Crystal Palace Ownership: British Fans Emerge as Leading Bidders for 45% Stake

Zechariah Janjua and Navshir Jaffer lead a consortium advised by Keith Harris, vying to acquire John Textor's share in the club.

John Textor, who owns a 45% stake in Crystal Palace, is selling to focus on acquiring a controlling interest in another football club.
The Raine Group is managing the sale, with three main contenders, including a consortium led by British fans Zechariah Janjua and Navshir Jaffer.
Keith Harris, a veteran football financier, is advising Janjua and Jaffer's group, which is valued at over £200 million.
Other interested parties include an unnamed American group, while existing shareholders David Blitzer and Josh Harris may match the bid.
Textor's decision to sell is partly driven by Premier League rules preventing ownership stakes in multiple clubs and financial needs related to his investment in Olympique Lyonnais.
