Subject: I err on the 'plaything' side – I am no property developer but with the sums invested, not sure I see a property development return to the Khans that would get close to recouping their investment. Profits/recovery may be possible on an exit if EPL clubs seize control of TV rights - which is why the US PE houses have been interested – but that is by no means a given. Owning an EPL club is great for profile and other soft benefits – and maybe that is enough for the time being
In reply to: eganonoa 's message, "There's definitely an aspect of a somewhat "safe" investment in the sense of rising asset values (both of owning such a great bit of land in London and rising values of Premier League clubs generally). But sports isn't exactly a guaranteed winner in comparison to returns from other investments someone of SK's wealth could make. Think of it like his yacht, but with the added bonus of him using his money to build his son's career as a sports owner. Constructive fun" on Wednesday, November 20, 11:17:16am

  • Nothing is guaranteed, AEW is worth $2bn (Forbes), huge financial success, Jags purchased for 700m, worth $4bn, the khans have done outstandingly out of their sports investments, I reckon FFC just hasn’t worked out just yet in pure money, but getting in to UK market and spreading the jags internationally is a huge benefit. Hugely wealthy don’t just fritter money away on things, it’s not like they’re life long FFC fans with a huge passion for football like Roman.

  • But maybe they have learnt to love it in the way eg the Wrexham guys have learnt to love it - TK does come across as genuine in terms of the excitement he gets from his involvement - the ownership has also increased the Khan profile globally and that may well have a positive impact on their other business interests. As said above – it may be that they realise a profit on their exit but I suspect only if the TV distribution model is changed drastically. Until then – a bit of fun (NT) -- f bloke, Wednesday, November 20, 03:12:46pm (host86-134-9-66.range86-134.btcentralplus.com/86.134.9.66)
