Seven questions facing Crystal Palace after a summer of change | OneFootball

Crystal Palace start September with optimism checked by seven concerns spanning player sales, ownership and performances.

Per TheEaglesBeak.com, Harris, Blitzer and Johnson’s 79% stake is with Raine Group at a valuation above £1 billion, tied to Main Stand funding.

Speculation persists over Adam Wharton’s future, yet he was not called up this window and still has three years left. Palace should target £100 million or more if next summer’s bids emerge.

Pierre Sage’s early return reads one win, three defeats and 11 conceded in four, the 3-2 over Fulham a smash-and-grab. With JPM and Sarr absent and Disasi suspended, defensive stability is urgent.

Demolition at Wooderson Close finally shows movement on the Main Stand, though financing remains a knife-edge call for Steve Parish. Supporters want clear video updates of genuine progress.

Europe is a step up, the group’s average Euro Club Index is 93 versus 201 last year, and Palace at 27 should still fancy top spot. That is hope not certainty, with Sage new to Europe and rotation pivotal. Evann Guessand has been left out of the European squad.

A hectic window, 10 in and 17 out, brought strong fees for Lacroix and Muñoz and the key retention of Dean Henderson. Interest in Sarr and Mateta could return in January, so sourcing goals must start early. The possible loss of the Holmesdale Fanatics would also hurt the club’s pulse.
