Palace wouldn't exist. Check back to my first response.

Two administrations in 10 years shows the fundamental flaw in our business plan.

If it wasn't for ultra-wealthy business owners like Parish and Jordan we'd have gone bust. Under your model, they wouldn't have been able to accumulate the wealth to invest in the club to save it, or turn it into a profitable going concern.

If its the next man down the ladder he is probably on 90% of the incumbent CEO...and could probably do the job...and probably would as well, if he is given a 10% pay rise!
I'm afraid I dont subscribe to the "anyone can do that - I could that job". The fact is no they cant and no you couldn't..

Following Palace since 25 Feb 1978

3.5million people own companies in the UK. That doesn't mean they could all start businesses to earn enough to buy a football club, and its not the kind of business a bank would give you the money for.

Simply offering more money won't make people apply for a job. MP's earn twice the average salary and need no qualifications, you don't see people climbing over each other to get those jobs. The PM probably earns 12 times as much as the tea lady in Downing Street, but she probably doesn't want Boris' job and wouldn't be able to do it.

This is dumbing down a much more complex issue.

It may be that someone at a slightly lower level that the CEO could do a jobs but they'd need to convince shareholders, customers, underwriters etc that they have the skills and experience to do a better job. Plus they'd need to what the job and there to be a vacancy.

There's probably someone in Selhurst Park every week who could do a better job than Roy (normally the away team manager) but they'd never get the job because you'd have to convince all the stakeholders that they are the a better manager, and that will never happen.

There's better way to solve those issues than cutting the pay of top executives.

Legislation is the way to protect house prices. The Tories have done more than new Labour ever did to prevent B2L landlords snapping up all the property. This year has seen a record number of landlords selling up. Mostly due to tax changes and lower yields.

But you are right, we've got ourselves into a mess with housing over decades and it is going to take a very long time to untangle all the issues.

Also, I don't live by the sea anymore

It used to be 'how the other half live'. With the wealth gap ever increasing it's now more like how the other 0.5% live.

The way I see it is you have an interview, discuss Ts and Cs including salary and accept or decline.
Wtf has what the boss earns got to do with anyone.
Start dictating how much a company CEO,director or owner can earn and there will be many people not working at all. But hey at least everyone will be equal. What you want is nationalism CP. Was tried back in 1936 in a land not far away. Didnt go well tbh.
