Just watched a youtube video from January of Brett Johnson contributing on a panel re-global investment in football clubs, including those in the UK.
The panel covers the potential of investment in lower league clubs, benefits of multi-club ownerships, mistakes that can be made, such as stripping away history and culture from clubs and highlights the importance of involving people around clubs with vast football experience, amongst other areas.
Brett states he is close to investing in a English club (which we now know to be us), has long-term strategies and a large interest in the women’s game. I found it really reassuring for him to be part of this panel- he was listening hard and seemingly has taken some of the ideas expressed on board. It made me feel fortunate and even more excited for the future.
If anyone wants to give it a watch, here is the link:
Thank you for sharing - really interesting. I am wondering now whether the high profile and relative success of ITFC Women might have been a contributing factor to the takeover.

You’re welcome. I think it’s definitely something they will have interest in and push long-term, even if not the immediate priority.

If they want it, they have a big opportunity with ITFC Women — a rare example within the club of setup being absolutely top-level and up there with the best in the country. It's going to be a huge growth market; the recent TV deal confirms that. Given how well women's football does in the US this can't have escaped them.

Pheonix and Galatasaray have a link up, didn't realise that
Looking forward to seeing Cook sacrifice a goat in the centre circle before our next derby game...
Pronouns: He/Him/His.
"Imagine being a heterosexual white male in Britain at this moment. How bad is that. Everything you say is racist, everything you say is homophobic. The Woke community have really f****d this country."

id rather the Goat played if i'm honest, could list 11 players i'd rather see get sacrificed
You're too soft. Some on that subs bench could go too.

It is abundantly clear through everything he has said since the takeover that ‘community’ and ‘history’ are going to be played to the max. You can’t make money out of people if they are not your side.
That’s not a criticism, it’s a very sensible thing to do and a sign of the level of competence I think we can expect to see going forward......but it is rooted in entirely cynical business objectives.

That's through Berke Bakay who I believe is Turkish and not American. He's a Galatasaray fan and is the main man behind getting Drogba to Phoenix due to those links.

For me this is why now I know who is part of this new group, it could be rather exciting
Brett - Loves a complex build, developing community assetts Berke - Contacts Galore by the looks of things Detmer - Global property tycoon, one of the biggest out there
It might not just be good for the club this, for the town itself they could do a lot of good.

I'd swap the word cynical with pragmatic.
When Brett J said he had looked at other English clubs I wondered if our big 3 trophys were a big part of the decision to go with us.

Isn't the cost of opening the ground on match days without ticket revenue one of the big challenges of Covid? I guess this plan would depend on how else they can generate revenue until the women's attendance get to a high enough level.
