Jordan, who bought Palace out of administration in 2000, says he has grown disillusioned with the game and the final straw was the recent decision of a Football League transfer tribunal to award the club only £700,000 following 16-year-old John Bostock's move to Tottenham.

Jordan said: "Without a shadow of a doubt, this is my last year. I've taken the club as far as I can. I am not demotivated by the team, manager or fans. But I have been disillusioned with football for a long time."

He added: "It's my specific intention to find a buyer this season. I will do nothing to affect manager Neil Warnock and I will be absolutely committed to the club and I will find a responsible buyer.

"I kept my sanity by pumping millions of pounds into my academy, feeling the saving grace of my club was finding players who would be chomping at the bit and honoured to play in the first team.

"But that's been taken away from me as well. Bostock was one of the best players my academy has produced in the last 10 years - and he has been sold for a packet of crisps."
