Squad rift with Eagles stars furious over vast wage gaps?

Quote:

Crystal Palace’s crisis has been deepened by a bitter dressing room rift. Mirror Sport can reveal there is major resentment within the squad over the vast differences in contracts within the squad. The split has emerged as the club have slipped into relegation trouble and they have yet to win a Premier League game in 2016, and it could undermine the club’s fight for survival. Palace players like Dwight Gayle and Yannick Bolasie are fed-up that team mates are on much bigger money. Bolasie has been one of Palace’s top players but is earning a fraction of the club’s best paid players, even compared to Connor Wickham who earns £55,000-a-week. Their contracts are dwarfed by Yohan Cabaye who is on £80,000-a-week and Palace are paying £70,000-a-week towards Emmanuel Adebayor’s £100,000-a-week contract with former club Tottenham picking up the rest. There is no animosity towards Palace boss Alan Pardew who still has the respect of the dressing room despite the club’s disastrous run of 13 games without a win in the Premier League.
