John Textor decides on Crystal Palace sale as Everton plans 'Shattered' - report

John Textor wants to buy a new club after missing out on Everton as he looks to sell his Crystal Palace shares, according to Alan Nixon.

The journalist reported on 29 September that the American is on the lookout for a new club after Dan Friedkin “shattered” his plans at Goodison Park.

The American businessman is keeping an eye out for fresh opportunities and is still looking to find a way out of his shares at Selhurst Park.

John Textor to sell Crystal Palace shares after Everton miss

This season is starting to look up for the Toffees with the news that the Friedkin Group had reached an agreement on the sale of Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1 per cent stake in the club [Evertonfc.com, 23 September].

When this is paired with Sean Dyche’s side securing their first win of the campaign against Crystal Palace.

A Dwight McNeil double was enough to take three points at Goodison Park despite going 1-0 down with just 10 minutes gone on Saturday 28 September.

With all that being said, it had looked as if Textor was going to take over but had been waiting to sell his shares in the Eagles.

This clearly wasn’t an easy progress for the Lyon owner which allowed Friedkin to step in and take advantage of the uncertainty.

Given his work at Roma, there is optimism building around Goodison with fans starting to look towards the future with positivity.
