I think PE firms will struggle because football brings far more attention to ownership than they can likely handle. Do you think Todd honestly expected this much coverage?
Your performance in the books is genuinely an afterthought—fans don’t care if profit margins have increased or if cash has been used effectively. Performance can also be assessed instantly through league tables, and the valuation of a football club carries high levels of risk. A demotion could likely cut a club’s value in half overnight, especially if they go down for two consecutive seasons.
In short, football clubs are the perfect business ground—failure to innovate can be fatal, and if you don’t spend or invest, you’ll suffer immensely.
Spot on! Football isn’t built for silent investors. The scrutiny is relentless, and let’s be real, Todd definitely didn’t sign up for this level of main character energy.
Keep an eye on Chelsea’s balance sheet. How the owners leverage revenue vs. debt will be telling. You’d hope it funds stadium regeneration or squad investment, but don’t be shocked if it bankrolls something entirely unrelated. Taking a page straight out of the Glazer School of Financial Gymnastics...less about trophies, more about cash flow acrobatics.
Brilliant read!
Thanks dude
