Call me naive but I would not be co completely happy with any old random rich person. It might be sad but I'm proud we were saved by fans and they had the connection to the club (local done good), the Americans are meh, but if it was say a corrupt russian or someone I'm not interested. Everything city have achieved is off the back of essentially random chance (like winning the lottery) and funded extremely dodgily. I can't see palace suddenly transforming into champions league winners as doing anything other than change the club from what it is. Get there with graft and care if you can but I'm not after winning the PL off the back of a s u g er daddy cos it is fundamentally a rigged game now.

I don't mind as long term it's either a rich sugar daddy or the Championship and I prefer the former

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.

agreed it would be a bad thing but that is the situation - the club is worth a lot more money because of those two long term contracts and the US owners may want to get their hands on that money one way or the other

currently the increased value of Wilf and Aaron is money that is in the club.

That value could be brought back to the shareholders by selling them in the summer.

But if there was resistance to selling them, say by Parish, that might upset the American shareholders

So instead they sell their shares to someone else who is potentially more hostile and will attempt to remove Steve Parish and do as they please to get a quick return on their money.

An unlikely scenario but as Harris and Blitzer are experienced sports investors and don't see any future return on continuing to invest - particularly in the new stand - then what are the prospects of finding someone who buys in [literally] to Parish's ideas for the club?

The big money overseas investors who just chuck their money at football like its FIFA 2019 usually want to have their fun running the club not ceding control to a minority shareholder like Parish.

The current value of the club probably means we won't get Browett / Hoskins buying back in to restore the original CPFC 2010 - which would be the nicest option.

it is probably also worth mentioning that Parish has been very clear the club has always been up for sale - or at least the owners would always entertain serious offers for the club

it's just that none of the offers really got serious - except for the rumours of the £200m Chinese buy out a while back

perhaps this just indicates the US owners have given up doing a deal behind closed doors and have lost patience so are pushing the issue to get out more quickly

they will make a profit - perhaps not as much as they wanted (in order to attract buyers) - and that will take money out of the club

the new buyer may buy those US shares using big expensive loans that the new owners want to push onto the club - the Glazer strategy

in comparison a random billionaire who has taken leave of their senses buying into a club isn't such a bad option

reading back my posts they sound a bit alarmist - sorry - this could be a good thing for the club!

as far as I know Blitzer and Harris each own 18% each and were supposed to have put in £50m

but the actual control of the holding company in Delaware is a bit of a mystery

Why? If there is a sale the equity remains the same.

Told you so.

It was obvious that the Americans were looking to sell.

No spending in the windows and the new stand on the horizon.
Let's hope that new investors will have more ambition in the football department and not just in to make a quick buck.
