Yeah and, to be fair, the thought of not being owned by Gao is also quite exciting. And I agree with your point above about us being cheaper than Newcastle and therefore giving any group more money to invest after purchasing.
POTUS = Pile Of Totally Useless **** He's good at that Sorry no politics! To get back on topic...can you imagine if he did buy us. Moral dilemma...what if we were actually good under him?
With sterling relatively weak in comparison with the dollar, the PL clubs and some lower down the scale will be look attractive to potential.buyers. For location, fanbase and access to London's immense wealth of talented players, Palace would be a club to.purchase. OK, the ground is outdated and would require a big input of investment but long-term they would be an attractive purchase.

And in a weird bit of synchronicity, his failure to buy his way into sports ownership may well have ended up with him as president. In 2014, he tried to buy the Buffalo Bills, which would have provided him entry into an elite part of society that he had chased for decades, dating back to his time as a USFL owner in the '80s. It failed, because the financial documents he submitted were dodgy (quelle surprise!) and he was never actually able to demonstrate that he had the necessary funds. Soon after he turned his attention in earnest to politics...
Palace is a good shout. Forest, Ipswich, Sunderland and a couple of the traditionally big lower league clubs were also mentioned. Problem is that they become way harder to develop with salary caps and stricter FFP rules. Championship has more freedom but it’s historically competitive and highly unpredictable. I think anyone looking to buy a club needs to be targeting the mid/lower half PL teams. Newcastle, Palace, us, West Brom, Villa...
American businessman Joseph DaGrosa enters period of exclusivity in bid to buy Saints: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/f...lks-former-Bordeaux-owner-Joseph-DaGrosa.html He tried to buy Newcastle a year ago but Ashley wouldn't bring his valuation down from £350m. He was using Peter Kenyon to broker that takeover deal.
