Lot of assumption in there.

Firstly Palace have been in the Prem longer than us now, have a known manager and had a strong second half of the season last year.
Considerably more attractive than us, and with better resources. We all have the same TV money don't forget, they'll have last seasons position payments that we don't have pluc backers with more wedge than ours.
Also - London beats Norwich in most circumstances when people are considering where to live (they are idiots Obv).

Secondly BAFC are arguably the richest club in the world. Their main backer reportedly has more money than Roman. We have no financial advantage over them, in fact we are at a significant disadvantage.
Also they are situated near to some very affluent areas of the country that adds to their appeal, the whole Sandbanks area etc.

Thirdly you assume they?ve been beating us to players, how do we know AN was after any of their signings in the first place?
