Mange gode spørsmål fra Hay - og Marathe svarer de riktige tingene. Man vil jo lure på om det er løgn og halvsannheter, men hittil har han ikke blitt tatt i sånt...
Jeg tar nå med dette i alle fall:
So, for example, this club is and will forever be Leeds United Football Club. It’s not going to be the Leeds Red Bulls. To be fair, they understand that. They appreciate that. They respect that. They know the legacy of this club, so it’s not something they wanted either. But for me, that was table stakes (a minimum requirement for a business arrangement). That’s not going to happen.
https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/football/team/leeds-united/Hay: What are we actually talking about in terms of stake size? And how much is this worth to the club in terms of shirt sponsorship? What are the figures?
What influence will Red Bull have in the running of the club, then? And will it be represented on the Leeds board?
Hay: Will you interlink with their other clubs? One of the big issues has been the trade of players between Salzburg and Leipzig, which hasn’t gone down well with Salzburg’s fans. Will there be interaction, or will they be kept as separate entities?
Hay: You’ll be aware of the criticism of Red Bull, and some of its history in football. Did that potentially dissuade you from partnering with the company? Did it come up in discussion?
Hay: Do those same red lines apply to shirt colour, stadium naming rights, and so on — the things Red Bull has changed elsewhere?
Hay: Does Red Bull understand that, though — that it’s all non-negotiable from your perspective?
Hay: Your own takeover started with minority investment and proceeded towards a full buy-out. How can you reassure people who wonder whether that’s ultimately where this is going to lead — Red Bull starting at minority level but taking a majority stake?
Hay: What do you anticipate to be the fans’ reaction to this? From a financial point of view, they’ll understand the level of sponsorship. But the identity of the investors themselves could be a problem.
Hay: A last question that people would probably appreciate having answered. There are lots of parties and individuals involved in the 49ers Enterprises group. Who now has tangible control over the policies and direction of the club? Who actually has a say in where the club are going?
