Our ownership seems rubbish, quite frankly. We need someone who wants to flash the cash

Red and Blue Army!

I'd far rather support the club than some Americans trying to make a profit or some guy trying to make a footballing empire with us not at the top of it.

Red and Blue Army!

So, from what I understand ;

1. The 2010 consortium as a group were not in it for the long haul
2. When the other three members decided to sell their shares, Parish needed to find not just replacements but people willing to further invest in the club.
3. A caveat to any prospective investors was that Parish would remain in charge of running the club.
4. Plenty of offers were forthcoming but only Harris and Blitzer were identified as being suitable. Even then Parish had to win them back after they initially cooled in their interest.
5. Harris and Blitzer were reported to want to sell their shares some years back, pre Textor and Chelsea sale days.
6. Textor is not unique in owning a portfolio of clubs, but how he intends to make it work remains to be seen. The only tangible events have been the loans of O'Brien and Plange to his Belgian club.

Clarity that I would like is ;

1. I thought the Harris and Blitzer original £100m investment had been ' ring fenced ' for stadium development - that seems to have dropped off the radar ;

2. If there are indeed any benefits in being part of Textor's Eagle Group.

Old, Ungifted and White

Perhaps this explains why he is so keen on us taking the new Brazilian 18yo superstar that apparently all the top clubs in Europe want to sign?

Or is it a case of him trying to flog an over hyped asset to a bunch of mugs so he can pay the wage bill.

I hope I am wrong on all of this but I did warn this type of thing might happen.

One more point

Interesting seeing Textor pushing a player - Warnock faced it all his life from Directors/Owners telling him whom he WILL get & not get !

Directors are pushing money around clubs in this manner could it be considered as Laundering in some way or Dumping in another ? It’s all about Trading right

Just in football a director can own a number of clubs under a number of businesses & his co investors & non execs - Very dirty business going on in the scheme of things
where sooner or later that a law suit will be slapped on a poor deal.

Then it will snow ball into a book & a movie / documentary- Footballs house of cards like FIFA & government deals

Let’s see Harris Textor Blitzer the there amigos pants down

Forever Palace Proud

Im far from convinced about one person or company, owning a whole load of different football clubs. FIFA should be having a close look at what is developing.It is not allowed at National level and globally the sport is constantly coming closer together. How would it be if Palace come up against Lyonnais in Europe for instance. Definite clash of interest in my opinion. Textor has a 40% share in Palace.
Group ownership of clubs could get messy. Lack of wages news coming from Botafago. Not good.
Our American investors Harris and Blitzer are considering a move for Liverpool so they would have to sell their stake in Palace.
I am not sure where Textor is heading now. Are there funds available for Palace in the transfer window?.
