• Squad urged to find sponsorship in order to cover annual fees
• Demand came as Wilfried Zaha gets £130,000 a week contract
Players from Crystal Palace Ladies have been told they face not being able to represent the club any longer if they cannot each raise £250 in sponsorship, or put up the money themselves.
The onus has been put on the women’s senior squad to source the money to pay for annual subscription fees. It has caused anger among some senior figures in the women’s game who feel it sends out an unhelpful message about the importance of female players to the club.
