Owner of Palace (Steve Parish) says:
"You’ve pretty much got to spend everything on the playing side or you run an even bigger risk of relegation. It’s impossible not to spend almost all your turnover on the playing side if you want to compete. Sometimes you’re smarter and get a good player for less, but other times you have to pay. It’s the nature of the beast, really.”
And that goes to the recruitment issue; if you feel you *should* spend 100mill then you will probably do so. Certainly no fans of middling sides want to see 'profits', because spending that extra money would (in the fans' eyes) have always made a positive difference.
