Hate to say it but Palace are now our example. Good nucleus, few talented kids, motivating manager, good slice of Lady Luck. We have the first three in place. We need a Murray and Lady Luck. Easy peasy.
Still the same shit team that was bottom at the end of September. Zaha is over-rated. Murray is still an average Championship Striker who gets lucky. Holloway is all talk. They will get too big for their boots and end up where we were 2 years ago.
Try to see past your bias and look at the facts. Doubt they will stay up but the money they make by even one season in the EPL will secure their finances for a very long time. They are now in a position that we aspire to from being in a relegation scrap just 18 months ago. Yes they have had luck but they have a good board now with a manager who has been round the block a few times so knows the score. They have already signed Gayle who will not need to be sold off even if they are relegated. A few more astute signings like that and they will be in a very good position to take the club forward again. I hate it but its true.

They are probably on a very similar path to the one we were on in the summer of 2008. If they do well they will go down this season and may well walk the league in 2014/15 and cement a five year plus stay in the Premier League.
I hate it but the truth is that they are now the Charlton of the late 90s, early 00s and we are the Palace of the same period.

Brighton have got a lot to answer for!
