That chap on talkshite today who stepped in for simon jordan (Peterborough chairman) thought 750million debt was a bargain for a buyer.

I wouldn't agree with him saying it's a bargain but with a new stadium nearing completion and the squad and wages trimmed a new owner running the club even just solidly in the premier League will make profits overall when they sell the club on eventually bar the bottom falling out of the premier League and TV coverage

There’s the rub.
Tv coverage is generated by the best players and world obsessions with the RS and Utd.
They don’t have m ffp and Newcastle and Man City take trophy’s off the RS and Utd. But we dominate Europe
impose ffp, and the best players are more evenly spread across the world, premier league teams stop dominating in Europe, and no longer claim to be the best in the werld. And TV money runs out
We have all lost interest in the Classico in recent years haven’t we?

 

[Toffeelover]

….i think the rules are changing after next season.

You don't mean when the PL (Masters) have finally got us relegated do you ?

May be related, may not. It has been reported that Bloomberg have been instructed to find a buyer for Palace Board member David Blitzer’s shares in Bundesliga club Augsburg. They would be worth c£50m and therefore way off what Textor’s Palace stake is worth anyway.
The two things may not be related and I’m not trying to suggest that they are, just posting what has been reported.

If one country has dominated the CL and the Europa League this last decade, it's Spain.

Augsburg are a decent little team who are on the way up, I don't think he will struggle to sell his shares. I read something about this the other day that was suggesting a possible link, Blitzer's Augsburg stake somehow involves MSP somewhere along the line as they are one of the MSP clubs within their group.

Yeah, they are but I don’t know how any tie up with Blitzer works. Interesting to find out.

Him and one of the MSP guys have something called Bolt Football Holdings, seems to be some sort of investment vehicle for football clubs.

Thanks, didn’t know that.

 

[Simon Buttle]

Yeah, it seems a little weird (all this financial stuff is imo) its sort of separate from MSP but it's not and it's linked to something called MSG (original name) He is listed as being involved with the ownership of all the MSP clubs then a few more odd ones and obviously his Palace thing, investments in a few other sports also.

Yes, I think he is in the NBA & NHL. Whenever (or if ever) the TV money dries up some of these guys are going to catch a cold.

 

[Kaiser Soysauce]

Publicly announcing interest in another club isn't going to go well for a good price for his existing Crystal Palace shares.....

Nope, but it might get him more say in the running of Palace….

Ding ding ding, people too often assume stuff is said randomly. He could very well have said that to force the hand at Palace.

Someone on here pointed out that the best thing about what Texter said about us would certainly act as a catalyst for serious incoming bids, seems very true by the looks of todays events.
