My point is Palace could easily afford LB. As could any Prem club. It seems Bannan has put paid to any interest in LB thou. Like it or not, promotion was worth a minimum of £120m (that's just the Sky money, not all the extra income the prem brings). This gives Prem clubs financial muscle when dealing with Championship clubs (but not other prem clubs).
It also brings in larger running costs.
Your squad was probably 24 players before the start of the panic buying season. Add the 14 you have signed this window, probably all on minimum 3 year deals, thatwill be some wage bill.
Yes you will get more Sky money, but with you ramshackle hovel sold out you will only have about 18-21 thousand max, and the running costs, more stewards, twice as many Met Police etc, and then there is the ground improvements that will have to be met.
I can see you going pop again in the near future when you get relegated.
