Lrrr Posted April 13, 2021 Report Share Posted April 13, 2021 I just look at it curiously that they have $575m after their IPO is that the entire fund or what they're sinking into football? On the face of it a club like Newcastle would be ideal for them but think Ashley wanted £300m(?) to sell Newcastle, that would leave the group with £118m or $162m, how much would get sunk into Newcastle leaving them less for other investments. They could obviously aim for a smaller PL club which would cost less to buy, say Palace (rumoured to be up for sale in 2019) however buying a championship club with potential is a riskier move but potentially a much bigger pay off for them if it worked.

But there is one counter-argument. Billy Beane is involved and his entire background is around ignoring the instinctively obvious if there is potential elsewhere. There is an argument that the smaller London and North-West clubs have a limit to their potential due to competition in their area and that we've got potential as a long term investment simply due to the fact that, if we were the only club in England to the West and the South of Birmingham offering Premier League football, our potential catchment area is vast. I can see someone seeing that as a better investment than some of the smaller Premier League clubs. Still think there's nothing in this though.

Exactly. Especially if we get a donut (sic) outlet installed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
