Meet The Real Life Ted Lasso Team

[geedub]

This is new to me (from a month ago on Linkedin)
https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/ur ... 337816064/

It suggests that Ramayana have now appointed Pinto Capital LLP to "explore all options for strategic partnership and investment opportunities" (seems like a clearer indication of the intention to wholly sell the club.)

No real info about Pinto Capital out there - their website is just a basic one pager:
https://www.pintocapitaluk.com/ ("buy a club, sell a club, lend to a club")
Laurie Pinto appears to be a experienced sports financier https://www.beautifulgamegroup.com/laurie-pinto

Let's hope they can help identify a suitable new owner and have properly managed Ramayana's expectations on the realisable value...

Did anyone else notice the “multi million pound investment in infrastructure and operations”?

Were the brothers at the game today?

Nope. Unsurprisingly no sign of them.

thanks for the reply. Maybe they are on holiday? I can't remember them missing many games last season so surely we will see them soon?

I think it may be a long holiday.

From what I understand they are actively trying to sell the club at a price to get some of their investors money back.
Whilst the current situation continues there is unlikely to be any further investment and so Jules has to manage a much reduced budget from last season.
To change this situation it would seem that a change of ownership is required and hopefully sooner than later.
There are those who might know more than me so perhaps a more informative comments might be forthcoming?

I wouldn't expect they could get much if anything back. Even the brothers seem to accept this in one of their interviews

The brothers are tight-lipped on exactly how much they paid for the club but are keen to stress that nobody made money from the acquisition and the investment is “working capital” going straight into the club.

They say getting to that point requires “lighting the fire” with initial investment capital. They intend to invest “multiple millions” over the next few years, which goes a long way at this level.

Of course, unlikely at this point they will follow up with the multiple millions.

I understand the club were expecting the brothers to keep a lower profile this season but to attend some matches. Perhaps they will attend in disguise. One thought was to track their attendance but I know they don't like publicity

[KewBeaver]

I see Ted Lasso has been commissioned for a fourth series by Apple TV. [the third series was expected to be the final series].
Maybe this will spark further interest around #HAMRICH ?

Perhaps the club are steering away from the Ted Lasso links, I'd have thought they club would have acknowledged it by now.

Well they approached Sam Cox about the managers job, I'm sure nothing to do with him playing a character in the last series of Ted Lasso.
