The Red Robin said:Bit of a mixed record with Cal McNair at the Texans. Very strange when he first inherited them. Hired a guy called Jack Easterby who I believe was a former chaplain and pretty much gave him control of the organisation and he made some bizarre decisions, lost a lot of good coaches and players and also had to deal with their quarterback sexually assaulting several massage therapists.Since then… they look like they’ve got their sh!t together and have a good head coach and young quarterback, one of the best defenses in the league and are playoff bound.I’d take his money but wouldn’t want him having too much influence on the club.
Guess it's one like Woody Johnson and Palace where their previous records in sports are a bit questionable but if they don't have that much influence (I'd assume Friedman, Brener and Rosenfeld would still be the largest shareholders) so someone like McNair would only be a similar percentage to them.2 -

Actually 43 of the top 50 teams are from the US - it may explain why so many Americans take a punt with their loose change in English football.

Oh Woody Johnson is another level. The man is a disaster. Hopefully that rubs off on Palace.MarcusH26 said:The Red Robin said:Bit of a mixed record with Cal McNair at the Texans.

I do get however that an upcoming game against Chelsea might help reel in a few unsuspecting / uneducated investors.

From an online search he’s quite a fan of Charlie Kirk. Wouldn’t have expected him to know so much about an Altrincham winger. This and a couple of other things lead me to believe there’s not much substance in this rumour.10

That's a worry because Kirk is a write off. Not even scoring at Altrinchham 0 goals from 9.Weegie Addick said:From an online search he’s quite a fan of Charlie Kirk.

And a salary cap. It means that they generate real profits. No NFL owner is subsidizing the club, he’s raking in cash.Rothko said:

Philadelphia Eagles - ahead of Real Madrid and Man Utd?
It’s not on commercial / sponsorship revenue. Data from my business doesn’t put any NFL team anywhere near the top global football / soccer properties. Not even close.
It’s not on global merch sales. NFL isn’t anywhere near as popular as the EPL or LaLiga globally.
Fanbase size? We measure multiple datapoints across search, social and survey data and the Eagles are nowhere.
So how is this valuation met?

They claim to base a lot of this off of media rights deals which seems iffy as a methodology.1 -

Reams on other forum saying cal mcnair has put 20 million in to club for transfers this winter window and next summer15

It's possible we have a war chest for transfers and are trying to keep a low profile to prevent paying exorbitant fees. However the grapevine will tell other clubs if true.2

Realistically how much do we need to spend, to stay in this division?0

Well we’re currently 5 points clear with a game in hand with a starting 11 a lot of the time that barely cost anything as the players we spent money on rarely see to play. I think being realistic if we could sign two decent players in positions we need and get a decent loan in then we could be ok so around £5m?Mendonca In Asdas said:Realistically how much do we need to spend, to stay in this division?0 -

I think this is the interesting point and why I think the additional investment is probably more about finding some additional financial " muscle" as opposed to anything ground related. Not saying the current ownership group don't have it but adding what I would guess would be a fourth " major" investor to join the main 3.ForeverAddickted said:Mendonca In Asdas said:Realistically how much do we need to spend, to stay in this division?A f**king lot... and whats worse, we need to keep spending that sort of money just to tread water no doubt.TransferMarkt suggests that Oxford spent £3m alone on De Keersmaecker, and look where they are
It's about going from the bottom group of clubs where £3m is seen as a big chunk of change for a player like Oxford with De Keersmaker (club record I believe??) or us with Kelman to that middle tier where you might spend £5-8m on a player once a window and probably look at a £15-20m window outlay in total. I don't expect if this all comes to fruition that we suddenly go full Birmingham or Wrexham in transfer outlay and splash £10m on a striker from the Netherlands or something. But I would expect the current transfer record to be smashed because it would have to be to not stand still at this level.

Excited to see who this rumoured £10m Dutch striker is.12

Well considering we got the likes of Carey, Bell, for free and spent 3.3M on Tanto and Knibbs technically not a lot if we get the right playersMendonca In Asdas said:Realistically how much do we need to spend, to stay in this division?2 -
Would you say on current output (of not even being in the first 11 most games) that Tanto and Knibbs are the required quality?Crispywood said:

More to football than that, which is why we've lost most of the games he's scored in and doesn't start most games.fenlandaddick said:

I’m not saying he gets everything right as an ITK (who does) but he seems to have hit the target a few times in the not too distant past if I remember correctly. Don’t ask me for specifics though I’m not a member on the other site and I can’t be bothered to search back even if it’s possible.SoundAsa£ said:

It does seem there is a section on here that just won’t have him, whether he’s right or wrong. I find that odd if any info is good or beneficial to us all being a little more in the know.SID said:
