Any guaranteed Premier League club is basically a cash cow at this point. It's not really about the operating profit, but the value of the club. The Glazers bought the club for 800 million they're about to sell it for something in the region of 4 billion. So they've increased their money by five times in 18 years, all the while being able to take money out of the club to fund their luxury lifestyle.

It be Ratcliffe buying 50% of them or the Glazers staying that will be the outcome and the debt will keep rising lovely Jubbley

It would make massively more sense, the potential to 'add value' to any of these teams in a business sense is huge.

I just can't understand the appeal of the rags as a commercial investment, yes they've got huge income but they've got even bigger debts and are basically just breaking even at best.

I suppose ultimately these investors are just like the typical rag fans, it's all about glory and being associated with the big name rather than having any real interest in football.

Jassim, of course, isn't the investor.

Would have thought they could have saved themselves some money by just subscribing to Blue Moon!

Jism is the one I heard. Going to spunk more money on shit players.

 

[Tuearts right boot]

Always said it, if he wants return on investment, Everton is the place to go.

If he doesn't, what exactly does he want?

I've never understood why someone would buy untied other than to be assosiated with a 'name'. There is not much potential there other than what is already there, then there's the costs involved just to maintain it let alone increase your profits.

Everton......Quite agree, sleeping giant, 2nd club in the city, plenty of potential in the right hands, decent fan base....You're getting in at the bottom so to speak, can only really go one way....


Now where have I heard that before ???

I would love to be a fly on the wall when the PL discusses how this guy can afford 5 billion plus for the rags.

Leeds too

Well true, but what's in it for the Qatari's in that case?

They can hardly use the united brand for sportswahing purposes and to promote Qatar if they're not officially the owners of united?

 

[yeah whatever !!]

Saw a southern plastic wearing a white inter shirt in Manchester city centre yesterday, told he looked a ****. Shame he wasn't wearing a bucket hat!

It's still in the post from E bay goom.
