Ten years ago to the day, the CPFC 2010 consortium agreed a deal in principle to buy Crystal Palace Football Club, rescuing it from potential catastrophe.
Now, in his own words for an exclusive cpfc.co.uk feature, former co-Chairman and current club shareholder Stephen Browett has told his story from the takeover that saved the club...
I never had any desire to own a football club. So, in the summer of 2010, when I stepped out at Selhurst Park as a co-owner of Crystal Palace, I couldn’t quite believe it.
But then, if it was ever going to happen, it was always going to be with Palace.
