What's the connection between Abramovich and this American billionaire other than the fact they're both, well, billionaires?
Plenty of people are against the idea but it's becoming virtually impossible to compete season by season at PL level without some significant financial backing.
I've no idea where Josh Harris' money comes from but I'd hazard a guess that it's not as dirty as old Roman's.
Shame Josh Harris doesn't like spending any then.....

And by Christ you need cheering up . I'm surprised you lot haven't been all over this story but you're pre occupied ATM . I don't know how I feel about it tbh , nervous and apprehensive I would say . It would be interesting to have a billionaire as a owner ( just like you ) .
I'm struggling to see how Palace being taken over by a billionaire is supposed to cheer us up, tbh?
I'l tell you what DID raise a smile though - MotD on Saturday night!
I watched, as ever without knowing the scores. Palace are 2-0 up away and cruising.
Then Zaha gets CHOPPED in the box 5 yards from the ref who waves play on. #chuckle.
Then someone elbows Speroni in the HEAD, and the ref says 'that's all fine. Goal stands'. 2-1 #chuckle
Then some other Palace chap gets POLE-AXED, 'play on' - West Brom into the box, whereupon chiefpr1ck Jedink chops down a striker, for a pen. Goal 2-2. #hahaha
Warnock blah blah blah, sob sob.
THAT cheered me up.
(A bit)
This. I'm surprised there hasn't been a poll about which of the three Palace misfortunes pleased you more. Close between Zahaha getting his comeuppance for so much previous diving and Jedinak chucking away two precious points in injury time...I'm struggling to see how Palace being taken over by a billionaire is supposed to cheer us up, tbh?

Yeah I know, only 1 point per game so far….

Abit more than you atm
Hmmmm. Interesting read. However Tony Bloom is a 3rd generation Albion fan, so the comparison ends there.
Is Harris a well known Palace fan? What does he know about Soccer? Can he name any Palace players? - is he able to inject the sort of investment you need to secure your Prem future? - and maybe build a worthy stadium? - or just another foreign billionaire looking to squeeze some dosh out of the Premier League?
I guess it must seem attractive to Parish. Having enjoyed the Prem cash windfall CPFC2010 would be yet another very significant step beyond having to dig into their personal pockets.
What do the fans think? Most football fans would be apprehensive at seeing their club in such hands. I guess some might not care. How do you feel about it?
Oh Dougie, like shooting fish in a barrel. I didn't think you'd fall for it because I actually quoted you with the set up post!
If you say so .
What, say we don't do irony with one post, then be ironic with the next! Yeah, difficult one to spot that…..
