textor has apparently set up a new company in the Caymans and is planning to sell Botafogo and Molenbeek to it, presumably so he can walk away from the debt he's run up with Eagle Holdings. That man is so fucking sketchy.

    Well they should be getting one every year.

    Wellington Phoenix beat Wrexham, which loosely suggests it's going to be a tough Champo year for the Welshies. The Phoenix aren't very good.

    Rob Lee's son plays for Wrexham which feels, as they say, too soon.

    See the excuses are coming in early this year:
    Arteta “In terms of numbers, we’re short and we have to improve the depth and quality of the squad “.
    Howe: “loss of sporting directors Ashworth and Mitchell has wrecked Toon transfer plans “. (Two sporting directors in two summers - maybe something rotten in the Kingdom of the North East).

    Not strictly speaking other club news per se (yet), but I read this morning that everyone's favourite duty free magnate fairytalists Kin Power are evidently in a bit more financial bother (presumably) as are closing a number of outlets.

    I hope this doesn't have any adverse knock on effect to the extremely well run family oriented wholesome football club of theirs who have had some really rather dreadful luck of late through no fault of their own.
