Because I think he may literally now be unstoppable if he has - you cant really tackle him any other way apart from grabbing him! Still have dreams of him bouncing off whole teams as he tears up the pitch. I miss him so much! You have some odd dreams 🙂 Link to post Share on other sites

What is the general consensus of Neil Cox as a player here? Thought he was solid in Division 1 but struggled with the step up in the Premiership . Link to post Share on other sites

Don't think he was the kind of player that really stuck in the memory. As you say, solid enough in the 2nd tier, but like a few of our lads at the time, struggled to cut it in the top flight.

Wonder whether a sliding cap based on revenue may have been a more ideal solution. Still better than nothing though! Can see the Championship following suit for sure. Sliding scale makes a lot more sense to me...say a maximum of 50-60% of a club's annual revenue. Bigger clubs that draw larger crowds, ticket & merch sales etc. and better sponsorship, should be allowed to spend more. Just not to the point where they risk putting the club out of business if they get relegated, or a financial crash, pandemic or other event outside their control impacts their income.  Link to post Share on other sites

What is the point in the 2nd and 3rd kit as it contains same colours as the home kit? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
smogsterking the Inspirati 2,490 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think something similar occurred in Liverpools home kit. Add a tinge of an extra colour and then say it represents the Liver birds then sell it for ÂŁ99. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie-H 1,322 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 The actual explanation for Palace's kits is even stupider, the chairman says he saw these kits as concept kits by a Palace fan on instagram and told Puma to make it happen. Ghastly looking kits as well christ, it's a shame because Puma are one of the better kit makers in my opinion their stuff looks like it fits snug. "I was immediately inspired when I saw the concept from a supporter who had shared designs on Instagram, with perfect synergy across all the kits for the upcoming season. Working closely with PUMA and our design team at Crystal Palace, we believed these were the designs we had to bring to life, and I’m proud to say we’ve done so. "We haven’t produced a shared design across shirts since our memorable promotion season in 2012/13, and there is no better campaign to honour in our eighth consecutive season in the Premier League. "I fully believe these kits are bold and eye-catching enough to captivate both current supporters and new ones – wherever they may be – and I look forward to seeing the team wear them throughout the upcoming Premier League campaign."

Old Codger 3,064 Posted August 7, 2020 Share Posted August 7, 2020 I think Cox looked OK next to Pearson and Festa...but when he was with Whyte, Whelan, Morris and Vickers, he got hung out to dry trying to cover for them and Kinder often looked like he was in a different team...the opposition...solid enough with decent support but not a stand out 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Very simplified under the SCMP (which has now been voted out) in League 1 you can spend upto 60% of your turnover on wages. League 2 is 55%. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
