When Eagles Dare - answered: Steve Parish and the CPFC 2010 consortium
The first episode of When Eagles Dare takes a look back at the years before the 2012/13 season when the club was on the brink of being liquidated in 2010.
Crystal Palace were placed into administration on January 27th, midway through the 2009/10 Championship season, which meant a 10-point deduction and the club being thrown into a relegation fight in the remaining months of the campaign.
The Eagles fought right up until the final week of the season, where they faced Sheffield Wednesday in a crucial match that would ultimately decide their fate. A win or draw would save Palace, whereas defeat would keep Wednesday up instead.
