Unbelievable Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ronny running a story that MA could be willing to sell a stake rather than sell the club. Not read it because their website is f***ing s**** and breaks computers. We have publicly invited external investment before if memory serves?

Village Idiot Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Espanyol. New owner has been rather sensible; hasn't showered money on them but shored up the debt - which they badly needed - and let the football people run things. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Not expecting new owners to shower the club in money, but get rid of Charnley and get some proper sports executive in there and that will help the club immeasurably. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unbelievable Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 Ado Den Haag. Their owner promised they would soon be challenging for top honours and has been legally charged by the club recently for failing to meet his end of the investment bargain. Seems very much a mixed bag. Still, I'd rather take a mixed bag than a downright crap one. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 It's important to realize how things have changed when considering any Chinese owners. Chinese investment and ownership of European clubs is not strictly just private investors out for their own interests or capital gains, as has been the case in the past, and so it's not necessarily worth directly comparing to past cases and examples. It's now a concerted government effort for soft power using the football industry as a vehicle, orchestrated from the very top of the Chinese government. The purchases of both the Milan clubs and a percentage share of Man City are the most notable examples of this. It'll only become more clear what kind of investment this is when we actually find out who they are. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skeletor Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 It's the word consortium that makes me uncomfortable. Have connotations of fraudsters and people with no money from past experiences of consortiums trying takeovers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
