Pre WC lots of decent journos (on podcasts) were saying they may be looking to sell PSG. Post WC they are saying the opposite and the Olympics have happening in Paris 2024 they feel they will benefit /want to get involved as psg
There is talk of them selling a minority stake already in PSG.

So maybe they hold on to the rest until after the Olympics and then slowly start selling off more and more.
 
Time to calm down.

Hercules has, I shit you not, stated ‘not accurate’ regarding Joe Lewis’ desire to sell up.

Not only has our Greek hero failed to correctly predict a single transfer, but the barely literate booby is now feigning financial ITK.
I already made this joke but like any good comedian who am I to not reuse material that works?

Herc is just scared that he will be sold to the Qataris to fill out their gas reserves considering all of his hot air.

Been a minute lads. Efforts to reduce the old internet consumption come and go.

Anyway, story is the same as it's ever been, the ENIC methodology ran out of runway several years ago, it's fundamentally change, cash out, or fail. The Qatari thing seems like a weird "all of the above", I don't quite get it.
Great post. Simple and to the point.
I could make it briefer by saying “ENIC, shit or get off my toilet” but i prefer your erudite assessment.
 
I wonder if this is anything to do with Lewis making the papers a fair bit recently in Argentina

There’s a lot of very unhappy people & cries of corruption regarding the land grabbing
 
what do/would the Qatar fund (or any other petrol statefund)want to buy a football club for ?
I can see why investors get a club (they hope to make a profit) is that what the petrol state funds want ?
i can see why Abramovich wanted to buy a club ( he wanted the glory, like the old time club owners, local guys made good)

For once I actually agree with him. It completely contradicts everything we know. Besides Joe Lewis hasn’t given an interview in 23 years of owning us but is suddenly going to inform The Mail of his plans. Give over, the journo is taking a massive punt here. It’s bollocks if you think it through.
 
Just looking on Argentinian Twitter feeds it’s seems a fairly dominant subject . Not just him btw but the connected corruption of the Argentinian government & high courts.

As I understand it there was a meeting of a number of judiciary, politicians and others at Lewis ranch relatively recently (not sure he was involved though ) - seems to suggest they were talking about a wide variety of subjects (not Lewis related) that maybe they shouldn't have been colluding on ...... which is why the talk on corruption I suspect.

True but there could be people involved with the process that are trapping. This will involve lawyers and business consultants etc if formalised, broader than Lewis chatting to a Daily Heil journo
