• In the realm of football, the process of buying and selling clubs is more than just a financial transaction; it's a strategic manoeuvre that can shape the future of the sport.
• The acquisition of football clubs involves negotiations and diverse structures tailored to fit the unique circumstances of each deal.
• Sometimes, buyers and sellers can't agree on how much a club is worth right now. In these cases, they might agree to an earnout.
• This means the buyer agrees to pay more money later on if the club performs well after the sale.
• These deals can be tailored to fit each situation, with payments based on things like the club's league position or tournament wins.
• However, earnouts are usually only used when the sellers are staying involved in the club after the sale.
• In summary, there are various ways to structure M&A deals, each with its own advantages and considerations. Whether it's through partial acquisitions, vendor loan notes, or earnouts, the goal is always the same, to strike a deal that works for both sides and ensures the long-term success of the club.
• In South Africa Acquisition or Takeover has not been seamless due to an oversight on unpaid players. The issues of personnel, name changes and relocation remain trigger uproar and discontent for all parties involved.
• We are not just FIFA Accredited Agents, but experienced commercial attorneys with unparalleled experience in the sector.
