Bernard Arnault and Red Bull buying Paris FC

[Evilo]

RB specialized in young talents + richest man on earth + the area in the world that produces the most top 5 league players.

Could be fireworks!

Also possible they move to the Parc des Princes since PSG is likely moving out.

Wow, big. Extremely big. Will wait til it's confirmed, but if true it's enormous.

As Paris FC currently lead the Ligue 2 (although 5 top clubs are within 3 pts), they probably have a good chance to be promoted?

Do they have plans to spend big already in January to secure promotion. Paris can certainly have two top flight clubs, compared for example how many clubs London has.

I don't know yet, the report has just been made.
But it's quite possible!

 

[Evilo]

Oh and add Klopp to the mix.

Mmm, right, smart

Would they change their name to Red Bull Paris?

Would they change their name to Red Bull Paris?

Maybe RB Paris but finally another top Paris club with high ambition.

Would definitely be fun to have two Paris clubs battling it out

I love how the soda people happen to have a team in the NY Metro area and don't give a flying f*** about us and treat us like f***ing shit while they continue to buy up clubs.

I started to like them in the 1980's when they were briefly in Ligue1 with the likes of Littbarski, Francescoli etc.

Too bad it didn't last.

I can’t say that I ever actually followed the football team but back then they were a multi-sport club and I trained there at the fencing club for a season. I even won a little “trophy” for some little in-house competition. A ceramic logo thingy like this:

PFC (2nd in L2 right now) will have a minimum of 10M€ to play with this winter window. This is huge money for a L2 team.
