1998–99 Crystal Palace F.C. season

Terry Venables was appointed head coach, but the dream of success for the 1998–99 season quickly turned into a nightmare. Goldberg was unable to sustain his financial backing of the club and they went into administration in March 1999.{{cite web|title =1993–2000 PROMOTION TO ADMINISTRATION|url =https://www.cpfc.co.uk/news/2013/june/1993-2000-promotion-to-administration/|date =1 June 2013|publisher =Crystal Palace FC Official Website|access-date = 8 December 2014}} Simon Paterson took charge of the club throughout a spell in which it's very future seemed in serious doubt.

Venables stood down as manager and after some negotiation over his outstanding contract, left the club.{{cite web|title=Venables stands down|url=http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Venables+stands+down.-a060486971|publisher=Coventry Evening Telegraph|date=16 January 1999|access-date=30 April 2012}} In January 1999, Steve Coppell returned to the job once again, and was able to guide Palace to a mid-table finish. With the approval of the administrators, Peter Morley was installed as chairman, in time for the start of the next season.
