As others have said, this minority stake investment is unlikely to have a direct and (relatively) immediate impact on Manchester City, beyond the boiling piss based on our new implied valuation (which is “soft”, anyway).
This is a capital injection for the short- and long-term growth of CFG and likely a media play for Silver Lake as they and partners look to create an entertainment conglomerate encompassing quite a few sport (and perhaps non-sport) holdings and upcoming acquisitions.
It should be interesting to see how this plays out with some of the current development goals of member clubs like NYCFC, Girona, and Melbourne City, though, especially in regards to the former’s odyssey to build a stadium in NYC (no small feat given the real estate values and local politics) and whether there is a public offering on the horizon (not that I think it is likely, given the scrutiny that would involve, but it would be one way for our ownership group and various investors to realise returns beyond private share sale).
No matter the motives and/or short-/long-term strategy behind the move, Silver Lake usually know a good investment when they see one, and undoubtedly has taken a close look at CFG’s accounts before making this investment, so this certainly bodes well for the continued financial stability (both real and perceived) of the enterprise, which will have some positive knock-on effects.
The way the deal is structured, and the implications of identity of the investors, means this is definitely a net positive (which cannot necessarily be said of some of the investments made in a few of our rivals) and we’ll obviously enjoy the salty stream rushing from the eyes of the Dippers and Rags as they inanely denounce it on social media.

yeah but other than that what else have they done for usWow!
Stand corrected on this.
Breaking the figures down.
The City Football Group is now valued at $4.8 bill. £3.7bill.
Sheikh Mansour sold a 13% stake in the CFG to Chinese investors for $400mill 4 years ago.
Sheikh Mansour has now sold a 10% stake of CFG to Silver Lake for $500mill.
Sheikh Mansour still owns 77% of CFG.
When Sheikh Mansour bought Manchester City Football Club, 9 years ago, it was bankrupt.
City Football Group didn’t exit.

A model that has been jealously lambasted by all and sundry and their sycophantic, often racist media whores and investigated non stop at the behest of a cartel of clubs unable to keep up both on and off the pitch.
Im glad the UEFA boss was our guest last night i really am.
I'd imagine there's an ocean of boiling piss on Murkyside over this. They'll be scouring the internet for any dirt on Silver Lake.
And the good news is the sewer system on merseyside has just had the best steam clean ever

I am under the impression that people dont just throw around half a billion quid without having a detailed look at the accounts to ensure everything is above board. As such this would appear to bode well for the UEFA investigation.
I doubt there would be this sort of investment if there was a serious chance of us being sanctioned by UEFA.

seen a few already - I am loving that everything we do as a club (and wider CFG) is making them stew in their own boiling piss

Longer term this has to point to some sort of global broadcasting platform. That’s where the billions are sitting.
Agree. I read that the arrival of 5G will revolutionise the way sport viewing is distributed.

I'm going off what PB has stated and a recollection that they bought a further 2%.According to FT, it’s 13 and Sheik owns 77%.
