Was great seeing so many unhappy nigels on the train home tonight.0 -
It is no surprise to me - but this season was always going to be a season where they had to suck it it and count their money. The facts are that from January last year, their form in the league was nearer to relegation than promotion. Somehow they got through the play offs and their fans should be giving Holloway more credit for that but then they started this season without Murray and Zaha. So it isn't even arguably, they are weaker this season than last.
How does Palace go out and buy a replacement for Zaha and strikers are a real premium. Hollway is a brave manager and brought lots of players in because the one or two top players their fans say he should have brought in were not available. He tried to get Bent, who would have been a terrific signing for them. But Bent is not a player who would want to play in the Championship if they went down! Holloway took a risk by bringing loads in, but beggars can't be choosers. It is like putting your money on as many numbers as you can in roulette.
I honestly think they will be breaking records this season (the wrong kind from their perspective) - They got promoted far too early! But that is only from a footballing sense - the money they have will be a major boost to them in the longer term.0 -
7 consecutive seasons finishing above us and counting0

Let's have it right, Holloway made some absolutely shit signings in the summer, plus if he was at the Nigels for all of last season they wouldn't have even made the play-offs.MuttleyCAFC said:It is no surprise to me - but this season was always going to be a season where they had to suck it it and count their money.

Gratifying to see them squirm week in week out but their too early and fortunate promotion has put them financially light years ahead of any plans they had and more disappointingly light years ahead of us.0

Lets have less of a reasoned debate please.
I just enjoy their weekly misfortune and curse Sunderland, so shit that Palarse took points off em...0 -
Chamakh refused to get on a plane to a European gane once cause he realised he had forgotten his hair gel. Lol.0

They were lucky beyond belief to get promoted as it was. I honestly can't remember a side playing two opponents in the play-offs who had run out of steam quite so badly; they effectively got two free-results out of three games. Still the chickens are coming home to roost now :-)I_Saw_Semedo_Score said:

Sadly too true. I'd swap getting trounced every week in the Prem for one season if it meant a better longer term team and a platform to build on for the next 5 years. On the bright side hopefully they've completely cocked up the contracts and Chamakh et al will still be drawing £10,000s per week as they do a Wolves...ShootersHillGuru said:Gratifying to see them squirm week in week out but their too early and fortunate promotion has put them financially light years ahead of any plans they had and more disappointingly light years ahead of us.

How often does all the money that relegated teams supposedly make from the Premier League really set them up for 5 years?
I don't remember it being that clear-cut ever.
Any money they will make will have little difference if they get relegated. Just look at half of the Championship and some of the teams in League One.0 -

West Brom did it very well, yo-yoing a couple of times but keeping a tight budget and are now a lot better off. Hull have come back up, Blackpool built a new stand and are challenging again this year.
QPR have a very rich owner anyway but are looking good to bounce straight back up.
The teams that tend to suffer are those that have been in the prem a bit longer and so have bigger debts and/or wage bill ie Wolves, Blackburn, Bolton (over £100m in debt) or are run by crooks ie Birmingham, Portsmouth.
So Palace won't be guaranteed promotion but they will have approx £48m more income than us over four seasons from TV money assuming we both stay in the Championship.
Of course they could waste that money completely or they could spend it wisely but they will still have the money, if they choose, to build a good squad, upgrade Selhurst, upgrade their training ground to get Cat 1 status.
The unknown is what liabilities they come down with. Will they have any debt? Unlikely. Will they have a lot of players on high Prem wages they can't get rid of? Possibly as Holloway bought too many players and the new manager may want more.
But financially their prospects are much better than ours as it currently stands. Unfortunately they seem to have finally found some sensible owners who won't do a Goldberg or Jordan, more's the pity.0 -
Maybe if we're really lucky this time next year the roles will be reversed and they will be sneering at our feeble attempts to compete in the Premier League with an ill equipped and woefully out of it's depth squad ;-)0

They must have realised early on that they were unlikely to get anyone of decent quality in.Yet they still went and bought o lot of players who probably wouldnt have made the team last season.Hopefully thats wasted a bit of their ill gotten gains.0

You can always buy quality if you are prepared to spend big. It's spending big on dubious quality that does for many teams. Far too many players in the prem earning crazy money and not doing it. Unfortunately I think Palace have been frugal in the certain knowledge that relegation will follow but not being hamstrung by having players drawing huge wedge next season in The Championship where I expect them to be very strong. I think it might be a while before Charlton are on a level that Palace find themselves.
