Crystal Palace FC

2025-06-23 — “Club confirms Robert Wood 'Woody' Johnson 'has signed a legally binding contract to purchase Eagle Football's holding in the Club', completion pending Premier League and WSL approval; thanks John Textor for 'his contribution over the past four years'. No financial terms.”

2025-07-24 — “'The Premier League Board has approved Woody Johnson's 42.92 per cent acquisition of Crystal Palace FC following the completion of the League's Owners' and Directors' Test'; ratified by an Independent Oversight Panel.”

2025-07-24 — “Completion of purchase of Textor's 43% stake, 'a deal believed to be worth close to £190m'. Palace appealing UEFA's Europa League demotion at CAS; Textor 'bought a stake in the club in 2021 but ends his association with Palace'.”

2025-07-24 — “Premier League approved purchase of a 42.92 per cent stake from Eagle Football Holdings; ODT completed faster than the usual two months given Johnson's 25 years as Jets owner. 'Textor only had a minimal input in any case, with Parish remaining executive chairman'; Johnson likely to contribute to Selhurst Park redevelopment funding.”

2025-06-23 — “'Johnson's offer of £190m for Textor's 44.9% stake was signed on Sunday evening in the US' (22 June). Note: the 44.9% figure conflicts with the Premier League's 42.92%; league figure used.”

2025-06-23 — “'Johnson is set to pay about $215 million to Textor, who owns a more than 40% stake in the team via Eagle, people familiar with the matter have said.' Conflicts with the £190m (c.$254m) UK reporting.”

2025-06-23 — “'Johnson is understood to have paid about £200 million to buy the 42.9 per cent of the club previously owned by US investor Textor'; deal 'values Palace at about £500 million'. Textor 'had neglected to place his shares in Ligue 1 Lyon in a blind trust by the early March deadline'.”

2025-07-11 — “UEFA CFCB demoted Palace to the Conference League: 'Textor's Eagle Football owns a 43% stake in Palace and a 77% stake in Lyon'; 1 March 2025 compliance deadline missed; Palace argued Textor 'does not hold any decisive influence at the club', which UEFA rejected. Lyon took the Europa League place on higher league finish (6th vs 12th).”
