Where we are today we are touching top global levels of team soccer.
We have got a fantastic young squad that badly needs securing and adding a couple or three faces to.
Our home although enjoying a fantastic atmosphere is not fit for purpose. Look at the new Tottenham ground to see where the future lies.
The only way CP will sell is to a seriously ambitious investor who wants to create something very special. A stones throw away is a delapidated gold mine with the same name as our club.
With deep pockets, there are more than a few investors who would be excited by something this huge.
An unbelievable new Crystal Palace. An unbelievable modern day stadium, incorporating a top premier club, hotel, shopping centre, great train links to Gatwick and central london. Masses of parking
The opportunity is off the scale. For the right investors with a couple of billion at their disposal we will be on for a dreamy future.

same old Palace, once we get close to making the step up we get a nosebleed - with the stadium as it is we will only tread water in the medium term, squad's in good shape now but we won't hang on to this team and we may yo yo again or relegation might put us in Charlton territory, most of the clubs of our size have had their days in the sun, Pompey, Charlton, Ipswich, QPR, a sustained run of being a genuinely top side seems to be beyond this club, if we don't choose to grow we will shrink, upgrading the ground would not be a white elephant though if the debts incurred do present a risk

make your own minds up but what we have seems quite different to the vision, I can't see any improvement in the ground at all, none.

Don't blame investors making profit and exiting but let's not dress it up as something else.

SP talked before about having a responsibility for the stewardship of the club and would only ever sell to people who he considered to be the right kind blah blah blah

 


Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

That article was four years old

The American article that I read said that the Americans wanted to sell their stake which if true probably won't be that easy to do.

Most billionaires that want a Premiership football club want all of it not just a significant stake which means that Parish has to be willing to sell his stake too and I'm not too sure that he is despite his original protestations that he was an unwilling purchasor

I don't think think it's realistic to expect the Americans to have too much interest in the Stewardship and long term interests of the club of the future buyer.

They want to cash out. The big valuations on Wilf and Aaron will mean they should make a big profit on their 'investment' - though I think they have had their loans repaid so I am not really sure they have sunk any money into the club.

Makes it clear why the ground has been put on hold and transfer activity reduced to almost zero. Will get the accounts looking in much better shape when they come out at the end of the month (maybe!)

After a struggle it looks like the club will be in quite good shape this summer. I suppose the question future investors will ask them is 'if it is going ok then why are you selling?'

I wonder if the answer is that English football is not what they thought but actually if it was because of their relationship with Parish was troubled and there was a conflict on the future of the club.

Perhaps because SP was protecting the interests of the supporters? Likely we will never know for sure

Fingers crossed we get a good buyer who wants success and not an asset stripper.

Calm down, guys.

According to Bloomberg yesterday, Harris and Blitzer are looking to sell the club.

But as the Americans owns somewhat less than 50% of the shares - Parish and his three 2010 mates still have more than 60% - the Americans cannot sell the club.

What they can - and may - do is to sell their shares.

Bloomberg is a business version of Daily Mail - not worth spending a sec on.

That would be a very bad thing for us. I’m not sure if they’re allowed to do that anyway, unless it’s agreed by all shareholders and 2010 have a veto anyway. They’ll be selling their shares, not dictating the decisions within the club, thank god. Maybe not being able to decide de when they cash in is part of why they want out but not the main reason.

Parish etc don’t own more than the Americans, but you’re right on it being a sale of their shares, not THE CLUB.

Anyone got the shareholder percentages?

No because the ultimate holding company is in Delaware where secrecy rules
