You’re very own El Pres is probably better placed to explain the detail to you but, in layman’s terms, we spent hugely on a couple of players which worked in so far as we are still playing in the Premier League but has tied our hands financially going forward.

You ask where is all our money going from the EPL? Its wages.

It is covered on the podcast [MENTION=31]El Presidente[/MENTION] does with Kevin Day, who is not only a Palace fan, but quite close to the board. Palace paid BIG wages to a few new players some year back (Benteke being one) and this led to the rest of the team demanding wage increases. Add to the the increases given to Zaha, plus the Premier League wage cap, that's now been removed, Palace needed to balance their books, hence the sale of Wan-Bissaka and the lack of expensive purchases.

It was money well spent though.

This is going to take a long time to listen too.

Had to stop 1:30 secs in, I'll try and get back to that later.
"We tested Kepa a couple of times, in the first half" has finished me off.


Anyhoo:-

Is anyone looking forward to the next Albion game and Potterball?

He picked the wrong team if he wants to get into the industry

The fact some of them think “Roy’s done well with what he’s got” is even better. He is an absolute FRAUD of a football manager. Liverpool fans sussed him in about a month. I hope he stays there for years.

It's all very confusing Shirley you're either worth £100,000+ a week or you're not.

Another game, another chance blown for Zaha to show everyone he's the £100m player he thinks he is.

A bit obvious, but its going to end in tears isn't it?

He's not putting in a shift. Beaky must be pleased that his plan turned out so well.

Had TalkShite’s commentary on the radio as I drove into work this afternoon. Particularly enjoyed when Zaha’s performance was described as “disastrous”. Normally their hyperbole annoys me but in this instance it made me feel all warm inside.

From Holmesdale.net...

“Wilf could never shoot or cross the ball, he doesn't have any real footballing ability.

The one thing he can do is miraculously beat players with the ball making him a threat, by far his greatest contribution is winning penalties. The reason no big clubs will come in for him however is that this is all too often smoke and mirrors without any end product.

He's not even doing that anymore and is prone to sulking whinging and moaning so his stock is plummeting.

We'd be lucky to get £30million for him at this rate.”

It’s been awhile coming but it seems like the penny could finally be dropping.

He was shocking today and looks so moody and unhappy and just wants to moan all the time !

Look at that squad though. So uninspiring. They’re in tenth. He’s polishing turds all over the park there.
