Sportsbank is the group that has put in the offer, per The Mail, and are hoping to wrap up the deal in a week’s time.

Two London businessmen Zechariah Janjua and Navshir Jaffer are the men behind the bid.

Sportsbank is said to be made up of individuals who support Palace, which Textor appreciates.

The club will be in good hands moving forward, as it attempts to avoid relegation this season.
