It's a double edged sword.
It's great to be in the money because it'll help rebuild Palace and establish us in the Prem. Sadly however, it's the Sky money that has done so much to ruin the beautiful game.

And I see signs of half remembered days, I hear bells that chime in strange familiar ways

Without intentionally rubbing it in, I made the point to my Watford-supporting mate that we chose a good season to go up.

Makes you realise how much harder it is for promoted sides to compete. Ignoring external investment, both clubs basically started on the same footing 12 months ago, yet we're now £75m richer.

We have, however, proved that you don't need massive player investment to succeed, but if spent properly it'll certainly help.

Best chance we've ever had to kick on?

I'm never quite sure how this works. Is that £75 million on top of the reported 120 million that we got last year or did that £120 million promotion include £60 million if we went down, so in theory for staying up we've gained an extra £15 million. All very confusing.

has resisted writing a single post on the Ross McCormack thread !!!

in the old holmesdale terrace days the toilets were well grim, no such modern stuff like hand driers or bog roll!

Sometimes I set out for Ludlow
Sometimes I end up in Chepstow

Do Palace now pay much larger transfer fees, much higher wages and hype their travel and accommodation cost to a 'luxury' level now?
Or do Palace spend to increase capacity at the old place, improve scouting networks, improve training facilities, improve customer comforts (including a legally acceptable disabled access and accommodation feature) and improved coaching and training for all players, but particularly the youth section?
No more false starts Palace, this is the chance to see the eternal potential of the club realised.

You'll still get those on here saying we cant afford a premiership player otherwise we will go into administration lolol
