i've read multiple articles and still can't tell if that sale of barcelona studio was the 4th "lever" or if that 4th lever is coming up. and whether that 4th lever was what allowed the others to be registered or if it's to register kounde and buy alonso.
The fourth lever was the sale of the second 25% of Barca studios which is complete and reviewed by La Liga Hence they can register the players
that's this last one, right? barca studio to orpheus media for 100? that means they need to do yet another to get kounde to register and do alonso, right? do i have this correct? 1: 10% of TV rights. 2: 15% of TV rights. 3: 49% of merchandising group. or am i missing one?
1: 10% of TV rights. ----> Sixth Street 2: 15% of TV rights. ----> Sixth Street 3: 24.5% Barca studios ----> Socios 4. 24.5% Barca studios ----> Orpheus I think for the rest they will just exit players e.g if as rumoured, they were to sell De Jong and Auba to Chelsea, that could be 100m+ in fees and payroll
oh! okay, i mistakenly thought this was a different unit than the merchandising arm they sold off to socios and i thought that one was already 49. frustrating as aubameyang being sold for a fee would be, it would be almost comical/sad that he had been pining for barcelona/real madrid for so long to finally get it and they move him on after 1/2 season.
if romano is to be believed, they pulled out of chasing arnautovic because their fans were mad, which . . . oof.
They're going to want to burn them on a pyre after this disaster. I have to admit, I thought they'd struggle in the early going this season before coming together somewhere before the midpoint to make a run. But looking at the level of disorganization here, I'm not too sure that's going to be the case. They are way behind where I thought they'd be, not even competitive. Which is great news, of course.
Lisandro Martinez subbed off at half time. Played a part in giving up the second goal, and easily beaten to a header at the back post on the fourth. either we dodged a bullet not signing him, or the intent all along was to bid up his price for Yanited.
