MSP Sports Capital have stakes in: FC Augsburg, AD Alorcon, GD Estoril and SK Beveren

Anyone know anything about them?

The two major shareholders are Jahm Najafi and Jeff Moorad (Moorad Sports Partners).

Both have a background in sports in the states, with Moorad initially being an agent in Baseball, and eventually becoming the CEO of the Arizona Diamonndbacks (where he did a solid job - every year bar one, they improved) and then onto San Diego Padres, where he failed in a bid to buy the club (Ina deal very similar to how @BeardedScotsman has suggested).

Snippet below I’ve previously posted. Doesn’t sound very popular, but gets the job done, and done well.

Najafi, a Wall Street banker I believe, got a knack for turning businesses around and maximising profits.
Believe he’s still got a share of the Phoenix Suns, and nearly took them over when Robert Sarver got a ban for Racism.

I assume the Phoenix connection is where Moorad and Najafi met.

All of the partners are very well educated with a strewn of degrees from the elite US colleges like Harvard.

In terms of clubs, they own a modest collect of huge potential sides like Augsburg, Beveren, Alcorcon.

Najafi I believe is the Vice CEO of McLaren in F1 too.

In all, they may have their eyes on one thing, flipping us for a big profit, but if so, they’ll have turned us round, and I’m all for it.

On Alan Myers Twitter post he says he expects changes in the boardroom.

Oh goody.

Anything less is a false dawn.

Off you pop Messrs Kenwright, Sharp, Barrett-Baxendale and uncle Tom Cobley

 

[Noble Savage]

So 777 weren't outbid but backed out after seeing our accounts.
That's a tad worrying. Also concerning is that MSP will be in effect lending us cash at probably at high interest with shares.

cant quite recall(age!) but isnt this the guy that the Tom Cruise character was based on Jerry Maguire?

I read this somewhere too recently? (age, again, not sure where!)

 

[Trublue12]

I don't think there is anything to get exited about. I doubt that we will, have any money for transfers etc. But maybe we will be at least ran with some, sort an sanity. Get the statium finshed and start to look forward.

SHOW ME THE MONEY !!!!!!

Is that not the way to operate?

We’re not sustainable at any level to spend big, because we’ll we don’t have the resources.

You’d take us getting turned round and ran like a Brighton or Brentford, and then we can look forward.

Never seen it! Apparently it’s based on a fella associated with NFL, who I’ve never heard of

It's never the ones making all the noise. Like prior Moshiri, all the noise was John Moores and Charles Noell. All the leading Everton 'commentators' were saying it was done then out of nowhere, Moshiri.

 

[EFC_FRANCIS]

Is now a good time to mention how multi club ownerships are barely ever a good and positive thing?

What is it with us and former San Diego Padres owners
