Peter Lim buys into Salford City F.C.

THE_CHANSTER · Sep 23, 2014

Not content with just buying Valencia, PL has now invested in a club which was recently taken over by a bunch of ex Man Utd players.

I'm not really sure what is the benefit of investing in a football team which plays in the EIGHTH tier of English football. Shouldn't he be putting his money with the FAS and investing in home grown talent at grassroots level?

Really puzzling move but I suppose if you have as much wealth as Lim, you can afford to piss away your fortune.

Don't waste your time with local Mudlay soccer players. PL will be better off giving money to these Char Bo at Hang Flower Joint.
They can run (but not fast), they are fast ( but not fast enough ), they are strong (but not hard rigourous)

apart from hob-nobbing with these popular has-beens, he wants them to make appearances and boost sales for his outlets in asia.
although not his main source/s of income, that's the only publicity he likes, using his loose change...

But local players can do one thing....
Posture like a multi millionaire soccer star....even ape the Ronaldo peacock walk to perfection.

Quite obvious innit?
With man u old boys coaching and his money, salford would go up the leagues. Each time it gets promoted his share value doubles. His investment is not much. Dont think even reach 20mil for this 8yh tier team. Plus revenue from tv rights, jersey sponsor, new stadium, real estate etc
Also with their network they can make youth players go trial with salford before selling to man u for huge transfer fees.

good example of buy low and early, sell high

Valencia have been doing great recently. Have been winning and scoring 3 goals against the lesser teams in La Liga. :biggrin:

But the teams u should be looking out for are the newly promoted, less fancied ones in BPL, La Liga, Bundesliga.

All the things he did show he craved the limelight. Don't be decived by the simple dressing and few words. The 'PL' engraved Bugatti Veyron says it all.
