I don't expect that they are looking for large operating profits. Just enough to keep the wheels greased. I think they anticipate the value of the club growing over a ten year period and that being the return they are looking for. Remember 'expert opinion' was that Roman had overpaid at about £140m.

Police waiting for us on the runway as we walked to the terminal and greeted by gorgeous blonde policewomen, in that beautiful accent "welcome to Sweden, the pubs are this way"

I expect the American investments into football clubs is entirely centred around leveraging future TV deals, its where the big money is for the NBA, NFL etc and has increased massively over the past decade or so. What we will see s the big, US owned clubs will be pushing for new models, new TV deals in areas, changes to the way the money is distributed etc. Basically expect pushes by the big clubs for big changes, similar to what we have already seen in the Superleague bullsh*t.

I can't shake the belief that the super league stuff was a double gambit in the eyes of some clubs. If they got away with it then yippee! If not, it serves as a good stalking horse for the new CL format. I'm surprised how little kick back there has been against uefa's plans for the Champions League.

Its looking more and more like a land grab isnt it, a bit of sleight of hand. Show a bad superleague, accept it wont happen while in the background sneak in a load of the things Superleague was going to have anyway.

The ESL was among other things a reaction to UEFAs new Champions League format. The ESL and UEFA are still bitter enemies and Agnelli and the lads who's still working for the ESL isn't giving up. Didn't love the ESL (didn't hate it as much as some others did either) but UEFA's holier than thou attitude is ridiculous.

The "reward" money even for finishing bottom means there may aswell be no relegation, as we see with Fulham, Norwich and Watford constantly bouncing back to the point even their fans are getting bored.

Yea, it’s bad news really, no idea what they are thinking with this one, Paul Mitchell of Monaco seemed like a better idea.

I agree that it would be nice if they gave a general statement including their plans. Don’t know about Tuchel, who has done well imo but, if they don’t back Emma Hayes and the women team who have won all in England, I’d be worried.
