The US economy shrank in Q1 2025 due to Trump's tariffs and trade policies, having grown by a promising 2% in the previous quarter. There is a good chance the US economy will enter recession in the next quarter according to many leading economists due to the continued impact of the tariffs and the uncertainty created by Trump's erratic behaviour. One person who has done very well out of the Presidency is Trump. Like Trump I would imagine Textor's involvement in Palace is entirely self-serving and he is thinking about his bank balance ahead of any romantic attachment to the club.
If we were to win the cup and enter Europe it will give Textor a hard decision to make, does he cash out at our most successful period in our history, or does he look to build on that success and potentially increase the value of the club even more.
It does feel like we have a ceiling due to the size of our fan base compared to the bigger London clubs and the impact of PSR so to my mind we're better off continuing as we are with Parish in charge of things, as boring and unambitious as some might see that.
