Its not even like Burnley have been overspending in the league, and theyve been up for years. Where is it going?

To the previous owners of the club, as leveraged buyouts mean the club has basically bought itself

leveraged buyouts are such a bizarre concept like theoretically I could buy manchester united, using the value of manchester united as the collateral for the massive loan I took out to buy manchester united point being we could all be owners of big time sports teams if we wanted

bewbies posted:leveraged buyouts are such a bizarre concept That’s what a leveraged buyout is. You also get to charge Manchester United for the pleasure of being bought by you with none of your money. Basically there’s a point where money just stops becoming a real thing and you can just do whatever you want.

bewbies posted:leveraged buyouts are such a bizarre concept yeah it rules You tell a bank "I want you to buy Manchester United for me, and in return I will pay you back the entire value of Manchester United plus interest. As collateral, I offer to sell Manchester United if necessary to pay you back." Then they give you the money, the current owner gets paid the actual value of the club so they don't care whether it's cash you had lying around or a loan you secured through this byzantine system, and then you suck out all the profits from Manchester United to pay off the loan you took to buy the club in the first place The trick is not knowing how the system works, the trick is already being rich and connected enough that the bank is willing to give you the money

WSJ says Chelsea sale has closed. Weird that it broke through them, must have come from the US PE side of the deal.

Burnley's mistake was they had cash reserves, which the buyout people could pay straight to the bank towards the loan. Run your companies in the red if you don't want to get eaten alive, idiots.

In case you don't feel like clicking through on an ambiguous "Club Statement," tweetquote:Chelsea Football Club can confirm that terms have been agreed for a new ownership group, led by Todd Boehly, Clearlake Capital, Mark Walter and Hansjoerg Wyss, to acquire the Club.

Its a shame Woodward isn't in charge anymore because he'd panic at that story and immediately offer Pogba a massive payrise and a long term contract.

He has to be the most overrated player in the last decade.

I just saw that MAN United have a goal difference of exactly 1. So if they lose against Crystal Palace it will be lower perhaps even negative after a full season.

Fergie was known to be a big fan of Germans. That's why he signed all of those germans during his 26 years.
