The Palace Podcast

@Alitheeagle1 Wasn’t there talk of Inigo Perez??

🚨 Who should be the next Palace manager ? Poll: With Iraola allegedly looking unlikely and focus on other targets. For me, Thomas Frank is the name that transcends both scenarios of winning the Conference League or not. Who would you go for ? Shout if name not on list! #CPFC

@SkySportsNews Ha! Bentley!! Another classic example of a player who destroyed his own career.

"Everybody loves watching Tottenham" 🗣️ Former Spurs player David Bentley claims that the club has the potential to be the 'biggest in the world' 🌍 #SkySportsFC

Enjoy the ramblings of this waste of space! planetfootball.com/latest/richard…

Japan completely superior to Scotland yet the MOTM is a Scot! Nice work @BBCScotland @BBCSport 🙄🙄 #ScoVsJapan

@TB8812 @PalaceReport @samuelluckhurst Ha! This is true. Him and Pino. We’re gonna need a bigger banjo. Or barn door. Or both.

@PalaceReport @samuelluckhurst He will leave Palace with 0 goals scored, mark my words. Class player but cant hit a barn door with a banjo.

🚨 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Adam Wharton expects to leave Crystal Palace this summer. Wharton believes he is ready to make the next step and wants to join a Champions League club. @samuelluckhurst

Oh dear Wales…

Terrific game in Wales.

@WhyteleafeEagle Yes, tickets sorted.

Has anyone purchased a Fiorentina home ticket? As I’ve not seen anyone bragging about getting one on social media

@PalaceReport @Matt_Law_DT @mcgrathmike Hardly a shock. He’s mentioned all the time!

🚨🇪🇸 BREAKING: Crystal Palace consider shock move for Andoni Iraola. Bournemouth coach out of contract in the summer and his plans unclear at this stage. @Matt_Law_DT / @mcgrathmike

@SkySportsNews 😆😆 never gonna happen, Tim!

🗣️"I will keep them in the Premier League!" Tim Sherwood says that he would help Tottenham Hotspur avoid relegation if he were called in to manage the club.

@VirginBet Love it that Virgin Bet have got Daffy Duck to do their radio ads!

@henrywinter Outrageous. Institutionalised cheating. No points deduction! No actual transfer ban.

Good result for Chelsea: club fined only £10m and given a suspended transfer ban after Premier League found 36 separate undisclosed payments totalling £47.5m made “to 12 persons or entities on behalf of the club”. Lenient sanctions. No sporting sanctions. Yet these are serious offences, as the sanction agreement between the PL and Chelsea makes clear, stating “they were not only obvious and deliberate breaches of the rules but also because they involved deception and concealment in relation to financial matters”. Yet no points deductions. Just a manageable (if record) fine and a “suspended one-year first-team player transfer ban (suspended for two years)”. Surely they gained a sporting advantage by recruiting such players? So surely a sporting sanction should be in order? And where's the consistency? In 2008, Luton Town received a 10-point deduction for irregularities in dealing with agents (nb from FA). There still could be some further sanctions by the FA following its "ongoing investigation". PL points to mitigating factors: current owners Clearlake/Todd Boehly in May 2022 voluntarily self-reported potential historical breaches from the Roman Abramovich era. Club co-operated extensively and helped provide (with others) 10,000 documents for PL investigation. PL established “that between 2011 and 2018, undisclosed payments by third parties associated with the club were made to players, unregistered agents and other third parties”. Payments related to the purchases of players including Eden Hazard, Willian, Samuel Eto’o, David Luiz, Andre Schurrle and Nemanja Matic - there is no suggestion any were aware of the illicit payments. The detailed work of the investigators – and level of Clearlake’s co-operation – is impressive. The sanctions less so. It is a legitimate debate: should a club be punished for offences under a previous owner? Yes, most fans of other clubs would scream. It's a deterrent. And the value of those players' contribution and subsequent sales arguably still benefits the club. PL also investigated “potential breaches of the Premier League’s Youth Development Rules, committed by a former senior employee, relating to the club’s registration of Academy players between 2019 and 2022”. Again, self-reported by the club, this time in 2025. Chelsea punished with £750,000 fine and immediate nine-month ban from registering academy players from PL and EFL clubs. #CFC

@brucemillington We have no guile or invention in breaking down the so-called “low block”. They all just pass the Wharton hoping he will do something. The back three just pass to each other… 🙄

We should sack Glasner. It’s just so relentlessly boring now. A rigid formation, a rigid approach. No flair. No risk. No crosses. No potshots. Full backs being asked to be wingers. Too many defenders. God, I miss Wilf so much. Happy Monday everyone❤️💙

How can Chelsea avoid a points deduction after such organised financial deception??

@WelsbyElton More relevant… who would you keep?!

Just one ?

@Bacoletplayer Have a look at the extended highlights. We had total dominance and on another night we win 2 or 3 nil. Their goalie pulled off a couple of great saves.

A passive flat performance…. too slow in possession. We certainly miss that one special player like Zaha Olise or Eze who can take on one or two players to create space or goal scoring opportunities. #cpfc

@kevinhunterday @neiog Wellies, sou’wester, possibly a dinghy.

Back to Selhurst for the first time tonight! 🥳 What should I take, walking stick or umbrella? #CPFC

Athletico “doing a Palace”!!

🤝 Jørgen Strand Larsen on Adam Wharton: “As an attacker, when he’s on the ball just make a run and he will find you. Those two passes looked really easy, but they’re not.”
