Crystal Palace’s future hinges on the outcome of tonight’s game against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Administrators have admitted they are not “awash” with cash and are holding a meeting on Thursday to see how long the club can survive before a buyer is found.
Accountants are desperately trying to find a buyer for the beleguered club before the £800,000-a-month wage bills force it to shut down.
Despite selling Victor Moses for £2.5m, it can only expect to see £1m immediately as the Football League is owed about £1m in transfer fees.
If the Eagle’s win tonight’s match they could receive up to £750,000 in ticket sales, cup prize money and television rights helping them survive longer.
Brendan Guilfoyle, from P&A Partnership, said a prospective buyer had not yet come forward, although there had been interest.
The club will be formally advertised for sale in the Financial Times later this week.
Mr Guilfoyle said: “On Thursday we will see how long we can keep going if we don’t get a buyer. History tells me someone always pops up.”
Croydon North MP Andrew Pelling said he had spoken to Lloyds bank the administrators of Selhurst Park.
Mr Pelling who has started a petition among fans showing support for the club said: “Lloyds tried to stop administration from happening.
