Palace chief Parish frustrated takeover talks being made public

Crystal Palace chief Steve Parish has confirmed they're in takeover talks.

US billionaire Josh Harris is understood to be in advanced discussions with the Eagles regarding a takeover.

Parish, writing in the match programme ahead of last night's game against Sunderland, said: "It is not helpful that every single time we talk to interested parties or individuals that it gets out to the media.

"But I have to accept that this kind of thing does happen through whatever means. But I can assure you that there have also been many times where we have held discussions and it has remained private.

"The club is part of the biggest league in the world. We get approaches from many interested parties and, as I have always said, as a group of owners we will consider everything and look at whatever is in the best long-term interests of the club."
