Player Valuation: £80m
It doesn't seem like refinance when FSG have assets of RS, RedSox and NESN tv network which are worth $9 billion combined, Man City did the same when they sold 13% (£265 million) of City group to a Chinese media consortium in 2018 and they sold 10% of City group to Silverlake last season for $500 million.
What it tells me is RedBird who are a media and sports consortium who recently bought 10% of the NY Yankees YES tv network which Abu Dhabi investment fund also owns 10% of, and the 2 deals City have done to 2 media companies is, individual tv contracts are coming soon, it could be the revamped CL in 2024 when that happens, and eventually the European Super League The companies have bought in early for a reason while it's cheap, it is going to happen especially when the "SKY6" are getting a bigger slice of the international pot of PL tv revenues which is getting the ball rolling.
Once clubs with the worldwide appeal have their own TV contracts, it's printing money for them as they can tap into, set a price and take advantage of fans willing to pay and these owners and shareholders will have a massive exponential asset growth.
I think the business was valued at 7bn, or 5bn pounds.
You're right though, they are hedging the companies grow. In Citys case it will be due to owners spending more, for Liverpool they re banking on FSG running things more frugally/profitably.
