I Googled him and saw the quote below. Make what you will of it but it looks to me that we are definitely entering a new era....
According to Christian Nourry, managing partner at Retexo Intelligence, a football-specialist advisory firm supporting several American investors in club acquisitions, some are rushing in without a coherent plan. “There isn’t a universal definition of success in this field and this is exactly the trap that I see so many investors falling into,” he says.
“They decide that their multi-club structure must be everything at once: producing incredible young players, span multiple markets despite inter-club communication being hindered by genuine language barriers, achieve a style of play that transcends all the clubs they own and see every club they own achieve consistently impressive on-pitch results.
“So many of these objectives are, at least in the early years of a multi-club project, going to be antithetical to each other. My golden rule with a client in this area is: let’s pick a single initial objective, let’s build a strategy that is hyper-focused on constructing the most optimal multi-club configuration to achieve that objective.”
In particular, Textor has focused on investing in clubs with a strong reputation for producing young players and cites the example of Jeffinho – a 23-year-old Brazilian forward who joined Lyon from Botafogo in January for €10m – as an example of how the network can work.
