Im sure Olise will be receiving maximum specialist attention and rehabilitation for his injury. But based on the original tear and immediate surgery, depending on the severity of the injury the normal full rehabilitation is 3-6 months for an athlete. This obviously depends on many factors (severity of tear, success of surgery, natural healing abilities etc etc). To return too quick and suffer another tear or strain to the same hamstring is not good news obviously. I doubt anyone will put a time frame on it, but just the fact it has re occurred in the same hamstring, I am guessing they are measuring full recovery in months not weeks.

Here we go again, sell a major asset and we will not benefit as most of the money will fill the pockets of Parish etc. A Palace fan for 65 years (and I wonder why?) we continue to bow down to the big 6 type clubs and let them walk all over lesser teams when a superstar comes along. I feel so depressed that with having a really effective Academy, we are just breeding players who wont remain at Palace, due to the the greed that is the Premier League. Weve only just started to enjoy Michael's talent, and struggling to stay in the PL this season, due to little backup as such.
I absolutely abhore the biggest clubs who plunder as they like and its just about the money. Shame on you Parish to let down the fans so you can pad out your pockets. Where is our NEW Stadium, in all this`Im just sick of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Players salaries, running costs, ground maintenance, policing bill, utilities, loan repayments, etc

Who said that we are selling a major asset ? Pure media speculation given that the transfer window is open and Olise’s garnered some headlines recently.

Where does the money go ? Well the last set of accounts showed Palace running at a loss of around £25m . Your suggestion that Parish benefits from selling players is totally ludicrous as well as being without foundation.

The top clubs do have things their way, that’s largely true. But you might want to recall that last summer Parish repelled a bid from Chelsea for Olise and indeed got him to sign a new contract. I suspect you have chosen to ignore that.

If you had even a basic understanding of how football works you would understand that if the Academy is truly successful then it is a means of generating income . If we can develop an Eze or Olise ourselves and sell them on for significant fees that go towards the bottom line then Palace become more financially sustainable.

As for the “ new stadium “ which is actually a new stand, it’s clearly been a more difficult job than anticipated. Building in a residential area presents many challenges.

The Premier League isn’t difficult to fall out of love with. It’s far from a level playing field financially. In the circumstances Palace have done well to stay in it for as long as they have .
