Didn't Virgin sponsor Palace once upon a time?

Branson was knighted over 10 years ago I think.

Here's the answer to the 'new to palace' conundrum: King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia has appointed his half-brother, Prince Salman, 76, as the new heir apparent. The announcement followed the death of Crown Prince Naif on Saturday, the Saudi press agency reported, citing a royal decree. He has a beard too.

The team can kiss their forays to Faces goodbye then. THFC to become an alcohol free principality.

So the bearded Branson is looking to own a club maybe, but if his investment was to be as substantial as his one in F1, I'd tell him to **** off!

 

[codspur]

Lol a&c effin lol
Half that jism might be mine soz

Only half eh...imagine if you were spurnuts and not spurnut it could have all been yours

 

[doom]

so no word about Blanc now he's out of the Euros. Could it then be Dessaily we are waiting on, his first choice being the French job... if so we're in for a bit of an extended wait. Hopefully not Blanc after that poor tactical game against Spain. We need a manager who knows how to press teams, we haven't had one for god knows how long.

Dunno about that, Dessaily is currently running a sports centre in Ghana - quite decent pitches and the youth teams played some excellent attacking football..

 

[ajspurs]

Dessaily lol...

 

[VincenzoCoccotti]

No way would Desailly get the job, no experience whatsoever in management, Levy wouldn't even consider him

Interesting mate but bit of a step up I would think.

 

[Polyvore]

Did anyone figure out who the "volley player" was?

I think its mario mandzukic

 

[tony0379]

Dessaily? lol some of you fuckers need to stay of the drugs.

 

[Akqayid]

I reckon it was a volley from last season......

Morning mate.

Thanks for the nudges in the right direction last night. Interesting.

I'm 100% certain uncle joe and our glorious chairman won't let us down whatever happens in the next 10 days

 

[Dundalk_Spur]

Is it possible JJ is downplaying Akqayids info to protect the club from exposure, in the same way he has been holding on to sensetive info?

Also his comments on maybe knowing who Akqayids source is, means that JJ is definitely on the THFC payroll in one aspect or another.

Interesting times.

 

[atoubasrightfoot]

I still doubt we're going to sign any player before we get a new manager.

 

[trasores]

Looks like the Metro read the discussions on SC and made their own little story

You're not really saying anything here mate! So did you get initials wrong? Are you agreeing with JJ? Are you sticking to ur original info? Go on. Elaborate a bit! We need clarification!!!!

Interesting about potential new investment.

I don't think we need billions upon billions to compete with City, Chelsea, united, and Arse.

We are pretty close as it is.

But If the new investor was able to fund the new stadium and increase our ability to pay the top wages for top players that would be perfect. Hopefully the FFP rules will then take care of the likes of City and Chelsea blowing everyone out of the water by paying truly obscene wages.

New owners/investors with a bit more clout.
A new stadium with our already built new training ground
A forward thinking manager

We will be in a very good position.
