Football Clubs News | Football Finance News

Brendan Guilfoyle, the man appointed as administrator at Crystal Palace, has insisted that a buyer will be found for the struggling Championship outfit.

Neil Warnock's side were in contention for a playoff spot before receiving a ten-point penalty for entering administration, which leaves them just above the relegation zone.

However, Mr Guilfoyle has claimed that the club remains an "attractive proposition" for investors.

In the programme for the FA Cup fourth-round clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers at Selhurst Park tonight (February 2nd), he said: "We have an excellent manager, play in a good stadium, we have a superb and loyal set of fans and a good name."

Crystal Palace's financial problems led to teenage star Victor Moses joining Wigan Athletic on Monday, with the south London club receiving a fee of about £2.5 million for the winger.

Mr Guilfoyle had asked Warnock not to select Moses for the recent games against Newcastle United and Peterborough United in order to protect his transfer to the English Premier League side.
