CRYSTAL PALACE SEASON PREVIEW

As pre season finishes for Premier League sides, the fans are full of hope as they are before every season.

We take a look at Crystal Palace today.

With their season kicking off tomorrow, Selhurst Park is set for another Premier League season. The stadium, that was opened in August 1924, was last renewed in 2014 and has got a capacity of 26255. With an electric atmosphere, it's always a hard place to go for the big teams.

And the fans will have to play their part on opening day of this season as well when Palace hosts Liverpool. Newly appointed manager Max Mustermann will have to get all out of his team to get something out of a Liverpool side that will be coached by Borussia Dortmund legend Jürgen Klopp.

One of the key players of Musterman's side is certainly Yohan Cabaye who joined the club from PSG for a club record fee in summer. While Mustermann haven't made an own signing yet, he is reportly looking for Reading youngster Aaron Kuhl.

Predicted finish: 9th place.

TRANSFER UPDATE

We have currently tried to get Joel Campbell from Arsenal but the deal fell trough as Arsenal wanted far to much for him. We tried to sign Aaron Kuhl from Reading as well and already had an agreement with the club but the player signed a new conract with Reading instead of signing for us.
We haven't sold a player yet and I'm not keen to do so.

It's one week to go until the end of the transfer window and we haven't made a signing. YET!

THE EXPERIMENT IS OVER

Following the league defeat against Tottenham (4-0), Crystal Palace just announced that Max Mustermann and the club part company. Mustermanns side failed to score in each of the 4 Premier League games the've had this season while only gaining 1 point.

Michael Owen has his say: " Crystal Palace partiing company with Mustermann means that he won't be the manager of the team. Mustermann won't be happy I guess. "

Crystal Palace will watch out for a new manager during the international break while Mustermann will fly back to Austria to consider his options.

Hi Guys,
if anybody was reading this story - it's now over as I wasn't good enough and the board wasn't really patient.
I might start another story soon but I would like you to give me some advice about my writing (not grammar, as I'm not from an english speaking country this issue won't get that better soon). Is there anything you would like me to bring in? Like interviews or something?
Thanks.
