If we cannot score and a budget of £10 mil or 50 pence do you think we’ll survive? You are supposing that we will sign better players than we have which will be difficult if we need the AWB money to pay the bills. Which way do you want it?

Well if we’re losing £35 mil per year then some bills need paying. This discussion could go on until August. We haven’t sold many in 7 seasons by we’ve spent shed loads. You prefer to ignore that. Fair enough. I’m tempted to stay at home like you, but because Roy’s football is boring, not because I think we’ll be relegated. Good night.

We made a profit before player trading. We made a loss in 17/18 because we bought and didn’t sell and had changes in manager. I really think the financial state of the club is being blown out of all proportion.

I really think the financial state of the club is being blown out of all proportion. The manager compensation costs are a few million tops, and the pills and Allardyce compensation packages absorb Pardew and FDB’s. You’ve just said because we bought and didn’t sell, which means we have to sell to have a budget then, and seeing as our net spend last season was kouyate at £10 mil I think it backs that up. I’v been a harsh critic of Parish but believing that we can continue with the player costs we have, including £30 mil players and players on £100-130k with the revenue we have and and an attendance revenue in the relegation zone I think some need to get real. The errors have been made in previous windows and with poor scouting and thinking we didn’t need cover and then inevitably spend more anyway in January. Edited by Rudi Hedman (29 Jun 2019 12.06am)

It's a bad deal all around. Parish wanted £60m. We got £45m + £5m AWB was on £10k is now on £80k but most players signed for over m are on £200k. Walker at Man City, Benteke, Sakho even Cabaye was on more when we got him for £10m. AWB is a pretty poor wage deal considering. Man United are the winners. Parish backed down, AWB accepted less than he deserved. That's my summary. That's one of the major bones of contention on this thread. I think the club needed to generate funds. AWB was fairly passive in all this really. I got the impression that he was quite happy to do another year with Palace ( he was reported as saying as much ) until it looked as if Palace were willing to sell. Then he said he was in favour of moving and negotiations got serious at that point. As for his wages, who cares what he will earn - not our business. But if he does well I expect him to get a pay rise anyway. offered improved terms

Supporters like you are enabling the board to do what they want. Many of our fans have no ambition and that allows this club to act accordingly. Imagine if some other clubs sold their two best players in one season. There would be mayhem. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (28 Jun 2019 7.44pm) And what do you propose to do to stop the board doing what they want then ? My guess is sweet F.A. You did mention giving up your season ticket - good, there's a waiting list for them so you have the chance to make someone happy. You talk about a lack of ambition - ok, would you care to share what you think Palace should be aiming for and how you think they can achieve it ?

The BBC report that the deal is £50m with a sell-on fee and yet neither club has announced it which appears strange to me.

I don't think that many of us will deny that being a Palace supporter is currently a bit depressing at the moment. One of our two best players has left and the other one wants to. Who wants to come to Palace who is going to improve the team? I'm waiting for some news to cheer me up. I know Punch has gone but Jairo might stay. There is still hope.

Next season is all now about survival, if we keep Wilf and all the rest of the players and don't sign anyone except a couple of loans we will be mid table, sell him we will struggle to survive, right back and striker loaned is what is needed. This time this year is a different situation, Sell Wilf then, sell Sakho and Benteke off the books no high earners left and plenty of options and money to rebuild. Tekkers ain’t going anywhere he is running down his contract which has 1 year to run, then he goes on a free. The team was struggling up until January, we already had a depleted squad. Selling more players will put us in a worse position. I think the last good transfer window was when we signed Milo and PVA...

Have you seen the club's financial accounts? Our team definitely needed strengthening and we appeared to be brassic so now we can strengthen and end up with a better all round team. Whether we will actually spend the money wisely is another question though
