I wasn't really that fussed about Townsend as I didn't like the way he left, but we should have called it off far earlier if there was no deal to be done. Rafa got strung along and that will have opened his eyes.

Rafa seemed pretty confident we'd bring someone in earlier... is this the end of the brief good work Fatty had let the club get along with? Cashley screwing us over as per usual? If Rafa walked I'd be doing the same.

Just reinforces the fact we are run by amateurs. I am not as convinced as some on here we are shoe-ins for promotion. We have fucked up too many times in the past. All of our rivals have strengthened and we have stood still. It's risky at best.

There is no way this club will ever move forward with that fat fuck and his pathetic little pisspot overseeing things. If Rafa stays beyond the summer I'll be amazed as he has been well fucked over here and there is no doubt he will feel totally undermined this window. The first warning signs were the Mirror article and everything since then has demonstrated that the fat fuck is back to form.

tbh, £2m loan fee for 4 months is bloody ridiculous.

 

Surely that depends on if it results in 2m being knocked off the asking price in the summer?

 

All the figures the last day or two were £2m plus £13m in the summer.

Thats partially what I think it comes down to.

 

CPFC "He's your's for 13mill"

 

NUFC "Well we don't want to commit and I don't think he does till we are certain of promotion, how about 2mill now and the balance if we come up. If we don't come up you keep the 2 and can sell him to someone else for whatever ?"

 

CPFC "13mill now or 2 now and 13mill in the summer"

 

It's a possibilty.

Hence why we should've bought and not loaned for £13m

That seems to have been (one of the) issue(s) though... It was reportedly £2m now as a loan fee, then the £13m release clause in the summer.

 

Don't think Ashley would ever be happy spending more on a player we sold just a year earlier.

 

Also, if Palace were now agreeing to an initial loan, their terms may have been an obligation to buy in the summer regardless of promotion.

 

Guess we'll never know the ins and outs of the deal being thrashed out.

 

But, we need to win the next 2 games at home, and then take it from there - hopefully keep that gap to 3rd place for the rest of the season.
