Crystal Palace fans will be have heartened by the win against Peterborough yesterday which took them away from the relegation zone, but the situation surrounding the Championship club following its entry into administration is complex as this interesting report demonstrates. It may take some time for the situation to be resolved. In Palace’s favour as a far as a prospective buyer is concerned is a place in the Championship and a stadium in a well populated area of South London.
Crystal Palace fans will be have heartened by the win against Peterborough yesterday which took them away from the relegation zone, but the situation surrounding the Championship club following its entry into administration is complex as this interesting report demonstrates. It may take some time for the situation to be resolved. In Palace’s favour as a far as a prospective buyer is concerned is a place in the Championship and a stadium in a well populated area of South London. There are five Premiership clubs north of the River Thames, but none south of it, although Charlton, Palace and the old Wimbledon have all played at that level. An interesting opportunity does, therefore, exist at Palace but it needs a good buisness model and someone with sufficient cash and an interest in football. There are not many buyers are out there at the moment which is why there has been an interest in a possible continuing role for Simon Jordan or even a return of Ron Noades in some capacity, a role he has indicated he would be willing to undertake.
