Just look at Fulham & Norwich over the last 5 years and the samecwill.happen this season , the premshit is the only business that reward teams that are shite with millions of pounds for 3 years I but if you go back up it all starts again , teams like ours just cannot complete on the money side that's why 9 times out of 10 we get outbid when going for a player of lose players because of wages

That’s true, but if we were to gain promotion this season, even 1 year in the Prem will probably net the club something like £140M!
Invest that wisely on a few new players and get a second promotion, (Fulham and Bournemouth have been doing this for a few years now), get relegated again and gain a further £140M!
If nothing else, a couple of seasons getting promoted/relegated will set the club up financially. The trick is, to eventually survive a 2nd season in the Prem and kick on, as Palace have been able to do. For some strange reason, Fulham and Bournemouth haven’t learned that trick yet!
