# Crystal Palace: Fans react to financial report

**Plenty of Crystal Palace fans have been giving their thoughts on the club’s financial accounts, [posted by football finance expert Kieran Maguire on Twitter](https://twitter.com/kieranmaguire/status/1380809219100839936?s=21) over the weekend.**

Maguire [shared the document](https://twitter.com/kieranmaguire/status/1380809219100839936?s=21) on Saturday morning just hours prior to the club’s [4-1](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56622156) defeat at home to Thomas Tuchel’s Chelsea. The major talking points in the accounts running from June 2019 to July 2020 were a [£58m loss](https://twitter.com/kieranmaguire/status/1380809219100839936?s=21) and [93% of the income going on wages](https://twitter.com/kieranmaguire/status/1380809219100839936?s=21).

Palace have [12 players out of contract in the summer](https://theathletic.co.uk/2286520/2020/12/31/crystal-palace-contracts-hodgson/), as well as [manager Roy Hodgson](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roy-hodgson/profil/trainer/1775), and it seems as if a huge club rebuild will get the green light over the coming months. Reports elsewhere recently have [linked](https://www.90min.com/posts/wilfried-zaha-arsenal-radar-crystal-palace-transfer-summer-2021) Wilfried Zaha with a move to Arsenal, whereas [The Telegraph](https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/04/01/crystal-palace-plot-50m-summer-spending-spree-manager-will/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2021/04/01/crystal-palace-plot-50m-summer-spending-spree-manager-will/) claimed that the Eagles could go on a £50m summer spending spree.

**“We’re gonna have to let every person out of contract walk, no way we should be putting 90% of our income on wages alone”**

**“What makes the high wages worse is the fact that we’ve got one of the oldest squads in the league (depreciating assets) & some of the high earners haven’t contributed nowhere near the level they make. Summer couldn’t come sooner.”**

**“Should’ve put the players on furlough for those 3 months of lockdown last year and got the taxpayers to pay them. Parish missed a trick here”**
