Time to start doing Business Steve..!!

We are in the “green zone” Mate..!!

Crystal Palace​

Loss limit: £90m | Status: Clean

• With £65.3m in losses over the past two years but substantial allowable cost deductions, Palace are well within bounds. They’ve also generated £38.7m from sales (Olise, Andersen, Johnstone) post-June 2024. No reason for concern here.
• Good balance between income and cost control.

Should that not be £88.7m in sales?

Few journos now reporting that El Khannouss' relegation clause has expired so instead of £22m Leicester now want £30m!

So, if we do being in El Khannouss, it'll cost us £8m more which is ironically how much below Eze's release clause Spurs are offering.

Meanwhile Tzolis at Brugge has extended his contract and they've sold other players (2 to Brighton and Sunderland) so they've shut up shop. First rumours today of Palace looking at Hwang-Hee Chang on a loan which as cover... fine but he is not a replacement.

It's Christmas Eve and we're hoping the petrol station has a turkey.

We’ll get that Turkey but it will be frozen and get food poisoning

Wolves fans are certainly looking to get shot of him: which, in their circumstances, is a concern

From memory decent season 23/24 but otherwise average at best. If was a loan in addition to a signing then ok

Mate - what fines are you going on about - as I mentioned before we are nowhere near breaching PSR.

The whole Europe thing as others have said has no bearing on available transfer funds - difference in revenue is marginal compared to current transfer costs/dealings.

Why are we waiting for players to leave before we do any deals - if we do that other teams will know we are desperate and just push the price up..!!

Based upon this window - the club is not well run and the model is not sustainable - we’ve gone backwards and are now in a race against time to get us back up to parity - at best - even then we’re probably going to have to pay well over the odds - because we’ve left our business too late again..!!

Get the nostalgia - I was born down Holmesdale Road, my first game we were in the old 3rd Division Rachid Harkouk and George Graham - team of the 80’s just emerging under Venables..!!

But we are no longer that team/club and we’ve got to get rid of that small team mentality..!!

I am not talking about fines on us! Fines on those clubs who do break the rules and just factor them in as part of the costs.

Parish has hinted that we have a difficult financial position at the moment, caused either by the need to pay instalments of past transfers or the repayment of debt. We don’t know if the sale of Textor’s shares to Johnson included the debt or whether that now needs repaying.

We aren’t awash with funds and whilst theoretically we could borrow short term if we know a sale is guaranteed and its value. The problem is they are never guaranteed until the medical is complete and the contract signed. Buying on credit before we sell is not our way. Overextending our debt is what gets clubs into problems.

As a long term fan you have witnessed the mess that Goldberg, and then Jordan, got us into. Do you seriously want those days back?

Its all very easy to solve, don't sell Eze

Maybe Kin Jong un maybe better, got plenty of attack, and a head made for corners

Where’s your figures and workings? And last I heard we were losing a lot of millions every year. We’ve reduced the wage bill but nowhere near the amount we were losing. Just interested what calculations you have…

Might be wrong but dont clubs intentionally run at a loss ? Being in debt they get far better interest rates. Utd, Liverpool, Tottenham arsenal, Chelsea, all in massive debt.

They're doing a good job of getting further into debt.

Plus Isn't that the whole point of PSR, if you're not close to breaching it, then you must be financially fine.

Seems a cavalier attitude. There's an unreal element to all the money in football where they all owe millions to each other and it just gets shoveled around without actually appearing anywhere. Surely there's a tipping point where it all falls apart.
