Buying a Second Team Abroad

Post by Burnley87 » Tue Dec 22, 2020 3:05 pm

Just been reading a really good article about City Football Group and how they have chased down Manchester United on the Athletic by buying clubs around the world to develop talent either sell on or Bring into first teams. Added to that in China and Australia they can market City better with the club they have there

Is this the next stage for Burnley and other Premier League clubs to buy Second Tier teams in France, Holland or Belgium. Not only to assist the transition for Brexit but to develop talent easier than loaning players out that can be hit or miss.

Also it means you can get Talent networks into Europe easier and Cross Commercial paths
