777 Partners / Whatever the hell you like

[AndyRJ]

Ugh, that started promising and got worse near the end.

Lets hope that's because we've bought by wealthy new owners rather than having gone into liquidation before he can sell Palace!!

 

[marnie]

Yes, I accept that this is now interest elsewhere.

As long as the fella can bin off his other bird, we have a chance of getting our leg over.

lol lol lol

Ugh, that started promising and got worse near the end.

Even the ending is somewhat positive, in that if we aren't available it'll be because someone else has completed the deal.

Suspect though if Textor is offering a good solution the club could be tided over until it comes to pass.

No its good news overall.

Shows that people are pondering us.

Exactly this. His last sentences sum it up
“I suspect that the problem with Everton is it won’t be available by the time we would be ready for it. You can’t own two clubs in one league and we’re not going to rush the situation at Palace, no matter how good another opportunity looks.”

He won't be our saviour anytime soon, but it suggests that he expects someone else will be in a better place and will be ready to buy is.

Its good to see that people who are currently investing in clubs are of this opinion. There will be others.

 

[Neiler]

Dude has stakes also in Lyon, Botafogo and Molenbeek.

No matter how serious his interest is it's great someone is saying this in public, might force other wait-and-see investors off the fence.

Yup. If his team have been looking at it, and speaking to some of the stakeholders, and he still views it as a great opportunity, the the nuclear option would seem to be a lot further away than has been touted by those that supposedly single handedly saved the club by personally stopping 777 (assuming Mosh doesn’t demand £4billion, and when he doesn’t get it just craters the whole club out of spite).

 

[Exeter_Gently]

I suspect this won't happen because we need a sale ASAP.

However, it's good to hear someone else being interested and actively referring to us as a club everyone should be interested in buying! Hopefully there are others who will be thinking along the same lines!

100%...he's definitely giving us a good shout here.

No, shan't, so there.

Looks like he has broken ranks ahead of the well reported end date for the 777 exclusivity deal of the end of the month.

He's called out potential corruption, I don't mind that at all

The other thing it makes clear is just HOW quietly business like this is conducted, he's said he's had ongoing conversations and it's unlikely that's just been in the last day or two, but other than one guy on Twitter it's been quiet until he broke the silence himself.

So the people saying "there are no other bidders" simply mean there are none THEY KNOW OF. There could be significant interest and no one would necessarily know.
