  • PSG have been the dominant force in French football since 2011 and in Parisian football since the 1970s, but could all of that be about to change?
    Through Bernard Arnault, the LVMH Group, and Red Bull, cross-city rivals Paris FC - who are currently chasing promotion to Ligue 1 - recently became the richest non-state-owned club in world football.
    In this video, HITC Sevens takes a closer look at Paris FC's multibillion dollar owners, their plans for the Ligue 2 club, and what it might mean for PSG and the future of French football.

    I'll tell you what's more eye-opening. It's not the football content at all, it's learning that all these different luxury shops I walk past every day that I thought were competing with each other are actually all owned by the same people, all owned by a company I've never heard of.

    You are being a bit unfair with PSG achievements prior to the Qatari acquisition. PSG had won 8 coupe de France, won an European trophy in 1996 (and lost in the final the following season against Ronaldo’s Barcelona). They had reached the UCL semi finals in 1995. It was a solid team in the 90´s. It had only been relegated once in the 70’s and ever since never left the first French division. And even in the early 2000’s still managed to get pretty talented players (Ronaldinho, Pauleta, Okocha etc). It was not the greatest club in France but it was no pre 2008 Man city either.

      Man City created a giant academy filled with pure profit opportunities.
      PSG is in Paris so naturally shirt sales were always going to be high but they then brought in actual sucking star power like Zlatan, Neymar and eventually Messi.
      Chelsea has the same as man city, big academy with lots of pure profit sales.
      Newcastle on the other hand have done nothing to expand their revenue. Spurs built a new stadium to host NFL as an example, what have Newcastle done? They haven't even applied to host a Europa league final. Who the fuck is buying a Newcastle shirt with Gordon on the back in China or in Canada? I'll tell you what Chinese and Canadians buy, Man city Haaland and PSG Messi shirts.
      I mean fuck look at Spurs again as an example. Son wasn't just bought because he was a good player, he made Spurs a much more popular team in South Korea.
      Why Newcastle made no attempt to buy someone like Takafusa Kubo, which would basically guarantee high shirt sales and TV viewership in Japan, to instead spunk 40 million on fucking Harvey Barns, yet Newcastle fans still think is 'corruption' is beyond delusional. Sorry

But if they do things the way they say they’ll do them, I think they’ll become a really attractive club for new fans who don’t like the way PSG operate and prefer clubs that prioritize youth development (I know I do). I just hope Lyon, Marseille and even Saint Etienne can pull their fingers out their arses and provide some competition as well.
