Arsenal legend Tony Adams strikes £200m deal to buy Crystal Palace (says Daily Star)

[Wozza]

Adams and former IMG and Chelsea executive Paul Smith have been looking to put together investors to take over a club, having previously held talks with Aston Villa and Sunderland.

Now it looks like they have been successful at the Selhurst Park club, who are managed by Dutchman Frank de Boer.

It is believed Adams has secured the backing of European investors for the proposed takeover.

Adams has previously been linked with Chinese businessman Jiang Lizhang, the owner of Link International Sports.

Let's hope he takes over as manager...

I'll drink to that! I'm sure he will too!

 

[albionfan37]

Ohh let that happen and fall through the divisions

Always quite liked Adams, his book is a good read. That said he's crap at anything football related so yes, let him ruin them!

Are the americans cheesed off already then ?

Couldn't blame them, to be fair.

What about the Famous Four, who are all richer than Tony Bloom, and lifelong fans?

That would be a proper LOL moment if that happened

Have a look at Twitter and search 'Tony Adams'. It's funny.

Disney has been trying to flog CPFC2010 for years, he can't wait to get shot of them.

Some Americans recently bought a large stake in the club, right?

Presumably this story is largely nonsense?

His training session with Granada is amazing.

Would be good news, everything Adams has touched since he finished playing has turned to shit pretty rapidly.

Sounds like he'd make a good Palace coach driver.

I have a certain amount of respect for Tony Adams. But, as has already been said, other than playing the game he seems pretty useless at football related things. I'm in!

That is fantastic

I really wouldn't believe this about any other team. Fingers crossed it happens!

Those amazing 4 owners who EACH were richer, more passionate and bigger fans of their club than TB have passed the club off already to yanks right? So that went well.

Weren't they going to have a new stadium too rather than a supermarket...... maybe Adams is the man to take them to the next level.

Also wonder if the 'European' thing is a nice work around for people he's worked with before or at least connected. There is generally a way around most things like that by having a small %, just like paying a small % of your debts to St. Johns, charities and local small businesses. We all know which club are the experts having done that on more than one occasion and thus topping the league of financial wizardry.......... though I kind of want to slip an expletive between financial and wizardry.

Match made in heaven.

Thought it was the new team dance moves, to celebrate a goal.
Should be interesting to see what happens.
The fact that he has managed to get this far is surprising, must be a lot of gullible rich folk out there.

Not necessarily. The Americans will make a substantial profit, as will Parish and Co.

Either [MENTION=2655]TONY[/MENTION]Adams6_ is a sick, unfunny parody of a man with addiction issues or the bloke is serious about Palace and runs his Twitter account like his warm ups.

Even from a small club like Palace. What times we live in.
