EPL side Crystal Palace Co-Chair Steve Parish has no "immediate plans" to sell the club, but said "talks are ongoing with an interested party," according to the BBC. The Eagles were "linked with a takeover" by American billionaire Josh Harris late last year. Parish said it only needs investments "in order to improve Selhurst Park." Parish: "The only reason for us to get money in is to improve the infrastructure. There is no rush and we are in a good place. If it happens, it happens." Parish has been co-owner and co-chairman of Palace since leading the consortium CPFC 2010's deal to "save the club from extinction" in '10. The Eagles "won promotion to the top flight" in '13 via the Championship playoffs and recently announced a pre-tax profit of £23M for the financial year to June. Harris is the principal owner of two sports teams in the U.S. -- NHL side New Jersey Devils and the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA -- and recent newspaper reports have "suggested he is close to buying Palace." However, Parish "may remain at Selhurst Park" even if the south London club is sold. Parish added, "It depends what the situation is -- something else could happen tomorrow" (BBC, 4/7).
