How Tony Bloom spent £274 million on the Albion

[El Presidente]

He's managed to claw £20 million back from player sales, but since taking over in 2009, Sir Tony of Bloomshire, before the start of the season, has spent £159 million on the stadium, training ground and other facilities, £25 million on players, and £89 million subsidising the losses made by the club as follows: (and I know the figures are slightly imperfect)

Wow.

Thanks, Tony.

You made a post a couple of years back saying Palace are worth about 230 million because they are in the Premier league. What about us now ?

So that's £2.3M in Palace terms then?

£25M on players... Newcastle spent double that in the summer transfer window..

As a fan, we alll want Tony Bllom to receive a return on his investment but will he ask or accept it. The risk for him would be a lack of investment in players needed to establish ourselves? 3-5 yrs in the EPL would lead to the debt being repaid. Will be interesting to see what happens.

I hope he makes a good whack on the proposed idea deal.

He won't get his money back.

This season I anticipate losses (after paying bonuses) in excess of £40 million.

The club will benefit by at least £100 million next season IF we make the Premier League, but the average wage bill there is £111 m compared to £23 m in the Championship. Add in the extra spent on players, and we will be doing well to break even in the EPL.

Newcastle made a profit though. They sold Sissoko, Wijnaldum and Townsend for £66 million combined alone and there were other cash sales.

Are you suggesting we sell Knockaert, Dunk & March?

Certainly not!

I never said they didn't, was just pointing out the amount they spent in the window in comparison..

 

[Stat Brother]

Certainly not!

Thing is though if we do, and off-load Hughton as well, we won't have to go through the inevitable Ranieriesque punch in the guts when it eventually does go horribly wrong.


The more I think about it, the more I think YOU Guiness Boy are right.
Cash in now.

I'm always right. Surely NSC understands this by now?

That's settled then.

YOU want to sell Knockaert, Dunk, March & Hughton.

To Palace.. For a tenner. *ducks*

Thanks for this, it really gives an insight into the finances of football clubs. Which premier teams model should we look to emulate, going to take a wild stab in the dark and say not Crystal Palace.

I like graphs, phanks,

This really show how much he wants it this season.

Look at the increases in blue and red lines in 2016, gulp.

How Tony Bloom spent £274 million on the Albion

I think that's highly unlikely, given that he was only worth £50m to start with.
