That run of appointments through to Fat Sam (I guess Hodgson’s two stints can be included) must be the most “impressive” list of totally unoriginal managerial appointments by any PL club, probably including the 90s when most managers were of a similar ilk of being British and playing regressive 4-4-2 football. Back then the average lifespan was probably more than a season and a half.
As I heard on a podcast earlier, it is astonishing that Mark Hughes has never managed Palace!

I get pissed off when we lose and they win (although that’s pretty rare), seeing us do what we’re doing must be hurting. A lot.
Especially having had the upper hand over us for something in region of 25 years.

Seeing us disrupting the big 6 and qualifying for Europe, all whilst turning a large profit to enable continued investment must be horrendous, especially as the best-case scenario for them is to continue treading water in the lower half of the PL doing just enough to survive year after year.

The only point I take with that video, where Simon Jordan says Tony Bloom has spent 400 million to get Brighton where we are in comparison to Palace. He says that no-one at Palace has that amount to spend to reach a similar level to us.

He failed to point out that a significant amount of that 400 million was spent on our stadium and training facilities. Jordan says that whilst in the Premier League Palace have only spent approx 340 million. He indicated 9 years at an average of 30 million and one year 70 million on players.

Well quite.

Also most of that 400 million was spent to get to the Prem and stay up.
Effectively getting to the level that Palace had already achieved.

But Palace have spent significant sums on cladding, that has to be considered

He also failed to point out the huge amount of wages that Palace have spent on journeyman PL footballers, which, i would hazard a guess is where the vast majority of their money has gone.

I can’t remember his name( that’s how much of an impression he made) but, the German wunderkinder they got on a free, and then paid him £120,000 a week, is the kind of signing we would never make.

The guys name was Maximilian Meyer. According to the Sun he was on £170,000 a week.

I'd like to hear from @El Presidente about our overall spend (is it £400m) and how much was on facilities/the rest. And how much Palace have spent by comparison.

Pretty please El P
