Faktas, kad Kataras ar tokie dalbajobai kaip Boehly nėra išeitis, bet neslėpsiu, kad būtų smagu pagaliau nusikratyt tą ubagų etiketę. Nebeįtikina FSG manęs kaip owneriai ir bbž kokia dalis tų investicijų nugultų Liverpūlį, o kokia Las Vegase (NBA projektėlis su Bronium).

So, on the prospective owners thing, and this is from professional experience, IF the club are for sale, as in, the entire entity, the big fear is petrostate interest, and of course you can’t rule out but some things to consider. There is a reason that the ADUG (kalbama apie Abbu Dhabi United Group) went for Man City and NOT Man United, same goes for Newcastle and to extent Qatar with PSG (although my knowledge is limited on the last one).

Man City, at the time (Thaksin) there was potential to build a poorly managed club with a potentially big footprint at a cut price was more attractive than already buying a club that was world renowned. To be seen to revive and exponentially grow a club and be THE story of a revival v purchasing a giant, what’s to gain? United will always be bigger than the owners, why not become THE story? Be able to shape a club in your own image? Newcastle offered a similar opportunity.

What’s to gain by buying a ‘super giant’ especially one that at the time was a well oiled machine? Remember when Qatar ploughed a fortune into Barca in the form of sponsorship?

It’s a similar reason why naming rights deal only ever offer value with new stadia, where to Arsenal and City play? Do know anyone who calls Barca’s stadium the ‘Spotify Nou Camp’? Anfield will always just be called Anfield regardless of what naming deal they ever get offered. So, what, apart from vanity, would a petrostate gain from owning an already established giant? They’d NEVER be the story which is kind of the entire point and the risk if it goes south, well... Abu Dhabi and Saudi Arabia had nothing to lose with MCFC and NUFC. Owning MUFC/Barca/Bayern/LFC you can only (as we have seen) only ever fail as owners.

Also, the cost aspect, City went for $212m, Newcastle £300m only last year. Liverpool, at a conservative estimate, are worth £4bn, probably more, and the fans (same as MUFC,) are far more political and expect excellence that has to be maintained. Any new owner would NOT be starting from a low base, they would not have a grateful fanbase with low expectations, it could be very expensive and very bruising for no real gain from a sportswashing POV, imagine being charged with tarnishing an already historic club?

PSG is, from what I can tell, a little different, but again, was purchased for €100m and is seen as a luxury brand (tickets range from $188-2000) and also doesn’t have reputationally significant rivals in France and are inextricably linked to Qatar.

2020/2021 sezonas tikrai underwhelming buvo, tai tokius skaičius 2021 metais išspaust yra wow. Tas gamble su Nike (pasiimti mažesnę metinę sumą už marškinėlius ir prisirišti prie % nuo pardavimų), akivaizdu, pasiteisino. Žymiai didesnis tinklas nei NB, kurie nuo vėlyvo rudens iki pat sezono pabaigos praktiškai nebeturėdavo ką parduot, su stock'u didelės problemos pastoviai būdavo.

Iš finansinės pusės ir pasiūlos kiekio pasiteisino, bet iš dizaino pusės NB myliomis labiau classy ir sexy aprangas kūrė. Gaila, kad negalima visko kartu gauti.
