Worth remembering Newcastle Football Club were acquired in 2021 for £305m! - £305m: Newcastle United (October 2021 - £240m: Ipswich Town (March 2024) - £200m: Chelsea Women (May 2025) Fascinating

Fascinating deal. Two takes here: 1. Chelsea's £200m "valuation" on the Women's team appears to be... accurate! 2. On their last set of accounts Chelsea Women posted £11m in revenue. Cant help but feel that his is a high multiple on earnings for a Woman's Football Team

Chris Eubank Junior made over £10m for the Conor Benn fight. A powerful snippet explaining the painful, but lucrative rehydration clause. (Per @StevenBartlett)

Laporta is fantastic at deal-making. Their performances on the pitch however mask a very precarious financial position off-the-pitch. A far cry from their rivals in Madrid who are: - Flourishing financially - Have an excellent stadium - Manage to sign top players every season

Barcelona are struggling. Despite their impressive season, off-the-pitch they are struggling financially. In the last few years, President Joan Laporta has made a series of desperate business deals to keep the club afloat. A thread of his most important financial plays 🧵
