Where did you get the figure of £5 million from? Palace owed Lloyds bank around £12.5 million and HMRC were trying to liquidate the club for the sum of £2.75 millon. You owed close on £5 million in wages to the players who had not been paid. The action of Agilo forcing the club into admin for the the £4.7 million owed to them, saved the club from liquidation by the HRMC. Total administration debt, I believe, was close to £32.7 million. All this after failing to pay your debts and going into administration ONLY ten years earlier.
But we are WORSE...cant you see that?
