Crystal Palace co-owner John Textor is the club's biggest shareholder and his Eagle Football Holdings has about a 45% stake in the Premier League outfit.
His company also has majority stakes in French giants Lyon, Brazil's Botafogo, Belgian top-flight club RWD Molenbeek and US academy side FC Florida.
Palace recently appointed new manager Oliver Glasner to replace Roy Hodgson amid supporters displaying frustration with the way the club is being run.
In a rare and revealing interview, Textor spoke to BBC Sport about his love of Palace, fan protests, his relationship with chairman Steve Parish, why he admires Glasner, and multi-club ownership models.
