Crystal Palace 1992β93 football season
During the 1992β93 English football season,
Crystal Palace F.C. competed in the inaugural season of the
FA Premier League .
Season summary
A breakaway by the top 22 clubs saw Palace become founder members of the new
FA Premier League for the
1992β93 season . However, they would be without the services of another key player β Mark Bright β 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 4β3 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 .
