If you look at the clubs with English owners it's Newcastle: Mike Ashley has a grim record with corporate governance Norwich: Delia is no stranger to a half time bottle or two. Stoke; Effectively Bet365 West Ham: Owned by a bunch of dildo salesmen. West Brom: Currently up for sale.

Just as well I don't support a Scottish club then.

Agreed, even as a Palace fan I suspect you'd prefer us to go up and renew the rivalry, as much as you want us to lose every game.

That's fair enough, it can save you some hassle. The Glazer's have shown they have nothing but contempt for the fans. Whilst SAF was delivering trophies the fans were happy to be shafted, not so sure they continue to feel that way....

Still more likely to find the back of the net than we were last season with COG and Colunga up front.

Certainly don't care, you just have to look at the United Cup auto-renewal scheme for that. Regardless of the competition or the desire of the fan to attend, United STH's have their bank accounts automatically emptied every time they are drawn at home in the cup. Exeter in the third round of...

I agree with you that is what the overseas fans will want, but even the vultures at the PL will struggle to justify United and Liverpool playing 7-8 games a season overseas whilst the more provincial clubs play none.

Agreed, Scudamore is desperate for a '39th game' hosted overseas. Problem is overseas fans only believe there are 4-5 teams in the PL. Whether people in Singapore or Dubai will be willing to watch Palace v Sunderland on a Monday night in their own country is debatable. The regular fans of...

With Palace now having significant American ownership, and Everton potentially going the same way in a £225 million deal, we could have very shortly the following foreign investment in the Premier League United: American City: Abu Dhabi Arsenal: American/Ukranian Bournemouth: Russian/American...

. Parish has just been on Five Live, said he's running the club on day to day basis but all decisions have to be agreed between the three 'partners'.

You, me and anyone else who loves their club?

Depends on two things 1: How much spare cash he has (my understanding is that there is plenty). 2: What terms any new investor would want in terms of a stake in a club. How much would someone be prepared to pay for a minority investment in a business that loses £10-15 million a year? Under...

I don't think Parish wants a return necessarily, he's a fan and wants the club to do well on the park, just as you and I would do if we had spare cash. Tony Bloom isn't expecting to get money from the Albion, he just wants to see us promoted. The Americans have no such emotional relationship...

Indeed, not as well off as they were when a club, whose name I have forgotten, gifted them the striker who scored 30 goals in a season on a Bosman transfer, and in doing so have given them about £150 million to date.

If the owners are all fans, then it doesn't matter whether one of them has deep pockets or they collectively a worth a fortune and are willing to spend it. I'm not saying this because it's Palace, but the motives behind the new owners is the issue that you should be concerned about as much as...

I read it as 16.45 million shares being the new total, including the old shares, but I may be wrong.

Difficult to work out exactly what is taking place, but IF Palace have issued the full allotment of new shares to the Americans then they will have 65% of the company if my calculations are correct. This has come through on the Companies House website in the last few minutes.

If I was a Palace fan (which of course I thank my lucky stars is not the case), I would be a bit concerned about the status of the new 'partnership' that is being set up to run the club. Is it going to be an LLP,? Where is it going to be registered? Are the owners going to be transparent in...

That's because the alternative was to allow the players to leave, it was a business decision.

Which was a very splendid gesture, but Liebherr was worth in the region of £3 billion, unlike Parish and co.
