The bizarre prospect of Colonel Gaddafi buying Palace appears to be no more, after a spokesman denied the Libyan leader has any interest in taking over the club.
Reports earlier this weekend suggested Gaddafi was eyeing a move for the Eagles in order to strengthen his country’s relations with Britain.
But despite Simon Jordan admitting he would consider selling to Gaddafi, the deal seems already dead.
"Mr Gaddafi had been informed about the rumours that bounded him to a possible interest to buy Crystal Palace, but he knew nothing and he isn't involved in this situation," said the spokesman.
