They are venture capitalists rather than long term investors in Man City. Their aim is to make money for their shareholders. Clearly City's board think it benefits CFG too because they have need for capital.Explain?
If you know anything about the city group where its heading + more teams to be added to there portfolio and what it brings to the table to a mega company like Silver Lake you come across as clueless.
Despite the negative headline , pretty good read

What this tells you is that City, despite what our media critics say, are not able to tap Abu Dhabi. If we could, Sheikh Mansour would not dilute his equity in Man City.
I am afraid you are more likely fall into that category - no good comes off venture capitalists - they are there to maximise profits in the short-term - end off. City Group adding more teams to their portfolio is a good move but having venture capitalists that require a return isn't ... doing it with you own money & equity would be much, much better. Plus if there is money to be made, either now or in the future, why share it with anybody else?Explain?

I am sure they even said great things about the Glazer's to start with. Re the other companies in Silver Lakes Portfolios - they are mostly profit making companies distributing dividends to owners so the don't care who owns them they have got to distribute their dividends to someone and they and the venture capitalists share the same objective. Would be great if City's arrangements stayed as is (although it has been up to now too good to be true) with the owners simply being happy to reinvest everything the club makes and more into the team to achieve sporting success without paying out dividends in the future or diluting their equity stake and hence potentially impacting their willingness to invest in the future. If you want to compare your credentials to mine in terms of finance just ping me a PM ... In short it is great where City have come from and got to, but this is not good news in itself - it represents the dilution of some very good (sorry excellent) ownership .

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silver_Lake_PartnersSilver Lake are not venture capitalists.
Agree one of the few sensible comments re this news ... They have been brilliant owners and because of that you wouldn't want that ownership diluted anymoreThey are venture capitalists rather than long term investors in Man City. Their aim is to make money for their shareholders. Clearly City's board think it benefits CFG too because they have need for capital.
