Their end of season form this year isn't much different to ours under Curbs once we'd hit the 40 point mark. Don't think it's worth reading too much into that.
However, their squad is spectacularly stale, and the loss of Zaha will be a major blow.
Don't really understand this, as I don't recall them ever spending that much, but I keep getting told by Palace fans at work that they're burdened with a huge wage bill, and can't make significant investment in the side.
Certainly think they'll be there or thereabouts next season, but will probably fluke their way out of it yet again.

Also not only have they not spent much, but they got 50m for Wan-Bissaka, so that along with the tv money must mean they have tons of money to invest.
So, another year in the PL for them. How depressing. I wonder if their fans are moaning that the team give up after they reach 40 points, or that Woy isn't good enough to take them to the next level?

Haha, yes, would love to know if those Charlton fans are now.
Probably had a season ticket at Watford now thinking about getting a Fulham one.

I think the likes of Sahko and Benteke are on pretty high wages (and cost £60m in the first place).

Go on their message board, they are moaning like mad. Even had one I know telling me their chairman is ruining the club and needs to go. Bunch of nobs but happens at every smaller club. You sit in the PL for a few years and it gets stale. Starting the season hoping for mid table, knowing you will never win it or challenge. It is not really about what sport is about.

I thought the Yanks were taking dividends?
Possibly, also know they're looking to renovate their shithole ground so perhaps holding money back for that
Next season you have 9 with no chance of relegation;
Liverpool, Chelsea, Man Utd; Man City; Spurs; Everton; Leicester; Arsenal; Wolves.
In addition I reckon more money will be chucked at Aston Villa and Leeds and (takeover permitting) Newcastle which will make those 3 fine.
I reckon Fulham go up in the playoffs and chuck a bunch of money at staying up again and manage it.
That would leave 7 into 3 relegation places... Being Sheff Utd; Burnley; Southampton; West Brom; Brighton, West Ham and Palace.
It is just a shame they have Roy as manager as he seems to be ever capable of avoiding relegation but they will definitely need to invest or get very lucky this summer and their Yank owners seem keener to take money out than put it in.
I'm not so sure Roy will be starting next season as manager.
He's moaning quite a lot at the moment about lack of investment - never a good tactic with your Chairman after not having won for 8 games. Fans don't seem completely happy with him either and I think I saw somewhere recently that they have got their eye on Dyche as a replacement.

They've got a massively expensive new main stand to build, something which has been delayed...

Exactly what I’ve heard. Their wage bill is ridiculously high for the quality of players they’ve got. Burnley’s is around half the cost and they’ve far out performed palace this season.

According to most sites you look at they are paying Zaha, Benteke, Sakho and Meyer a combined 475k a week.
Jairo Riedewald (whoever he is), is on 55k a week Conor Wickham has another year left on a 60k a week deal. Scott Dann (26 appearances in 2 seasons) is also on 60k a week.

Now that would be a shame.
Why would Dyche want to go to Palace? He can do better even if he does fancy a change.
Agree with Fortune, sounding increasingly like it's time for Roy to move on. But gievn what happened when they last tried to invent themselves, that must make the board nervous.
I think they're deluded if they think they can get Dyche. Unless they have a plan for how they can become a top 6 or even top 10 team that allows him to spend big. Doesn't sound likely given the apparent disinterest from their owners. They'll have to go abroad or to the Championship for their next manager, assuming Moyes is still at West Ham.

They took a massive loan out just before Christmas, to be paid for by the money coming in from Man Utd for him.

£85k and £110k a week respectively. Both contracted until 2021. Benteke signed a years extension in January.

Haha, they had a big fanfare when getting planning permission and now it might not happen. Oh dear how sad never mind.
They don't have planning permission and eve if they did they still have several difficult hoops to go through, not least Sainsburys are refusing to deal with them.
We've just been relegated, we've got three gold medal contenders for "Worst Football Club Owner" in one year, and we might even disappear as a club in the way that Bury were treated because of spivs, chancers and that's just the EFL, but it still cheers me up to laugh at Palace.
Their identity is based around three things: 1. trying too hard to be taken as a south London club 2. a rivalry with a team from Sussex, their neighbouring county 3. Olympic standard diving
The question is: who'd take Zaha on the wages he's on and the money Palace want?

Don't think any of the big 6 need him. For 40m i think Leicester or Wolves might show an interest. Newcastle if they sort out their ownership issues. Everton paid 40m for Iwobi so they'd be another option.
