His salary is a bit of an oddity as he takes a large salary but puts it back into the company which I find rather silly as he will pay a huge amount of income tax on a salary that he hasn't drawn whereas it would have been more cost effective to just not draw the salary in the first place. I'm guessing that he does this rather than dig deep into his pockets to match the investment by the Americans. The interesting thing is that his large remuneration is listed in the accounts as a bonus. I wonder what that bonus is for? It can't be for keeping us in the Premiership as Roy did that and it can't be for making profits as the company made a huge loss It’s for having tighter suit trousers than teenagers in skinny jeans at Palace. It’s quite an achievement. Seriously, it’s tor the number of media appearances. Vital for us.

Me a bit shocked really! Living in the promised land of PL and such a Heavy debt. Is it the end if we get relegated? Thinking of Benteke that has cost us around 40 mill. and gives almost zero in Return. Get rid of and start upgrading Our academy players - give one or two game time. They are the future. Throw them in deep water - lift the fans and saving money for a more healthy account.
We won't be able to turn off our massive outgoings like a tap if we're relegated. Those players who are readily saleable won't achieve their true value in a fire sale and we have plenty of others who are costing us dearly, but will be difficult to shift. We all know, from past experience, that when we drop a division 10k+ 'loyal' supporters disappear as will generous sponsors, so our income will drop dramatically, not withstanding parachute payments. If we are ever going to progress as a club we need to stay in the PL and start improving the infrastructure. We need owners who are able and prepared to invest up front in this, with an eye to the long-term and not to make a quick buck. I hate to say it, but what we need is to find a Palace-loving equivalent of Tony Bloom

It'll be the end of any major investment in the club and most likely the departure of the US 'investors', who will have been sharing the cost of our loses. I think that they have been putting in more than their share as it seems that Parish has been voting himself a large bonus then not taking it which is counted as increasing his investment in the company even though no cash has been put in so it's all smoke and mirrors

How much have we or are we ‘losing’ each year? It’s expected that the sales of AWB and possibly Wilf or both is planned to address several issues. Debts, squad balance, never making anything on Wilf which you could argue is worth making by selling him rather than him never leaving if he’s replaced and since his anonymous form this season. These are all traditional methods for a club of our size unfortunately. Hopefully we can decide more on when these things happen rather than have them decided for us. According to the linked blog, we have lost £3.7 million over the last 6 years. Even if we loose another

IMHO the solution, at least to some degree, lies in making wise decisions around buying - mistakes like Benteke and Meyer (on 125k per week!!) - and having the courage to blood new players like Kirby sooner than later. Other clubs manage to buy relatively cheaply and do really well. How about Wolves and all those Portugese players? We need a more imaginative, bold approach from management and a better scouting crew. I KNOW we can stop the losses in these ways but does SP et al have the balls to do it? Kirby has been on the bench most of the time for Blackpool.Only started in 2 out of his 7 games.He did start on Saturday at Luton and scored but he was withdrawn after 68 mins.

Wolves are part owned by Jorge Mendes a football super agent with access to many top European players, who just seem to turn up at his club.

Has anyone else read the price of football review and done the first letter thing on each sentence? What it spells out surely can't be a coincidence can it? remarkable if it is. It certainly can’t be a coincidence. Some people ars soooo bright it beggars belief. That is soooo cool.

Just been announced that because of coronavirus, companies can apply for an additional 3 months to file accounts. No doubt CPFC will be among the first to request an extension! Originally posted by Midlands Eagle
