U.S. investors Josh Harris and David Blitzer have Crystal Palace's best interests at heart, said club chairman Steve Parish on Monday.
Parish is on the verge of selling a shareholding in Palace and the deal, which is at an advanced stage but has yet to be finalised, could be completed by Christmas.
Speaking ahead of the Monday game against Sunderland, Parish told the Evening Standard: "I know some people may have reservations about this but I firmly believe this is what is needed to move us to the next level, and as always we only have the club's best intentions at heart.
"It is important to me and the three other current owners, who will all stay involved in any future structure, that the club remains in the hands of people who love it as much as we do, and we will continue to do everything we can to drive it forward and establish ourselves as a force in the Premier League for a long time.
"I feel as though the current owners and new investors can work together well and hopefully a mix of U.K. and U.S.A. personnel can help avoid the mistakes fans from other clubs have experienced when boardroom level changes are made."
The Premier League side are reportedly worth in the region of £100 million.
Harris, a private equity investor worth a reported $4 billion, began to support the Eagles after watching them on TV in America and has flown to Selhurst Park a number of times to watch them in action.
Harris and Blitzer, who also own NHL side New Jersey Devils, targeted Palace because the pair saw similarities with Philadelphia -- South London is booming amid a £5.2bn regeneration plan and 7,000 new homes being built -- while plans for a redevelopment of Selhurst Park are in the works.
If a deal is struck, it would add to the three Premier League clubs who already have American ownership: Liverpool (Fenway Sports Group), Arsenal (Stan Kroenke) and Aston Villa (Randy Lerner).
