I assume he's
It's incredibly sad. Like probably many on here I've done the Camp Nou tour got the photo , but during the tour you got the impression they were a club that prided themselves on being a club of the people. More than a club is the motto. It's like they've sold their soul.
Sounds like the socialist club up the East Lancs, the one formed by a Tory & owned by a hedge fund.
 
That’s not how it works.

JP Morgan agrees to secure funding for the SL. They will not be providing funding from their own coffers, instead they act as an advisor. They provide marketing and lending expertise, securitization advisory (loans vs bonds vs stocks etc) as well as a large contact list of institutional lenders like insurance companies, asset managers and hedge funds that would be potentially interested in buying the securities marketed by JP Morgan.

Since the project fell apart, there will be no funds since nobody is interested in lending money to de-facto bankrupt clubs.

Though I do not speak for JP Morgan, I work there, though not on this project nor did I know about it. On Monday I let my boss know I will be leaving before the end of the year.
What do you do for them? My firm's hiring :)

It was never clear to me which side of JP Morgan was involved here. The stuff I saw made it sound like the corporate bank but you're saying its the investment bank, which makes a ton more sense to me!

Corporate credit.

Nah, I am not 100 percent certain, but the advisory and underwriting fees are much better than going the direct route. Additionally this is a pretty complex deal; especially post-Brexit and is going to need a ton of help on the structuring side. Besides, football clubs are not very good investments, truth be told and banks aren’t typically interested in lending to profligate businesses that are perpetually running in the red (heh, see what I did there).
 





Now he wants to be seen as the saviour ...


Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich led the charge to get out of the European Super League, with the reasons behind his move now becoming apparent.

Abramovich stepped in to pull Chelsea out of the Super League on Tuesday, having listened to the depth of feeling from club supporters in opposing the radical plans.

The world would be a better place if we accepted that no team, Chelsea and City included, are the heroes in this story. I think we can accep that Real and United were ringleaders, but no one comes out of this looking good.

I would disagree with you here, the interest is not in individual clubs but the vehicle of major European clubs coming together, the media rights alone are huge.

This is why they needed 6 English clubs to disrupt the premier league, voting and media power. The rest were window dressing really.

It’s a huge business if you can corral it but it failed.
