I have to say whilst I think everyone is right to be incredibly wary of Textor, conversely however I'm not aware of him really doing anything wrong by Palace, has he?!
To me he seems like the perfect silent partner. He's stumped up money and was happy to take a smaller voice in voting despite owning a disproportionate amount of shares. Lots of people ask "why would you do that?" like it must be some part of a Machiavelli super plan but maybe as a businessman he wants 45 percent of the earnings, dividends and future potential, but perhaps recognises in reality he's not got the skill set, experience or knowledge to make decisions to move his investment forward?
I'd love to own a whole bunch of shares in NVIDIA, but I'd be terrified if they started asking me how to build a microchip or improve their Ai platforms.
Don't get me wrong, I'll be perfectly happy if he decides to walk away but (maybe it's the three years of relative success going to my head) equally of all the pantomime and real villains in Football, not sure he's quite as evil as some make out.
