Unless they don't play, then the loan club must pay 50% of players wages.

Is that how they are funding their new stadium?

Tbf I think this is a good move by CPFC. The lower league managers have complained that the loan fee from Prem teams prices them out of their players.
Players need the game time to develop so begrudgingly I think this is a good move.

It’s a new stand. Not a stadium.

Whilst I think it is a good move on paper, I think in reality it’s really hard to guarantee a player will start every game. What if he is playing really badly, his attitude is wrong, late for training etc, that is going to piss the other players off rapidly and create problems.

Seems a perfectly sensible idea to me. Just because it's Palarse, I can't see a problem.
OK, you've spotted a problem! Still think it's a reasonable idea from the Palace point of view though. What else can you do with players on a decent wage that are on your wage bill that you don't really want (cough........Towell, Schelotto....)?

Exactly. Guaranteeing players games removes their motivation and gives them no idea of how competitive real football is.

That doesn't guarentee any games though and a properly run club would have to budget to be paying the 50% for the length of the loan. It just insentivies them to be played. I thought that kind of thing was fairly common tbh.
Given the club in question, I do wonder if they will forget to put a clause in about how much playing time though and we could see the players brought on for 30 seconds of injury time at the end of a few games purely to save money.
