Why didn’t they go to city, Utd Madrid Barca. They sold 2 of their best players to West Ham and Bournemouth. That’s the power of the prem. not difficult to understand again

Nope once again, its about using the market properly.
Premier league clubs how more money to throw around, many Euro clubs milk clubs like West Ham n Bournemouth.
Nothing to do with Bournemouth being bigger that Lyon ffs

We are definitely already more valuable, despite the doom and gloom on here. In 2022 Forbes had us at 16th most valuable in the world, Lyon is nowhere near that. Currently we are still probably top 25, and with a good owner would jump back up.
That being said I dont think the Lyon fans would be a fan.

How much for the pair?
We're not even in the top 30, for what it's worth. https://www.forbes.com/lists/soccer-valuations/
Not according to his statement.
"So, why would we sell, just when things are getting so good? Well, Eagle Football is known to employ a highly integrated sporting model across its football clubs, with an unprecedented amount of scouting collaboration and player movement within the family of clubs," Textor explained.
“As proud as we are to have been a part of the resurgence of Crystal Palace, it remains true that Crystal Palace is an independent club, run by a man with a steady hand, who has achieved a level of sustainability that is incredibly uncommon in today’s Premier League. An integrated sporting model, such as ours at Eagle, is simply not a perfect fit for Crystal Palace."

I bet you can guarantee that if WE was doing this...you would defo be arguing it matters and why we are a big Euro club, nailed on.

You have proved my point, thanks.
To be fair he's only had full control there less than 18 months.
Looks like there was a big squad overhaul last season , seems to make changes quickly when needed.
Not sure how the French PSR works or how it will effect them going forward.
Was a little shocked at how much he paid for the club tbh.
It proves he's looking to sell because he isn't able to implement the structure he wants. If you see it differently and that he just wants a play thing, then it's a different viewpoint. We will only know if he gets his hands on us.
They make huge profits on player transfers, 150m over the last 3 seasons.
I interpret it exactly like I said I think he's saying Lyon won't be acting as a feeder club to Everton because we're not a step up from them. Its nothing to do with who gets bigger crowds or who won more trophies in the past i'm not a schoolkid I don't care about that but in the context of the multi club model which is what we're talking about I don't think there would be a hierarchy which sees Everton sitting at the top of the tree above Lyon thats all. If his French club was Le Havre or someone like that it would be different but not Lyon i'm not talking Everton down or Lyon up just being realistic.
Ye seen that a few big ones by French league standards , plus they look pretty stable.
FWIW I have a feeling it won't be him that buys us , think he's played his hand too early , and selling his stake in Palace is a huge stumbling block.
Massive issue, but not an impossible task.
It honestly does depend if there are other people floating around, its very silent atm, but that means nothing, we saw the speed in which Mosh rocked up, within 24hours his name dropped and he had done the deal.
Hoping that happens ( & they are worthy ) as you say Moshiri totally out of the Blue when John J Moores looked like it was him and his mate.
Same happened at Liverpool & lately at Villa.
Here's hoping
Not happening this is it.
