It ain't what you don't know that gets you into trouble. it's what you know for sure that just ain't so.

@draper_rob @gerardtbaker @thetimes Fifa is protecting itself by passing on potential future losses to PE funds. Moreover every MA has the right to vote and decide it coz its just a proposal at this stage. Isnt everyone jumping the gun too much? Remember Club World Cup, how it started & ended!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@draper_rob @gerardtbaker @thetimes India fifa rights went down from 62mn to one third of the same & more so for China. Europe is in an existential crisis just see Ligue1 as a sample! Start facing the music sooner rather than later!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@draper_rob @gerardtbaker @thetimes Its not rising thats where you are clueless. Fifa is ring fencing the downside protection as it can see the writing on the wall which youll cant see. Those glory days are long gone & so are the Gulf monies. If losses arise it would be to PE not Fifa!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@draper_rob @gerardtbaker @thetimes But if you have zilch idea about the current evolving media rights sports market then being a keyboard warrior is simply not good enough! Any clue what happened with the fifa wc sales process in China & India?

@JacobsBen Have u ever put together a business plan for PE investment in your life? If you would have done that then you wouldn't be putting out this stupid post!

@MichaelRPayne1 Kindly define blindsided.

@henrywinter Remember the club world cup and what happened at the end. Too much brouhaha as usual from western journos who have nothing else to do but ride the coat tails of @UEFA !

Da Austrália para a Índia 🇧🇷🇮🇳

A agenda da Seleção Brasileira continua.

Depois dos amistosos na Austrália, nosso próximo destino será a Índia, onde escreveremos um capítulo inédito da nossa história.

No dia 3 de outubro, a Seleção entrará em campo pela primeira vez em solo indiano, no Estádio Salt Lake, em Kolkata.

Será um encontro especial com um país que abriga o maior público internacional da Seleção Brasileira e que, há gerações, acompanha de perto a história do futebol brasileiro com enorme carinho e paixão.

Estamos ansiosos para viver esse momento ao lado de milhões de torcedores indianos!

Nos vemos em Kolkata. 🇮🇳🤝🇧🇷

@draper_rob @UEFA was he able to take on his fellow member Khelaifi?

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@martynziegler @nickdemarco_ Time for everyone to face the hardcore reality! Media rights income is on a slippery slope check what happened with China, India in last cycle! Gulf monies will disappear from sponsorship following war! So whats the option left other than a valuation game!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@draper_rob @lbertozzi @SophiaCai99 What was the total media rights value from Europe? USA starting bid will be 2bn next cycle. And who were the major sponsors & how many European companies in it? Uefa should smell the leather!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@JacobsBen Remember the fifa club world cup, didnt @UEFA object tooth n nail but when the 1bn prize money came the clubs came with their tails between their legs! This will meet the same fate!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@indykaila He as usual was dawdling on the ball for eternity and God knows why he is cribbing now!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@StanCollymore If Uefa wanted then would Cape Verde have happened? So stop eulogising them!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@NickAmes82 What about Uefa and what have they been doing with its competitions? Peas of the same pod!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@Ant1Duval Have u forgotten the fundamental question? In key markets media rights value is collapsing across the board & Fifa is seeing the writing on the wall and trying to ring fence its future revenues now!

[Ayan Chakraborty @ayanc_99]

@MarkKleinmanSky He is a clever guy. Media rights is on a slippery slope in Europe and Asia.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of the legendary Kevin Keegan and mourn his loss. His indomitable spirit and remarkable contribution will be forever etched in our history and his legacy will live on.

Rest in peace, Kevin. 1951-2026
