P Diddy plans to put the Cristal into Crystal Palace with a shock bid for the struggling London footie team.
The hip-hop mogul has decided he wants to be the next filthy rich foreign owner of an English club.
And Diddy, real name
Sean Combs, is planning to splash some of his reported
£360million on the
Selhurst Park side who gave Sun columnist
Ian Wright his big break in football.
The bankrupt club is in chaos, facing relegation from the
Coca-Cola Championship after having ten points docked for going into administration.
Former owner
Simon Jordan was no stranger to the jet-set - so at least the poor fans are used to flamboyant playboy owners with a taste for the high life.
Diddy's swoop for
The Eagles would bring some much needed bling back to south east London.
Last night his UK spokesman confirmed the multi-millionaire is in the market for Palace. He also added that the New Yorker has his eye on another big club.
Bankrupt
A source said: "
Diddy was in London meeting football fixers a couple of weeks ago. The finance is in place, he's just deciding who he thinks he'll make a bid for.
"
Portsmouth were mentioned but he thought Palace were a better idea.
"He could cover their debt and bankroll a return to the Premier League. He liked the name as well"
If he bought my team Hibs, he could be P Hibby and park his yacht in the docks in Leith.
