John Textor invested £87.5 million to purchase a 40% stake in Crystal Palace, making him the company’s largest stakeholder. He then contributed £30 million to raise his ownership stake to about 45%.
After former owner Simon Jordan put the club in administration, a group of investors, including Steve Parish and Martin Long, purchased it.
In 2015, American billionaires David Blitzer and Josh Harris joined Crystal Palace’s board alongside Steve Parish to invest £50 million in the team.
Some ambiguity taints Blitzer, Harris, and Textor’s dedication to the team.
In 2022, there were rumours that Blitzer and Harris might purchase Chelsea. Textor has discussed Parish’s worries about Eagle Football Holdings’ multi-club ownership structure in public.
