They looked at several clubs.
They were all at a high price point, and I think they were looking at, why is these things so expensive?
Why is this failing football club so much?
Why is this failing French football club, which doesn't have a great TV deal, doesn't own its own stadium even?
That was the thing with Bordeaux.
I mean, they didn't own their own stadium, so there was kind of...
Caveats attached to what they could do with it.
And it kind of sucked away all the investment kind of potential from it.
I think they looked across Europe and thought, this is really, really hard to find a way for this to work because the values are going up, but the...
the kind of ROI potential just isn't there.
You've seen in Italy, so Redbird, obviously part owners of FSD, ergo Liverpool, AC Milan, they've had enormous challenges and they operate in a similar way to FSD in terms of, you know, trying to think smarter and turn these things into proper businesses.
AC Milan, you know, we are old enough to remember AC Milan being kings in the 90s, you know, and before that, I mean...
Italian football is in such a sad state.
But that's indicative of a few leagues across Europe.
But they still think the value exists there to turn these things into huge businesses.
I think that multi-club thing has kind of made them think, where else do we go now to continue to drive forward?
Because a lot of it focuses on what Liverpool can do themselves with their own global audience and business.
And there's a reason they're out there in the States at the moment.
Great timing, actually.
It shows how much I know when I said that I didn't think they'd go to the States this year a few months ago because I felt it'd be fatigue.
