To address the original question - it depends what you mean by 'established'. I'm assuming that the OP doesn't think we are 'established' and many others seem to agree, largely based on the money we don't spend in the transfer market. To get a bit of historical perspective I thought I'd throw a few facts into the arena. Palace are the 10th longest surviving member of the top division, last playing in the second tier in 2013. Here's a list of the clubs which have been there longer with the year they last played in the second tier: Arsenal 1915 So in terms of establishment, we're not doing too badly but it's pretty obvious that apart from the big 6 plus Everton there's quite a lot of churn. Basically you need quite a lot of money to guarantee staying in the top division - well beyond anything we are likely to have. So the reality is any match against a team outside those 7 is a relegation 6-pointer - enjoy the ride folks!

Palace are more established in the PL, than , let's say Charlton, Blackburn (ex-champs), or numerous other clubs that have risen, then fallen. Now there is an analogy that I can work with!

There are only about 5 'established premier league clubs' in existence. All are financial giants. To answer the question of the op. I would add that there are some very big clubs down in the championship , so when we finish a prem season on 43 points this eagle is glad all over.

1. Ground and facilities - agreed Selhurst is officially a dump - agreed, our Prem squads have only been just about good enough. Until we have a proper stadium and training facilities we will always have a small club mentality.

I agree that only the normal top 6 plus Everton, can only really be classed as established (though Everton almost came undone in the 90s). Yes, the others can come and go but the problem is leaving the PL. You have no idea when will be back. You could be back within a season or two (ie. Fulham and West Brom). But you could easily descend the leagues like Blackburn, Leeds, Portsmouth etc. Leeds have only just got back after something like 18 years. If Palace were to get relegated, I would not expect them back in the PL anytime soon. Infact, I would be more worried of cascading down the divisions.

Lots of crying about about players getting paid too much then crying when paying too much then for Benteke and Sakho and others then the same people crying because we try to get a bargain and don’t pay over the odds. Make your minds up. What do you lot want?

Please name the young talent that has been brought in by DoF at bargain basement prices. I can't recall any Ferguson was a free Originally posted by jeeagles
Everyone supporting Roy is judging him on his past performance (at Palace - not anywhere else) and saying we can keep him. Finding a decent chairman is harder than finding a decent striker or manager. It's easy for fans to critise by just saying that Parish should spend more money. It's much easier spend other peoples money that your own. They should be judged over a number of years, not just one or two seasons. He's taken the club from around 40th ish in the country to 15th ish, consistently with a small ground and low revenue. Burnley are the only club in with less rescources than us that consistently finish higher. He's made mistakes, and generally come clean about them, taking on accountability. Hodgson always seems to have an excuse. We went up with Cardiff, Hull, and Watford. Their chairmen all threw money at the club and look were they are now. Over a 10 year period we have consistently been run more efficiently and sustainably than pretty much any club of our size. Throw Brighton, QPR, Fulham, Newcastle, Leeds etc into the same mix, more backing, less success. Meanwhile, we now have CAT 1 academy and a DoF who seems to be bringing in young tallent for the future at bargin basement prices games. Some more food for thought, with 1 point and 3 goals in 8 games, any other manager would have been sacked. Parish seems to be sticking with him, yet the people who support Hodgson are blaming Parish for everything. Without a patient chairman who puts the long term future of the club above anything, Hodgeson wouldn't be here.

In many ways this makes me feel worse; 10th most established top league club but we've won sweet FA! Originally posted by roman eagle

I think we were a very well run Championship club that had a competitive first eleven a not much on the bench.

Its worth also pointing out that Southampton and Man City are technically below us as they have occupied the third tier of English football far more recently than Palace
