We'll always have the new main stand anyway, so not too bad.

He isn't 100% right either. Looking at your examples, West Ham have a far bigger financial reach than Palace. And yet we did the double over them and finished above them last season. Their players only really turned up for the European games. Leicester, Southampton and Swansea all relegated. Villa, bigger financial reach. Fulham have been a yoyo club in recent years. Wolves now paying the price for over spending in January. Brighton - bankrolled by Bloom. Able to build a new stadium on a greenfield site that gives them the income a redeveloped Selhurst Park would give Palace. Added to that Bloom has been very shrewd with his appointments. I get frustrated at times with the way that Palace are run, but I think that all fans feel similarly about their clubs from time to time. Look at Everton ! I think last season was the best opportunity of a European place. Brighton took full advantage of clubs that were underperforming ( Chelsea, Spurs, Villa to name but three ) and got that coveted spot. Palace were labouring under Vieira. Playing eleven consecutive seasons in the Premier League is a huge achievement given our limitations. It will be interesting to see if the media darlings at Brighton and Brentford manage that.
Your comment about beating them twice and finishing above them so what are we better of money wise NO and you have forgotten they won a EU trophy and now in UEFA Cup this season. 2. Yes those clubs have been relegated so have Palace many times but look how much better at least 2 of those clubs are doing money wise also history is not erased Palace has won 0 throughout whole time those other clubs have achieved more The limitations are down to the people running the club with small mentality and wanting family friendly with lack of ambition. Take a look at all the staff these people are cheap with large % having history with the club so rather then go out and get the best we settle for sub par this is how a lot of recruitment player wise is as well rather then buy better we settle for resigning contracts for players 30+ (our wages are not even good value look at the number they are poor we are paying out 90%+ from all TV money on) SP has no money so he's a waste of time, you have another 2 Americans who never intended to spend any money SP chose them knowing this and next you have another person who does a lot of talking about wanting to spend more but does he even have the money to loan the club I don't believe he does other wise you use influence to for example build new grounds or stadium expansion (I believe he was the one that funded academy the timing lines up) It's shocking how the only place you can buy Palace shirt is from club shop and this applies world wide decisions like this shows poor business.

So Where's the money come from to offer zaha 200k a week ? Or to sign a 20 mill for a keeper we don't need, how do you know they're not interested, do you have a personal relationship with them ? And if they ain't then that just proves my point, the board have a lack of ambition. The 200k never existed, and the 20m is actualy 15m, which is great value for a top keeper, alternatively we could waste the money on no marks who are no better than what we have.

How do you know it never existed ? And if who ever is in charge of transfers at the club can't find a better striker or rb than what we've got then they shouldn't be in the job.

£20m on another goalkeeper is nonsense unless Johnstone is going or we are planning to cash in on perhaps Doucoure and use the fee to cover the deficiencies in the side/squad.

Lanzo, did you get exiled abroad? The way you speak about people on here you’d be on your back within 5 minutes at one of the Palace locals. Try having a tad more respect for your fellow fans. Yours is not the only opinion worth listening to. Exactly why it's not worth giving a opinion don't agree with him your a idiot.

Or... there is more money there to be spent over the coming days and the Henderson deal was just the first available one to complete. Plausible although as always a guessing game as to reality.
Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!! |
