We may not get anyone for months or years. I imagine not a lot of people want to buy a club right before a recession. Lots of links, but we could still be run by FSG this time next year.
Croatian defender Gvardiol - "From a young age I watched Liverpool games with my dad and I grew up with just them.... I definitely want the Premier League and Liverpool move one day". Sven Mislintat lined up as candidate for Sporting Director role, worked with Klopp at Dortmund and still good friends ....
If he is in any way responsible for the assembly line of world class talent before they're famous at Dortmund... I'm ok with that.
Hmm, I dunno. Something spooked United into diving in when they did. I think there's a big beast out there, and maybe they were inclining towards Liverpool, but United are obviously very confident they'll get them, otherwise, they'll look total twats shouting "We're here too!" like a prozzie on Huskisson St (so I'm told) seeing another streetwalker about to get into a Bentley.
Man U will end up with either Ratcliffe or Apple. I suspect Ratcliffe as he seems serious about them and would be willing to pay what the Glazers want. Apple I guess are proabably looking more from the business angle and would want to negotiate them down as that makes business sense.
If they get Apple they've seriously won the lottery. They'll never be short of money, they'll have no debt and Apple will want them right and forefront of every competition wearing their brand. They'll be bigger than Real, and I say that without any hyperbole whatsoever. And Apple will be able to put the whole cost of it all against tax for advertising expenses. But I'm ****ing cancelling Apple+ and I'll ignore any calls family and friends make to me on apple phones. And I'll chop my apple tree down.
You might get credit for aubameyang and maybe Lewandowski but he left there in 2015 so..... who the **** knows.
Well the thing is all these companies are losing money aren't they? Apple ain't Disney but have flirted with a lot of loss aiming businesses like apple TV and cars etc. Buying a football team would absolutely make zero sense. Thry don't even sponsor any???
I don't know. Apple would certainly mean they can float in any recession, but I doubt they would try buying the league like City. They're a business, not a charity.
I think Glazers, just like FSG know there is a recession around the corner and it will be a long time before the clubs are as valuable again in the future as they are now. In a recession if you're wealthy the best way to make money is buying all the businesses that couldn't survive the recession but could have long term profitability. Buy all your neighbours houses when they lose their jobs and charge them rent! Spending 4 billion gobbling up little companies during the recession could earn you 20 billion when it ends. 4 billion locked in a football club won't earn you anything and will take years for club to be worth that again. I think the owners realise now is their last chance to make mega profits until the next boom cycle.
Well they are years late in realising it then lol. The only people willing will be megalomaniac and despots who don't care about recessions and only care about rep
