Who owns Crystal Palace?
Although formally created as a professional outfit in 1905, the club’s origins can be traced as far back as 1861, when an amateur Crystal Palace football team was established at the Crystal Palace Exhibition building.
Crystal Palace has a fan base predominantly from the local area which draws on South London, Kent, and Surrey. Their original home at The Crystal Palace was on the boundary with Kent, while Selhurst Park was within Surrey’s borders until the London Government Act 1963 saw Greater London encompass Croydon.
Moving on, Crystal Palace’s chairman Steve Parish, is one of four owners of the Eagles, alongside Joshua Harris, David Blitzer, and John Textor. Crystal Palace has enjoyed largely an impressive first season under Patrick Vieira and will look to continue their progress under the French manager in August.
The company accounts later showed that the ownership figures were: Steve Parish at 18%, Steve Browett at 5%, Jeremy Hosking at 5%, and Martin Long at 2.5% with the remainder being owned by Palace Holdco LP (a limited partnership registered in Delaware) 67.5% and Palace Parallel LLC (a company also registered in Delaware) 1.5%. Both Palace Holdco and Palace Parallel have 180 preference shares each.
