    I read it that they want the money to invest in new sports clubs/franchises. Doubt any existing “franchises” will gain any benefit whatsoever.

    What is your opinion on Sabitzer? I read a story the other day saying we should go for him as he will only have 12 months on his contract come the summer. Seems to get a few goals and assists

    On FSG’s shopping wish list are NFL and NBA franchises, another European soccer club, NHL, MLS, WNBA, and NWSL teams, plus sports betting, esports, and data analytics companies.
    The RedBird cash infusion will give the firm an 11 percent stake of FSG, which will have an enterprise value of approximately $7.35 billion. FSG will have $600 million-$700 million in debt, with more than $600 million cash going out to existing partners.


    ...and that is from the FSG owned Boston Globe..

    Yep. What they need to remember is that to maintain the value of their sports franchises, they need success on the pitch.

    And like most big businesspeople, they will strive to do so as cheaply as possible, something that causes issues in 'normal' businesses e.g. an item of food not tasting as good as it did due to cheaper ingredients, never mind in a sport where in this day and age the teams that win the biggest prizes on a regular basis nearly always tend to be those who invest the most in their teams/squads.

    If they don't invest heavily in the next window, i will start to fall on the side of those on here who doubted their commitment in the first place.
    If you're not sure what to do with the ball, just put it in the net, and we'll talk about the other options later... Bob Paisley.

    Well if the rumours are true we are interested in a Sheffield United player Sander Berg .Seems like a cheaper option allround.
    If Man-city end up with Haaland. then we may as well surrender. Hes bound to get them 20+ goals.
    Cleaning up the Scots since the 13th century

    The way things are going we're more likely to re-sign Sander Westerveld.

    Klopps comments today would suggest there isn’t anything to spend in the summer
