Ian Royal Maquisard Row Z Royal Working for free until the end of the season, steering the ship until they're out of administration.
So, we paid Steve so much while he was in charge of RFC that he can now afford to manage CP for free... *facepalm*
He was a player at top flight level and an international and has amassed over a 1000 games as a manager. At least 3 seasons of which were in the top flight. Of course he's got plenty of money.And for Palace (and maybe us) it's conceivable (just about) he'd take a short term contract on low money to help the team out if he thought it would be good for him and good for the club.
I forget, when was a top flight player again? I assume it was in the days that they were paid £100,000 a week? And, he retired at 27. But he's rolling in it.
That being said, it's not inconceivable as he does still love the club, and Simon Jordan (who he wouldn't work under) isn't there anymore. But, would he want to go with the chance of relegation? Remember, he won't be able to add to the squad (even if there were money to do so) and speaking to a Palace fan at work yesterday he feels they've just not got the quality anymore.
