Probably, but also we spent an entire season without an RB, Myko at LB, McNeil out wide and the chuckle brothers taking turns up top.

So probably not really a surprise we didn't capitalise.

We still have a very decent spine picks Jake and Jared good options in midfield and two average enough strikers need 2 full backs a pacy finisher and Hackney those changes would transform us if Moyes changes mindset a bit

Very true but them were decisions we made

Palace lost Eze and then Guehi in January. Glasner made it clear there were short on numbers going into the season.

Has Glasner had to build a squad over the last two seasons to pick up three trophies?

Sunderland, based upon their underlying numbers, should have finished 18th this season - if they don't trade considerably well, and have a similarly huge overperformance/amount of luck that they had this season, then I suspect they'll run a similar course to West Ham or Leicester.

Two additional cups for Palace, essentially due to winning the FA Cup on the back of Eze on a 3 game streak, lets not overcook it. Wigan won a cup once too.

Eze and Olise, almost all profit at over €120m. Only Gordon goes close to that sort of profit for us unless you go back a decade. That should say something about what we've had to do to our squad. Their squad is still valued at 25% higher than ours. Palace.

They've also spent about 80m more than we've had the capacity to in the time Glasner has been there, and they certainly haven't had the purge we had to have including the 3 seasons previous - the 5th largest in world football at the time.

They've been sailing along and have bought quite well in Sarr, Wharton and Lacroix, despite losing those 3 headline players that Glasner was perhaps lucky to have in his team when he arrived. (Crazy the way those sales unfolded, I empathise with Glasner)

Palace have spent the last dozen or so years in the league never finishing outside 10th and 15th. Ho hum. We've had one of the craziest of uncontrolled financial and sporting roller-coaster rides (mainly downwards) a club could possibly have over the same time period.

And if what is being said is true, we have only just hit the bottom. There were critical payments apparently due going into this season, hopefully this summer we'll enter a rebuilding phase proper.

I'm a fan of Glasner, I actually see him as 60/40 as my preference over Moyes, if I had a choice. I admire his ways but am also conscious of what we lose as well in that hypothetical transaction. It's unlikely anyway.

Last time Porto guy kept a team up he was sacked with them rock bottom part way in to the following season. They're likely losing Anderson and MGW too.

I wouldn't take anything as granted for them next season.

He lost his 3 best players though and they bought poorly. The rest of the squad was dump.

Forest squad is light years ahead of Wolves. They'll be mid table at worst next season, they looked good towards the end of this season.

They're losing their 2 best players at the very least this summer so kinda history repeating itself.

Maybe they'll be fine but a team that finished 16th, will lose their best players, and have manager who had a team bottom in an almost identical situation doesn't really seem like a given that they'll finish above us next season.

”I don’t know if a club like Everton now if we can make big huge strides but we see how well the likes of Bournemouth and Brentford are doing, so there’s no reason why we all shouldn’t have those ambitions to try and at least match those clubs and how they go about it.” - David Moyes

That’s the spirit Davey, let’s go all out with the ambition. I don’t know why I bother

Sack please before it’s too late

More delusional shite from a fella who is only here for one last pay day.

Seriously thinking if just sacking it off and taking my boy to watch Cardiff City as he’s getting more and more into football. It’s not worth the journey there and back these days for the same passive shite

It's depressing isn't it. It's a fair old trek for me and my son too, we love going to games, but I'm struggling to motivate to go whilst he's in charge.
I haven't even bothered renewing my membership, partly as it's a rip off, partly it's not an enjoyable day travelling that far only to watch the away team try to play football and win the game

I can't imagine too many turning up for the start of next season full of optimism and cheer like.

Setting the bar high before the season starts

I’m sure that’ll persuade our transfer targets to come though

We are just incredible losers. The whole club seems to be just about plodding on.

Weve cornered the market for never relegated but never good. The rest have haf great highs and lows or just dominance and weve just existed

The manager, the players, the guy from Leeds who was delightfully disappointed or whatever he said. Just a bunch of losers.

I think if he'd said Bournemouth and Brighton I'd have been like 'fair enough'.

We aren't capable of competing for top 5, we just don't have the finances. Even teams who've struggled like Spurs can just throw money at it, same with Chelsea... Spurs are apparently trying to sign Tonali for £100m, and he's just one of many signings for fees we could only dream of.

Why oh why he's used Brentford as an example when they didn't even finish in Europe is absolutely baffling though!
