Pretty much all that was told back in OCTOBER 2012. The great Zaha talk up - to save Palace's season
All the Palace fans came on the thread saying it will never happen. Hmmmm.
"The great Zaha talk up - to save Palace's season
You may recall sometime ago I posted what I'd heard from a friend of one of the Palace owners.
Well I spoke to him again yesterday and it really is amazing what the club are now doing.
The new owners have been totally shocked by the state of the club in terms of how difficult it is to run it on a break even position. Went into it in all innocence thinking that they could get to break even by using better marketing.
They are predicting a £5million loss for this season with attendances down on their expectations.
They have apparently told Freedman that Zaha must be sold in January and that anything over £8million he will get to reinvest in the squad. Hence the current poster and talking up Zaha generally. If they sell him for less than £8million they are f***ed for this season.
No investment in players unless they cash in on him and no investment in the summer unless they can get income levels up significantly."
