I'm just not down with this idea that you buying players guaranteed improvement.. We did very well with this team for 18 games last season and I firmly believe they're capable of a nice little run or two
RedBall Acquisition and a little bit of Staveley/Reubens? I could get on board. We wouldn’t be the richest club in the world, but I feel we would be well run.
What I do question is how this guy is getting such information. Why would that leak to him? Ref the other buyer. Ashley doesn't like that ****
RedBall raised £421.7m ($575m) in its initial public offering (IPO) last summer and sought to raise another £697m ($950m) through Redbird Capital Partners and other private outside investment in its second run to try and raise as much almost $1bn.
RedBall, due to the nature of a SPAC, had 24 months after the initial IPO to find a home for their investors cash. Should that clock run out then the money is handed back.
