It will be just our luck that a massive company wants to buy us out but we get relegated so they move on. I can see it happening. It would be exactly like our transfers, "we tried to make it happen, but we couldn't get it over the line". Are we destined to be forever the bridesmaid and the ugly one at that.

I've just had a brief look into it. The Perth Glory thing will likely happen - still needs approval. However, LFE have a goal of reaching funding of 350 mil US dollars. They do not currently have anywhere near that. Regardless of anything else, they just wouldn't have the equity to buy Palace without being considerably in debt. On that grounds, they may want Palace but doesn't look like they could ever afford the club.

Red and Blue Army!

One thing we don’t want and Parish wouldn’t do is sell us to someone financing it on debt. Not sure how that would Pano out if they bought the US owner shares and Delaware or everything apart from Parish’s 18% and whatever others of the original other 3 of 2010 still own, or if anyone would really want to buy us using debt, however,

there could be scope to do that if you actually did redevelop the stadium and sold it on as a tip top Prem club, because that is the only way you could make money out of Palace, not from annual sales and profit because we aren’t global or have any other notable revenue streams apart from Tv money, which immediately goes on player costs to stay in the division (the other corporate revenue and profit is where we need to get to but we aren’t carrying through the vanity project plans)

What would concern me regarding our longer term future is if we ever did get to the stage of being fully developed then the scope to sell on at a profit goes, and to an extent so does the financial security for potential owners or buyers, but I may never see that day in my lifetime with us playing in front of either the current wh lane end or arfur for decades to come so I shouldn’t worry about it. We’ll be playing hoverball in the sky in an overpopulated Britain living on mushrooms and insects by then probably.

I know very little about financial matters but it does seem these are the sort of owners we do not want, unfortunately if they have the cash available the US owners will not worry. How much clout will SP have in the sale?

This smacks of a 'Goldberg' & deffo Jordan Disaster

I wouldn't mind us being a Redbull club though
