What penalty clauses are there on the JP Morgan financing now this has been abandoned https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="đŸ€”" title="Denkendes Gesicht" aria-label="Emoji: Denkendes Gesicht">

If none, why not?
Where are the contracts on the financing?

How can a €10bn venture collapse in under 48hrs after going off so half-cocked?

Why would it have such a poxy website?

If so, cui bono?

Hard to say, but this Milan fan group is the only one to have focused on the bigger picture: https://mobile.twitter.com/immolations/status/1384565833511411720">https://mobile.twitter.com/immolatio...

Liverpool’s sponsor @TribusWatches who ostentatiously curtailed their partnership last night, have overlooked actually going through with it on their website: https://tribus-watches.com/pages/liverpool-fc">https://tribus-watches.com/pages/liv...

What contractual grounds would they have anyway?

Still, all good publicity for a start-up.

It’s a very good question.

And the lack of punishment that likely results will tell its own tale. https://mobile.twitter.com/KieranMaguire/status/1384845604120055812">https://mobile.twitter.com/KieranMag...
Overall this piece is a bit erratic, but makes a key point regarding the absence of a German team.

With no guaranteed French involvement either, it excludes 2 of the continent’s 3 biggest economies.

And that’s before we consider The Times’ claim that founding clubs would receive from £89m to £310m for signing up.

It defies logic that any club involved (except Spurs) would accept receiving ÂŁ220m lower than others from the off, with further huge payment disparities to come.

Goldman Sachs’ former Asset Management chairman calls ESL “one of the most ridiculous proposals I’ve ever seen in my life”.

The finances simply didn’t stack up. It’s inconceivable it could get signed off.
All sorts of politically-connected folk are coming out of the woodwork.

This Chicago-based rapper has tweeted “Love Utd Hate Glazer” to his 8.2m followers.

The ESL in-all-but-name that got through relatively unnoticed on Monday in the midst of the media maelstrom: https://mobile.twitter.com/dalejohnsonespn/status/1385533105021280258?s=24">https://mobile.twitter.com/dalejohns...
W& #39;ward was summoned to No.10 supposedly to discuss “Covid restrictions and the return of fans" - 2 issues which are long settled.

The meeting& #39;s minutes have not been released.

RI hears Dan Rosenfield, Johnson& #39;s chief-of-staff, is "friendly" with Wward. https://twitter.com/RedIssue/status/1385335435568762881">https://twitter.com/RedIssue/...
But this clearly wasn’t a social visit, so what was it?

Might W’ward and Rosenfield have a much longer working relationship than is immediately apparent?

Rosenfield was a senior bod at long-term Glazer backer Merrill Lynch:
JP Morgan was supposedly financing the ESL.

Jim O’Neill asked “How on earth did such an experienced CEO [...] let this proposal get to where it got?”

Its Board is a who’s who of entities involved and massively capitalising on the Covid and Lockdown:
Lee Raymond represents Big Oil, with Exxon’s obvious Rockefeller links, which extend into every aspect of Big Pharma and The Great Reset:
Virginia Rometty has a vested interest in football clubs embracing The New Normal whilst, of course, IBM have a long history of state-led surveillance:
If The New Normal dictates no return to pre-March ‘20 normality, & The Great Reset = continuation of Covid’s biggest upwards transfer of wealth ever, does this lead to govt imposing a degree of fan ownership at inflated market rates?

Billionaire class cashes in, public loses out
Liverpool is an interesting one.

Their owner Fenway has all sorts of ties:
Chairman Tom Werner owns the second largest block of shares in Fenway.

He pocketed $925m off NBCUniversal, whose own Chairman Steve Burke sits on JP Morgan’s Board.

JP Morgan themselves are also @wef partners:
The billionaire Alfond brothers are partners in Fenway and major stock holders in Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, which also owns Geico.

Geico CEO Todd Combs is a Berkshire Hathaway investment manager and JP Morgan Board member:
Spurs owner Joe Lewis has lockdown- and Great Reset-peddling @wef connections too:
It goes without saying that City’s Abu Dhabi owners are fully signed up to The Great Reset.

CEO Al Mubarak also attended Davos in January 2020.
Inter’s owners were bailed out by the Chinese government only last month.

Quid pro quo?
*Slight correction on this one below:

NBCUniversal is owned by Comcast - and it’s they who own Sky. https://mobile.twitter.com/RedIssue/status/1385594674908368898">https://mobile.twitter.com/RedIssue/...
Florentine Perez is the hugely connected owner of Real Madrid, and is bizarrely still banging the drum for the fund-less ESL.

He’s appeared primarily on Prisa outlets in Spain: https://mobile.twitter.com/Millar_Colin/status/1385597016907075594">https://mobile.twitter.com/Millar_Co...
Prisa is another company with overlapping and interconnected interests and ownerships.

Vivendi bought a stake in them in January.

Vivendi are in turn owned by NBC.

Vivendi also have a share of Silvio Berlusconi’s Mediaset - former owners of putative ESL members... AC Milan!
But it doesn’t end there.

Milan’s owner is now billionaire Paul Singer’s Elliott Management, which owns innumerable entities including the Great Reset-tastic Evergreen Coast Capital!

Singer also holds a decent chunk of ... Comcast!

Not once in 17 years has any UK paper done anything like this.

Even though ESL is history they use words like “shabbily dressed”, “skulking” and “reclusive”.

If this clown truly wants to drop a “legislative bomb” to implement the radical, pro-supporter changes required, then it will be a no-recompense nationalisation of 50%+1 of the share capital, not a transfer of public cash to the billionaire gangster classes.
