1992–93 season of Crystal Palace
Crystal Palace 1992–93 football season
During the 1992–93 English football season, Crystal Palace F.C. competed in the inaugural season of the FA Premier League .
Season summary [ edit ] A breakaway by the top 22 clubs saw Palace become founder members of the new FA Premier League for the 1992–93 season . However, they would be without the services of another key player – Mark Bright – who was sold to Sheffield Wednesday and the Eagles struggled to score goals without him. They were demoted on goal difference, after Oldham Athletic 's 4–3 victory over Southampton.[1] Palace's 49 points from 42 games that season became the joint-highest total of any club ever to have been relegated from the top flight of English football, and remains a Premier League record. Palace's drop prompted the resignation of manager Steve Coppell after nine years at the helm, and he was succeeded by his assistant Alan Smith .
