Paris FC - New European Contenders?

[NewGlory]

About to get promoted to Ligue 1. Purchased by LVMH, richest non-country owners in the world, with minority investment from the super-experienced Red Bull Group, who are expected to run the footballing side.

They will be the only other top-flight Parisian club, alongside perennial under-achievers PSG. In comparison, 7 EPL teams are from London, so Paris was supposed to have more choice, anyway.

This has a lot of ingredients to get interesting in the coming years

Aren't there linked to the Bahrain royal family too?

Such an underdog story.

Time to switch horses boys

So instead of an oil state they are backed by brandy, champagne and handbags.

Nice.

Didn’t they have to sell their stake?

Just shows that if you work hard, believe in yourself, and have a giant mountain of cash, you can achieve anything. *wipes tear from eye*

In the absence of Qatar selling up I suppose this is the French league’s best chance to not be a one horse race every season

The phrasing is a bit strange. They are not owned by LVMH, they are owned by Bernard Arnault through his holding company which also owns LVMH.

Agree with this. French laws and taxes will never allow them to be really competitive.

Red Bull is more interested in brand exposure. Catar, well, much more than just a soccer team...

I think this is what Ronaldo was referring to. French football doesnt really have a brand or vision. Saudis are easier to understand, and what they are trying to achieve.

How many clubs are redbull now involved in?

Oil Vs Red Bull, not sure what I'd rather drink less.
