In all honestly Parish is the right man to run the club. Dont get me wrong. He isn't perfect. He makes mistakes. Even as recently as the last transfer window and the ongoing never ending Main Stand which never gets built. But....If I were a billionaire and I'd come in, bought out Harris, Blitzer and Textor and could not be arsed to run the club day to day but wanted it run with best intentions, primarily kept in the division but also with aspirations to push up the table and chase a cup run I think the club would do a lot worse than to nestle in the hands of a life long fan such as Parish who wants nothing but success for the club and his salary bonus relying upon it.
Textor buying Everton? / Bids to buy Palace outright

BBS are reporting that one of the "Palace" fans fronting Sportbank is actually a failed businessman who has changed his name. Worse there is speculation about other unsavoury aspects of his life which if true we do not want this individual anywhere near our club.
Clickbait journalists love giving us rubbish and speculation, perhaps they could do us fans a favour, and do some proper investigating and reporting about the 2 front men. Who are they what is their track record and do any of these serious allegations relate to them or is it just an unfortunate coincidence (similar name).

I saw that and concur with your post. However we must have faith that the other owners will be conducting their own due diligence.
Yup
Of course this could be false information or simply mistaken identity, either way we need a responsible journo to get to the bottom of it.
Quite a common name so could be all incorrect. Let’s hope one way or the other, this whole saga is sorted asap

US-Saudi group enter exclusivity agreement for John Textor’s shares of Crystal Palace - Get French Football News
According to a report from The Athletic, a group of US and Saudi Arabian individuals have entered into an exclusivity agreement with Olympique Lyonnais owner

In fairness, the 2 in this group are US educated and US based so I am not really sure what links they have to the actual big pot of money the saudi royals have

I think all Saudi money is bad unless it’s invested in your team and then it’s all good

What is more scarey is that this might be a financial device for letting Rextor back in to take overall control. Toxic.
I don't have an issue with any one from any country owning a club as long as its not the nation state government owning the club themselves, that just shouldn't of been allowed. (City will probably get off on their charges due to geo political reasons and lobbying from the UAE government etc)
Lets face it, are any wealthy individual squeaky clean.
As long as they dont whack ticket prices up and sell the clubs soul

Yes we do not want a Ratcliffe style event. He’s whacked up prices to £66, removed concessions, sacked staff just before Xmas and stopped the annual £40k donation to the former players benevolent fund. Much as I enjoy seeing Man Utd falling apart the way he’s started running the club is abysmal

Absolutely. It would be hilarious if they went down. Sadly they probably have enough to be mid table. Still extraordinary they spent so much money on the likes of Casemiro, Anthony and Hojlund only to discover they are absolutely dreadful
I think the Sportsbank deal has this as the more likely outcome
Compared to what Radcliffe is doing, they were a gift from heaven 🤣

There are some disturbing rumours about the 2 front men for Sportsbank I just hope a responsible journalist looks into them and clarifies them.
Not sure whether they will still have to pass the FA's fit and proper test as they are owners from a distance or whether Parish and Co can stop them.
I will make one prediction. I don't expect £230m to come our way more likely Lyon will be the beneficiaries.
