I think you are most likely correct; however, before Textor came in presumably Harris/Blitzer had the opportunity to buy the club outright and chose not to. I wonder what, if anything, has changed their minds and, within a couple of years, made CPFC a more attractive proposition?

I struggle to see who else will buy them if they cant do something about the voting rights that go with them, who would want to pay for 45% of the clubs shares & only get 25% voting rights ? Seems like an in house deal is the only way to go - otherwise surely if you wanted to own a bit of a football club there are better prospects out there than that deal? Originally posted by NEILLO

Edited by dreamwaverider (14 Jan 2024 1.36pm) Good post. There’s also the unknown of a potential European / Arab Super League in the future and the big clubs breaking away, which would dumb-down the whole value of the EPL, and could see top championship clubs forming a new PL along with Palace Fulham etc. Why pay a fortune for any EPL club outside the big boys when the future format of English football could change dramatically

I have no idea how these things work, but our current squad is valued at more than £200m alone I would imagine? Is that factored in? Even conservatively Olise, Eze and Guehi are probably valued at £150-200m just for those three alone.

Don't get me wrong, I think that given Harris is a known quantity, I wouldn't be adverse to him buying Textor out.

We our playing terrible football to watch we have an ageing manager and some players .We are not playing progressive football and basically treading water.I know be careful what you wish for but hopefully someone or consortium will take a punt and actually have a plan and invest .. No

If memory serves me correct, Harris and Blitzer were open to off loading their own shares in Palace even if it meant taking a hit when Chelsea and United were up for sale so as they could buy into eiher as part of a consortium. I dont think they have any interest in increasing their shares in Palace if thats the case , If they did they could have bought Textors shares before him .

In order to preserve the value of their investment they will of they see it is needed want change. With Parish having the influence he has he can block that. This makes us in many ways a less attractive proposition. But as Parish saved the club last century he is to many across the fan base untouchable.

Yes , i must say i have always been a Parish fanboy but am definitely moving in the other direction now , im beginning to think he he holding the club back . I think its ridiculous that he owns 10 percent of the club and has an equal vote as someone that has 45 percent of the club .
