• £1.75 billion of funding over the next ten years legally guaranteed.

Todd_Boehly:
"There will be a reorganisation of the #English football league. The opportunity to turn this into a really more valuable asset is available."
"The 'Big Six' will become the 'Big Seven' with the Saudi deal for #Newcastle. We believe there is going to be opportunity for everyone to win."
"If you look at the models that are very successful, Liverpool is a great model. Liverpool generates a couple of hundred million more revenue than #Chelsea and they generate earnings, so I think there is an opportunity to compete."
Todd Boehly on potential for football's growth:
"There are four billion fans of European football. There are 170 million fans of NFL. The NFL generates $15BN of media money every year. Global club football is a fraction of the NFL media money."
"We think the way those clubs go to market is years behind the US model. We think the global footprint of this sport is really undeveloped."
#ToddBoehly on competing with other clubs for players:
"[More teeth] means financial penalties and disqualification from sporting competitions."
"Financial fair play is starting to get some teeth and that will limit ability to acquire players at any price. UEFA takes it seriously and will continue to take it seriously."
