I’m hoping that, when they realise that there isn’t as much money to be made as they thought, they will sell up leaving the Sugar Daddy model. Not just my thoughts it’s actually the last page of Soccernomics.
The rags and dippers have recently been on the market at premium valuations.
There was NO interest in the dippers & the rags could only sell 25% of their club, leaving the excellent Glazers in control.
The monolith that is Manchester City & CFG and our growth and success, has undermined the historical values of the cartel clubs, they are years behind City on most of the critical performance matrix.
Additionally City’s unblinking, debt free growth in Manchester and abroad,is widening the value gap and as such will be making potential investors squeamish at paying premiums for ‘failing, debt saddled’ clubs.
The yanks are stuck with their low investment /high return strategy, additionally the new financial rules, introduced at their behest, have created unintended negative consequences.
Finally, there will soon be changes in the executive management of the PL hopefully reducing or eliminating the malignant influence of the cartel, & the involvement of the Government Regulator should also deliver more control and transparency.
IMO....the cartel have never had it so bad !!
