CONFIMRED - The final countdown

[Sutekh]

OK so what’s the betting, with our luck, that this just gets adjourned possibly until some point after the end of the season?

Which season?

Sounds like Platek is selling his shares in Casa Pia to John Textor.

Doesn’t really sound like building a multi club “empire” then does it (assuming the deal for Reading happens).

Will be interesting to see if this does happen, I would argue we definitely should have a higher ceiling that Casa Pia considering the English league system just flat out has more cash in it, perhaps explaining why he would go all in on us.

Where have you heard this?

If true, would suggest, if still in the picture, he plans on focussing purely on us.

It was on Foot Biz email:

John Textor is hoping he can finally manage to acquire a Portuguese team for his Eagle Football group.

The American’s multi-club operation got its name because Textor had launched it with proposed investments in Crystal Palace and Benfica, both nicknamed the Eagles.

However, his offer to buy 25% of Benfica in July 2021 was rejected by the club’s management.

Subsequent legal issues at the club made Textor’s attempts to invest in the club impossible and he moved on, eventually acquiring Lyon from long-time owner Jean-Michel Aulas.

Reports in Portugal suggest that Textor is now getting closer to acquiring upstart club Casa Pia, known as the Geese, who sit in sixth place and are battling for a European spot.

Casa Pia were only promoted to the top flight in 2023 after an 83-year absence from Portugal’s elite but have played good football under a succession of exciting young coaches, including Manchester United’s new head coach Ruben Amorim.

A Portuguese outpost could be strategically important given Eagle’s interests in Brazil, where Textor owns Botafogo, and would almost certainly trigger a conveyor belt of South American signings for Casa Pia if he can close the acquisition - though surely it won’t be done in time for Eagle’s much-vaunted Q1 IPO…

With the club’s historic home just 3km from Benfica’s modern Estadio da Luz, Textor didn’t have to look too far to find his Portuguese club.

Geese Football, anyone?

For those few that can speak Brazilian/Portuguese the story is also reported here, think it’s basically saying that Textor is on the verge of adding Casa Pia to his Eagle sporting empire…

Perhaps Platek needs the money for something

Lol he’s about to do a Q&A too

[Sutekh]

Can’t help but wish the parties come to an amicable settlement beforehand.

Can’t help but wish the parties come to an amicable settlement beforehand.

Or they stage a duel where they both die?

A little surprising as previously he just seemed to be stealing insights from you...

[Mid Sussex Royal]

Not on case list yet for tomorrow; believe deadline was 2pm.

Settlement reached?

[Crowbar6753]

There seems to be a fair few knowledgeable Nobers out there so lets say a settlement has been reached, realistically how quickly could a takeover be signed and sealed?
