yep the fairytale is that it will end up being PE-owned

There was a story about this a couple of weeks back. I know I always moan on about this, but lots of PE-backed businesses just fail (see the recent retail examples) and I'm still working out how they really think that a sports team is a good investment. Not everyone can win the PL, CL etc.
