We have a complex share and management structure that I’m not sure any outsider really understands.
Our shareholders clearly have no interest in publicly sharing the detail.
However, SP has successfullly maintained a very good position in the league for his tenure and continues to do so. However it works , it does.
With Hodgson back any Palace fan has got to be happy not only at our results but also our football.

Just to add to everyone else's commentary on the diatribe(obviously pointed and misplaced at SP.) of input about the stand situation. Simon Jordan has mentioned a variety of times how much of complicated situation (to put it nicely) it is/was, to try and expand Selhurst.

I would've thought it was also part of talks when the shareholders became shareholders. In the recent interview with G.Neville, Parish states he has a good relationship with the American duo and how fanatical they are about football. I doubt the pocket change (for them) is the stumbling block when it comes to expansion and adding to their investment.

On the subject of reasons we won’t build new stand, have we just got permission to build new stand?

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

The original post completely ignores that the Club actually generates revenue. Revenue is from a number of sources and expenses go to a number of sources.

So, transfer fees can come from shareholders, selling players, other items (shirt sales, ticket sales, etc.) or from debt.

The way the club has been largely run is to take out a modest amount of debt, sell some % of the existing ownership, and sell a few players. But, this has (in large part) been done responsibly, not by selling the entire ownership or by taking out massive debts.

As for the stadium, people are correct here stating that it can't be built until all the required permissions and permits have been approved. The academy is basically brand new, as that was slightly less ambitious and probably easier to receive permits for. The stadium rebuild will almost certainly be largely paid for by debt, but hopefully will pay for itself over time with larger ticket sales, better high-end facilities, etc.

It's a lot of words, but I think it is interesting to consider whether the ownership structure and relative desire and ability from our investor base to put up risk capital (for loads of things) is problematic

If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

and that debt will be more expensive as the base rate keeps being increased. Whatever the original payback period was estimated at, i would potentially double it now
