Just declare bankruptcy and reform as Crystal Palace 2020: without vision
In a time when we hear figures of 100k, 200k per week as seemingly average wages for top premier league players* (and 300+K for Sanchez), it feels like 800k across 25 premier league players (avg 32k) is a not a lot.

Not wanting to burden you with a lot of work, do you happen to have readily available a handy chart that puts it more in context of wages across the board, rather than as a standalone figure (e.g. a table of weekly wages by club) and/or a reminder of how that compares to their income
(*I accept that palace don't really have a lot of top players, (or simply players on top player wages, in the case of Benteke). Take Benteke and Zaha out of that, and it's what? 550k over the other 23 players (avg 24k)? I also accept these are, in comparison to 'the working man' or 'us in the real world', all obscenely large figures.)

The once a decade phoenix of CPFC is on track...
Paul Barber told us recently that The Albion will report a loss when our figures come out soon. He said it was due to us not cashing in on our best players.
Still seems incredible when £150m from the premier league is still not enough.
But that's the point about the mirage that is the Premier League isn't it? Sure membership is worth £120m + pa to clubs but then you have to spunk similar amounts to just get to the base line of competitiveness.
