He owns 25% of Benfica.

A link between the clubs could prove fruitful.

Most owners will want their money back at sometime as that is the only exit strategy.

Who knows what is happening at Palace. More investors coming on board (Franco?) and seemingly Harris / Blitzer no longer trying to sell.

It seems to me that SP has continued to play a blinder, although we don't know what part the Americans have played.

The Academy looks increasingly important in the scope of things.

I would think his biggest mistake was when he reportedly turned down an offer from the eventual 2010 consortium to take over the running of the club a year before admin(I assume that is true). Moses would have stayed a Palace player.

I can fully understand Jordan's resentment towards Parish, however when he has a dig, he seems to do more damage to himself then Parish.

On this occasion, it's when he makes reference to Parish being so happy because money's going into the club without him having to dig into his own pockets (not necessarily true).

All this did was to highlight the fact that two of Parish's key business points during his Palace tenure have been that

A) he wouldn't even invest in - let alone purchase - the club without the stadium

(Key SJ mistake)

And B) he didn't have sufficient wealth to fund the enterprise alone

(Key SJ mistake)

Like I said, I understand his bitterness but to keep shining a light on these things has worse implications for his reputation than Parish's.

Kevin Day's co host of The Price of Football podcast is sometimes asked to estimate a £ value of Football clubs for potential investors due to his Football finances expertise. He said on this week's episode that for the near £90m Textor has invested, he now probably owns more than 40% of the club.

I've heard him say that Palace were worth between £250m and £275m a long while back but obviously football club valuations are a bit lower currently.

I'm a qualified accountant and football finances have long been a hobby of mine. I tend to read everything I can find on clubs being sold or part sold. I'm no expert but not a novice. I had Palace valued at upto £300m for various reasons I won't bore you with. But even at my valuation, Textor would still own about 30% which makes him comfortably the biggest shareholder.

Just to get it right, Tony Bloom was owed £304m by various companies as at 30 June 2020 (all interest free).

The bulk of that was Brighton - £233m - that had increased by £32m since the previous year.

No idea what family he has but someone might not want to continue pouring money into Brighton or they might want some money back, if Bloom dies.
