Crystal Palace have been dealt a terrible blow after they were today entered into administration. This means they will suffer the accompanying 10 point deduction and will drop from ninth position- two points off the play-offs, to 20th on 27 points. If Reading win at Sheffield United tonight, the Eagles who have failed to pay their players on two occasions this season will be within just one point of the relegation zone.
This decision by administrators P and A Partnership, has benefits for Barnsley as it lifts them up to 15th in the Championship and means they could go up to 13th if they beat Leicester at Oakwell tonight.
