As has already been pointed out the wages of the top players disfigures the average wage.

Most players aren't on £30 grand.

Parish and co have been quite clear from the start.....Despite the regular calls from some posters on Hol we aren't going to bankrupt ourselves chasing glory.

They came in to stabalise the club and whatever the situation next season you won't see us taking risks financially just to stay in the division.

The fans on Palace talk who call for a 'twenty goal a season' striker or boardroom ambition won't ever really learn.....We got here without a massive club wage bill and we will look to remain with a 'competitive' one for a mid table side.

I see us going for Rhodes in the close season....But outside of that I doubt there will be much in the way of 'big name' signings.

It was £120mil in total over about 5 seasons if we got relegated. One annual total of £60mil ish and I think 4 of almost £60mil.

If you want to work out how much we make away from Prem & Sky money then we used to bring in revenue of £13-£14mil in the Championship (14th highest in that division). I think about £4mil was TV money, but that was with an average gate of 16,000, cheaper tickets and £1 and freebie tickets as well. The gate money doesn't go up a lot, but it's a lot to a Champ club on £14mil and money is money. Then there is also hospitality.

If we manage to finish about 14th or 15th then we might get £70mil and whatever we make on ticketing and hospitality and general revenue. That might reach to about £20mil, or it might not even be that much. But we blew a lot on updating Selhurst around the pitch on ad boards and tv gantries, a bit inside the Arfur I think, inside the main stand, and outside the main stand.

After having to satisfy agent demands for higher wages matching other Prem main stayers and asking prices for players we need to buy with cash to spend, you'll be lucky to have much left. What we need to do is make sure there is some left each season. I don't know, £5mil- £10mil so that it isn't just cash flow we're relying on until we get relegated but actual surplus money that isn't charged an interest fee in loans.

No it isn't.

One positive is that if we can remain in the Premiership then the size of the club will have been significantly increased from last season.

Little by little these improvements increase our status......But it does kind of mean that we are staying at Selhurst.

Which if we are ever to significantly progress we would need to move and build a new stadium......And ideally it would be at our ancestral home.

It is really in the big scheme of things, £1m.

Torres for £50mil one season. Ballack costing whatever it was at the same time. Other positions not updated. Several positions filled seasons after. £200k a week wages making £10mil per season for the player. Having 25 internationals who could play on any Saturday in 15 or more of the Prem matchday XI.

Told you I was thick...makes sense now
