Originally posted by PatrickA There’s an interview in today’s Evening Standard with Parish where he says he is not looking to sell his stake in the club, but he is looking for additional outside investment. It’s back to the old quandary; can the club find new investors who are prepared to leave Parish in control of the day to day running of the club, although no doubt they would have a big say in the deployment of the finances. I don't think that's the problem as it's more likely to be his shareholding that's the issue as billionaires won't want to inject hundreds of millions into a football club (or indeed any company) unless they had 100% ownership

[Link] The 54-year-old embarked on a three-year plan in the summer, one which holds the £20million development of their academy site at its heart, as well as the £100m redevelopment of Selhurst Park. In order to fund such commitments, Parish is open about the potential for external investment, though any deal is unlikely to see him sell his 18 per cent share.

Give it a few days, and a different reporter's byline, and we should get a pretty clear view from Parish's side about what's going on. They must have asked and why shouldn't he leak it? I'm going to guess that the yanks are being bought out but Parish will take further dilution in return for a bigger spending commitment. If you want to live in a world full of kindness, respect and love, try to show these qualities.

The club has been approached by a number of parties in the last 6 months, it's like everything else though, it has to be right for the club and the people wanting to get out. These things never happen straight away but those approaching the club have serious money; whether they will inject some of that in the club is where SP is doing right by us all by ensuring his due diligence (as far as promised investment is concerned) is a sound as can be before agreements are then entered into.

alffy 29 Nov 19 5.58pm
Let's all be honest, Parish can't do what he keeps telling us he's going to do with the club. He simply can't afford to upgrade Selhurst or invest what we need to in the team. He can say he wants outside investment but if he's not willing to step aside that's unlikely to happen. No one is going to invest £100 millions into a club and not have control of it. He'll never leave because he loves the limelight too much. So he's either yanking our chains to keep us happy and off his back or he's deluded.

With Roy now publicly stating it is the American investors who are preventing us from signing players [Link] we have to really hope we can kick them out of the club and find investors who want to help the club move forward. Roy is working miracles really while clubs in and around us (even Newcastle) continue to spend.

Hardly a case of kicking them out when they want out ! The questions that you should be considering is why Steve Parish has failed to attract any alternative investors and why Harris and Blitzer have been unable to sell their share of the club All valid points but I just find it hard to take to see our football club being hurt by investors who have no interest in the wellbeing of the club other than to line their pockets. I understand the questioning of Parish, but at least he actually cares what happens to our club. It seems what we need is someone looking to buy into a club as something to enjoy and be part of, rather than as a business interest (albeit that may be fanciful thinking) such as appears to be the case at clubs like Everton. F*** the Americans.

Roy has made his feelings clear, so why has Parish not prioritised actively seeking out new investors. While we have owners who by Roy's own words don't want to go into the transfer market, we will never improve or move forward. You could see Roy was fuming in the press conference after the game.
