American John Textor has held talks to buy out fellow shareholders David Blitzer and Josh Harris and take control of Crystal Palace, but faces competition from New York Jets owner Woody Johnson. (Guardian) https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/ced21zjpn14o Is Woody losing interest in the Jets? Do you think he might sell?
Two different experiences of Americans taking over teams Wrexham > Carlisle Utd Wrexham 3 promotions on the trot, Carlisle Utd two relegations and out of the football league. I'll let you guess which is my hometown team
I was all excited to see this....until I saw it was Crystal Palace (my 2nd team). Dumb ass Woody prolly thinks it's a Chinese restaurant.
I'm all for this. Since at worst it's an alternative attention whoring outlet that probably *ups* any potential chance he'd end up selling off the NYJ down the line.
Premiere League is getting big here. Many of their games are televised here double sometimes triple headers on Saturdays and Sundays. I'm always amazed no matter how crappy a team may be even in danger of relegation the stands look absolutely jam packed. On tv that's how it looks. So Woody will ruin that team he'll still make money. Crystal Palace is the team with that big African striker the guy that wears that thing on his head I forget his name? The dude is a beast. I thought about going to that summer series thing they've been advertising but those are preseason games? So I decided not to rather save it for Jets regular season games.
