Source: Jets owner Johnson agrees Palace deal
Briefly

Woody Johnson, owner of the New York Jets, is set to acquire a 43% stake in Crystal Palace for £190 million from John Textor, pending Premier League approval. This move is significant for Crystal Palace as it could allow the club to qualify for the UEFA Europa League after winning the FA Cup, resolving ownership conflicts with Textor's other stakes, particularly with Lyon. The Premier League's Owners and Directors' Test and UEFA regulations complicate the transaction, with Textor reportedly trying to divest his shares in Palace for some time.
