John Textor

[GrandOldTeam]

That's a lot of words to bury last night's news of a renewed bid for Palace....

So why leave buoyant, well-run Palace? “Before we decided to leave one family, to join another, we did try to do everything possible to stay connected with the club and community of Crystal Palace. If supporters don't switch allegiances easily, owners shouldn't either”. Adds “we made an offer to buy the remaining shares of Crystal Palace”. “We respected our partners enough to offer fair value”.

The Esk doesn't think John Textor is a reliable source of information.....could be his best ever this one

I'm starting to think he might be Alan Myers

If only the esk hadn't already long ago been shown up himself as not a reliable source of information himself, pot calling the kettle black.

Is it not that when he lost out to the Friedkin Group he tried to buy Palace now we are back on the market he is back in?

Dunno not sure if Myers deliberately lied about having an involvement with a group in a bid to buy Everton and then grassed himself up later after he'd been trashing rivals bidders and bigging up the one he was involved with, or did he?

I'm genuinely surprised Everton Twitter haven't just straight up crucified The Esk, how does this lad still get so much recognition from people.

Yeah it sounds a bit mental because it’s different to the usual clinical, triple PR checked statements you get from everyone in football from clubs to players, but I quite like it. It’s just a guy writing his own words in his own voice. It shouldn’t be as unusual as it is really.

You could say the same thing about Trump

Yeah like when Mosh man went on Jim Whites deadline day show and started chatting waffle to him.

Credible reports claimed last night he made a new bid for Palace.

In my view that lengthy statement he's put out is a recovery effort in response.

He hasn't denied that new/late bid and instead, waffled on that owners, like supporters shouldn't change allegiances easily.

Behind the apparent enthusiasm and gusto, some of Textors comments are concerning.

He has said that he wants glory, and wouldn't it be great to restore Everton's fortunes, but has also said it's high reward for high risk. Thats being led by emotion, and it leads to over-reach. As boring as it sounds, I'd rather people like him said nothing and be judged by their deeds. How many times did Kenwright get carried away with baseless waffle?

We have had enough of high risk. And someone who says that seems to me very likely to interfere with football decisions.

You can call for glory when you're backed by Saudi or Qatar.

For everyone else, its firstly about stability and then sustainable progression.

Risk has no place in a coherent strategy. It's about more ill-disciplined management and financial profligacy.

Yeah my worry is he's just American Moshiri making signings for our managers, genuinely don't trust this guy at all.

Has he sold his Crystal Palace shares yet?

Come back when he has. Thanks

You probably aren’t the one to make comments about someone buying/selling shares in a club…..

I don't own any shares in any other football club. Unlike Textor. So I'm in a perfect position to comment that he needs to sell the Palace shares first

Just reading what Crystal Palace fans have to say.

In my view, this fella nails it;

Textor has put out a long statement of waffle. He doesn't actually deny making a new offer for Palace, just skirts around it, referring to misinformation to try to appease Everton fans.

People will praise the transparency, but it's the opposite to me. It's disingenuous.

He needs to state when the bid/approach was made for Palace. Everyone knows he tried in the past - the Athletic reported a new bid last night which has sent him scurrying to recover.
