Zapping But! Football Club PSG – GOAL INFO! : The Zidane dream, the alternative Tale and close duel for Pogba
The LFP and its clubs continue to welcome the billion and a half euros that CVC will pay them to acquire 13.04% of the commercial company that the League will set up. PSG will recover €200 million in history, OM and PSG €90 million, Nice, Rennes and Lille €80 million, the others just over €30 million, all payable in three instalments with a first payment in July. Everything is for the best in the best of all worlds? This is the question Philippe Auclair asked himself. The Eurosport journalist interviewed several players in the case and in particular looked at how it had gone for CVC’s other partners in the world of sport.
Here is the main negative point: “Some F1 teams have complained that CVC has put undue pressure on their sport by wanting to maximize its return on investment at every opportunity, whether by systematically favoring pay-TV channels when it was necessary to choose a broadcaster or by encouraging the “circus” of Formula 1 to set up its tent in the countries offering the highest bids, without worrying about the ethical dimension of these choices. Like Bob Fernley, former vice-sporting director of Force India , confided to the British journalist James Corbett, “all their actions were aimed at extracting as much money as possible from the sport by putting as little as possible into it themselves”.
Fans who hope to see league matches in the clear may have to wait a long time…
