[Football] US company buys 25% stake in Bournemouth

[Lyndhurst 14]

Apologies if fixtures

US company Peak 6 buys stake in Bournemouth

 

[Notters]

Do they know that they're not actually a shampoo manufacturer, despite appearances?

 

[Tony Meolas Loan Spell]

Private Equity? Their job will be to sell to the highest bidder in a max of 5 years, that's the VC model...if they can stay up of course.

I hope they've done more due diligence than Venky's and realise that, unlike the US major leagues, relegation is a distinct possibility.

If you add parachute payments to USA money Eddie Howe will be in a good position to get promoted back next season from The Championship.

Isn't the idea that Venky's thought there could be no relegation an urban myth? These companies spend tens of thousands on lawyers, it's highly unlikely that wouldn't have been noticed

That's going to end in tears, the parachute money will be needed to pay off the wages of all the players they signed and it is quite easy to see them back in financial strife

If you add parachute payments to USA money Eddie Howe will be in a good position to get promoted back next season from The Championship.

12 out of 15 clubs over the last 5 seasons (80%) will tell you that it isn't quite that simple....

Oh dear.
Good bye Bournemouth
