The Rybovolev craic must be bollocks mind, he can't surely be the president of Monaco and have a share in us?
He doesn't own Monaco. His Daughter does. He can invest in another football club and be president of another.
Only if both teams were in Europe would there be an issue. Which were a long long long way from that. Watford owners own Udinese and Granada. Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig. Man city group own about 9 clubs but in Europe they also have minority share in Girona in Spain.
Got about 3 hours before I get my head down. Expecting some further good news tonight now. Probably not sleeping either way.
From Wkpedia Ekaterina Dmitrievna Rybolovleva (born 4 June 1989, in Perm, Soviet Union) is a businesswoman, equestrian and socialite. She is the daughter of Russian entrepreneur, Dmitry Rybolovlev.[1] A keen competitor in equestrian competitions around the world,[2] she is also the owner of several businesses and properties, including those on the islands of Skorpios and Sparti. Rybolovleva is the owner of football club AS Monaco FC via a trust in her name although her father serves as the president.[3]
You can add incentives that don’t count towards wage bills, like cup progression, promotion, goals scored the list is pretty big, such as the 3 year contract, if we are in the championship we guarantee you x
even so, he owns Cercle Bruges and it wouldn’t stop him owning us. Can only own one club in UEFA competition but if that becomes a problem it will be a nice one.
Yeah but he'd only be an investor. He wouldn't be the owner. For that he would have to be the majority shareholder.
Ex MD, joined us from Spurs. He used to work in the SAFC ticket office back in the day and dress up as a big black cat on match days... He went to my school, year above!
How big is this final hurdle is it like Richard Hammond trying to jump over Richard Osman or like Noel Edmonds trying to jump over a fence?
