CFG Expansion | Başakşehir to join? (p70)

[KS55]

For me the bottom line is that CFG are our owners and I think to be owned by a British company whose business is football is better than to be owned by:
An American sports corporation whose objective is profit.
An on line bookie.
A Russian oligarch.
Mike Ashley.
etc. etc.

Did he lose his right hand in the till;-)

Would make sense to own an Italian team but think it might be hard. Too big and historic to rebrand to big not to have them playing in blue with a circle badge they would not fit with the other clubs in the CFG in terms of reasons for ownership and badge

How’s our takeover of NEC Breda going? Haven’t heard anything since NEC announced they’d agreed a deal with CFG.

Currently sitting in Seria C, but i think the brand they have will be kept and not overwritten. They havent really changed a club to fit the system since Torque. All have kept the traditional kits/logos since.

For what I heard the CFG are not planning on rebranding EC Bahia in Brazil as well, and they're saying it will be the second most important club in the group only behind Manchester City... Maybe that's the way they'll do it from now on.

I think it depends on the club Do they have a preexisting history are they a youth development club or key to brand CFG

A British company?

CFG going after three clubs right now. EC Bahia (Brazil), Palermo (Italy) and NEC Breda (Netherlands). All would be very good and welcome additions to the group.
