I see Josh Harris is right up there in the top 10 with a net worth of £3.5 billion. Why the hell is he not leading us to the top with some meaty cash injection?

Rich people tend to get rich and stay rich by not pouring money into a money pit. He is getting his pound of flesh out of the club and that is one of the many reasons why we are financially up the creek.

TBF not sure there is any evidence to suggest he is taking money from the club, but I may be wrong. Why he invested initially is another question.

So if Josh Harris has no intention of putting money into the club and doesn’t seek to take money out apart from getting his money back, what was his prime objective and motive. Surely these questions need to be answered, or am I being obtuse here?

An interesting topic and welcome distraction from wfh. I guess this is prompted by the Saudi takeover of the Toon. Does any other Palace fan feel grateful we are not majority owned by a sadistic, misogonistic, theocracy? Harris can keep his additional dosh - he's not a benefactor but a business man. Unless you find one with very, very deep pockets you're skating on thin ice. Personally I want the club to be run as a business by decent people. The yanks (who are minority shareholders) maybe private equity types, so hardly pristine but far better than some of the alternatives in my view.
