I made this comment to Watford fan, last season. He pointed out that they had sold Richarlison for £40m.I know we've made massive investments in 21st century infrastructure which Palace haven't, playing in a crumbling shit hole.
But (and this is not a criticism), I do wonder how our rival, of roughly similar league standing (they get a few million more), of broadly similar gates -and you'd assume similar matchday income....... Are able to afford these 100kpw salaries and we clearly can't.
I'd actually guess, that in normal times, we would make a fair bit more in non match day income from the facilities at the Amex compared to that dump?
I'm not advocating spending more, 100k is obscene, I'm glad we don't, but I do wonder how palace of broadly similar size and standing can do it, and we in theory can't?
Is it our stadium payments to Bloom or just a choice (but we could if we wanted too)?
Palace sold Wan Bissaka for £50m last season.
I guess those 2 clubs rely on transfer fees received to pay higher wages.
