Steve Parish insists Crystal Palace can win the Premier League by 2030 and emulate the success enjoyed by giants Chelsea and Manchester City.

Chelsea and City have flourished in the wake of mass investment from abroad, allowing the two clubs to drastically increase their spending on transfers.

And while domestic and European success may seem a long way off for Palace, Parish believes investment from David Blitzer and Josh Harris – the co-owners of the Philadelphia 76ers and the New Jersey Devils – can lead to similar results.

Parish told the Sun on Sunday: "I'm not saying this investment will see us lift the title next season but in 10 to 15 years we can win the Premier League.

"I remember watching us play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in 1995 in the Premier League and the gate was 14,130.

"Ten years later they won the title and have gone on to win the Premier League four times, become European champions and grown into one of the world's biggest clubs. They're even now planning to increase their stadium capacity to 60,000.

"Look at Manchester City too. They were in English football's third tier in 1999. Yet 13 years later they were Premier League champions playing in a new stadium.

"We can't match the money these clubs are paying now but must get into a position where we also can go for the title. What's the point of being in the game if you're not trying to win things?

"It might not be with this ownership group. We may just progress it enough for someone else to take it further."

The South Londoners have enjoyed an upturn in results since Alan Pardew took over the club and managed to finish in the top half of the Premier League last season despite occupying a relegation spot at one stage.
