Good win. Palace hard to break down as expected in the end. Atmosphere was a bit muted, probably because of the performance and the cold weather.

Well how does holding out in the hope a billionaire owner comes in and buys world class players help them. At least this way they won't be overtaken by clubs that have not spent as long cultivating their youth team and making slow but steady progress up the league. They won't have to watch as wages get inflated by an influx of outside money into the game and struggle to pay those wages.

What chance have the.little club got otherwise, champions league money has squewed things significantly meaning clubs don't grow organically, they stagnate and become feeder clubs.

They don't have any chance unless they win the owner lottery. There is less incentive to build up organically when they can spend years doing so only to be overtaken by a club that has even more money than Champions League qualification can bring. Tottenham and Everton are two clubs that would probably have Champions League football by now...
