I doubt most of them even know what's going on in their own street! Some people are like Slinkies … not really good for anything, but you can’t help smiling when you see one tumble down the stairs.

The Americans have no known affinity with Palace and it is unlikely that they would have made their original investment if Palace were in the Championship. In the event that Palace go down the nature of their ‘long term’ investment will be tested. Would they throw their resources at getting Palace straight back or would they seek to get out and restrict losses or change the executive set up? Something would clearly have to change, but hopefully we won’t have to find out as Palace will have stayed up.

Originally posted by Ginger Pubic Wig If you mean me, here is my logic (and I never once said they spunked anything): Parish was abundantly clear that the Americans drove the Benteke purchase and that he himself struggled with their thinking. (He didn't blame them, he merely reported the process and said it was a departure for him with where Palace had come from). Now, if he found 30m on a (at the time still-well-regarded) striker hard to fathom, why would he suddenly be leading the charge for a 25m defender with a questionable injury record? I think the Americans saw the difference Sakho made and thought 'yeah, let's have some of that'. It is purely speculative and my opinion (about Sakho, not Benteke - which I think was patently an Americans' signing). This said, I too believe they ring fenced investment for the stadium and that it's still there. I reckon it was a precondition of their involvement. Why waste our time and yours writing this rubbish No substance at all COYP Edited by Ginger Pubic Wig (01 Mar 2018 6.00pm) Where is the Joker shown, I haven't used it ?

01CPFC there is loads of substance to the fact Benteke was a Harris/US signing. [Link] The speculative part is Sakho. But with 3 major shareholders why assume Parish led the decision to get him? Especially when the profile is very much like Benteke-- a very expensive signing from a top club that doesn't fit our previous activity. And learn some basic manners.

Thanks for the link GPW. Gives us a bit more insight into how the shareholders operate. So the 4 members of CPFC2010 sold a load of shares and trousered the profit. Steve Parish stayed on as Chairman and now seemingly lacks overall control. I do wonder if the American shareholders really understand Soccer-ball, . . . I disengage, I turn the page.

Unless SP bought a lot of those shares, that means the Americans have a majority shareholding ? And if you read the link , SP admitted he was marginalised for the Benteke signing. Check the link, because SP is quoted in it I disengage, I turn the page.
