Hello and welcome to the Price of Football, the show that looks at the money behind the

beautiful game with me Kevin Day. I live for University's Kirin McGuire. Kirin, I'm glad

that the method we record on means that we can't actually see each other because I imagine

you woke up with the same self-satisfied smog smile that you were asleep with last night

after that remarkable performance against Liverpool. Just call me the Cheshire Cat, Kevin.

That's how I'm looking today. I'm irritatingly cheerful at the best of times, but wow,

you know, 50 years of watching it, best overall, 90 minutes performance. I'm still pinching

myself. And fair play to Jürgen Klopp and fair play to all the Liverpool fans who spoke

to after the match. They were no excuses. We'll take it. If you support a club like ours

or yours, you do have these moments, you do have these periods of time and make the

most of everything. That's what I always say to fans because ultimately you're trying

to beat gravity in terms of the money in the game and we know that's why we have this

show, but we're doing okay at present. Well, talking of my club, Kiran and the money

in the game, Palace is off to Stanford Bridge this afternoon for an inevitable bit of charitable

work in an attempt to keep Graham Potter in a job by losing to Chelsea. But many people

this week, Kiran, I don't particularly know why it's been driven this week in particular.

I was trying not to use a particular toy circuit, but I failed spectacularly. I'm disappointed

with myself. But a lot of people have been asking, especially on social media, about the

amount of money that Chelsea have spent on players and how they're still able to stay

within FFP regulations while doing so.

Yeah, I think it is an intriguing one because we've seen that Manchester United are signing

a player from, effectively from Burnley on loan because of financial fair play considerations.
