Woody Johnson signs £190m deal to buy John Textor's shares in Crystal Palace
Woody Johnson has agreed a deal to buy John Textor's stake in Crystal Palace, with a sale to the New York Jets owner likely to be ratified by the Premier League within four weeks. In a move that could be a major boost to Palace's hopes of playing in next season's Europa League, it is understood that Johnson's offer of £190m for Textor's 44.9% stake was signed on Sunday evening in the United States. The 78-year-old, who has owned the Jets since 2000 and missed out on buying Chelsea in 2022 after making a $2bn offer, mustpass the Premier League's owners' and directors' test before he can complete the purchase. But it is understood that with Palace under pressure from Uefa to comply with its regulations on multi club ownership, the league is expected to act swiftly to aid their cause. A decision on the FA Cup winners' participation in the Europa League is due this week, although it is believed this latest development will be looked on favourably by Uefa. Textor has come under increasing pressure from Palace's chair, Steve Parish, and the other co-owners – Textor's fellow Americans Josh Harris and David Blitzer – to complete the sale as quickly as possible. The four Palace co-owners were part of the delegation that attended a meeting at Uefa's headquarters in Nyon this month and argued that Textor, the majority shareholder in the French club Lyon, who have also qualified for the Europa League, does not have a decisive influence at Selhurst Park despite being the largest shareholder. It is expected that Johnson's arrival should clear the way for Oliver Glasner's side to take their place in the league stage. It remains to be seen whether the former US ambassador to the UK, who has made no secret of his desire to buy an English football club, has his sights on a full takeover. Harris and Blitzer, who bought stakes worth a combined 36% in 2015 and have portfolios of investments across a number of sports, are believed to be willing to sell, owing to concerns about the ballooning costs of building a new main stand, which some sources are predicting could reach up to £240m. Textor, who failed with an audacious attempt at a takeover of Palace in May in a last-ditch attempt to assume control, is understood to have been reluctant to leave the club in which he has invested about £180m since buying a 40% stake for almost £90m in August 2021. Yet he had a major falling-out with Parish, who owns just over 10% but is the executive chair of the managing company that is in charge of Palace and retains the casting vote, over resistance to embracing his Eagle Football network that also includes the South American champions Botafogo and the Belgian side Daring Brussels. Textor is expected to turn his attention to another English club. The former Palace owner Simon Jordan revealed last week that he recommended to Textor buying the Championship side Sheffield Wednesday, who were last week hit with a ban on transfer spending until 2027 last week for the repeated failure to pay players' wages. 'I was talking to John Textor the other day, and if he comes out of Palace, I was saying to him that is the football club you should be buying if you want to buy another English club,' said Jordan.

Jofra Archer makes red-ball return to close in on Test comeback against India
Jofra Archer has closed in on a return to England Test whites after making a return to first-class cricket for the first time in four years. Archer, batting at No 10, made a crucial 31 for Sussex at Durham and is in line to bowl on Monday after making a comeback to the County Championship. The 30-year-old has not represented England in red-ball cricket since February 2021 having taken 42 wickets in his first 13 Tests after a series of injury issues. His latest set-back came during the IPL, with a thumb injury ruling him out of England's white-ball series against the West Indies and delaying his return to the longer format. Archer could yet feature in the second Test against India at Edgbaston next week, provided he proves his fitness for Sussex. 'He's been absolutely desperate to put the white shirt back on," said England skipper Ben Stokes ahead of the first Test at Headingley. "He's had a torrid run with injuries, but he's managed a fair bit of white-ball cricket recently. The fact that we can now put a structure in place for his red-ball return is a great sign." Sussex have confirmed that Archer is able to play a full part in their Championship encounter at Chester-le-Street, with the quick bowler not limited in terms of workload by England. He and Mark Wood, also working his way back from injury, bowled in the nets before play under the observation of England's elite pace-bowling coach Neil Killeen. Archer then showcased some of his strokeplay with the bat, hitting three fours and a six in a brisk 31 to help talented young batter James Coles reach his century in a key ninth-wicket partnership of 57. Sussex ended day one on 322/9, with Coles unbeaten on 117. Dutch all-rounder Bas de Leede was the pick of the home bowlers with figures of 4/83.
