SENTIMENT CHE

A estas alturas, todo el mundo sabe que Lim y su socio Jorge Mendes hacen negocios colocando a jugadores de su empresa. Y tienen entrada a muchos clubes precisamente porque ofrecen futbolistas conocidos.

The Singapore billionaire Peter Lim has said his investment in Salford City with the five “class of 92” former Manchester United stars has nothing to do with third-party ownership of players, in which Lim is involved at Valencia.

Lim, who is in the final negotiations of a protracted takeover at the Spanish club, owns 100% of the economic rights in two players, the Spanish striker Rodrigo Moreno Machado and the Portuguese midfielder André Gomes, via his company Meriton Capital. Both were playing for Benfica, from whom Lim’s company bought them in January, for €30m and €15m respectively. In the summer, Benfica loaned the players, now owned by Lim, to Valencia, a club Lim will buy once he reaches agreement with their main creditor, the Spanish conglomerate Bankia.

Jorge Mendes, the agent, transfer intermediary and adviser to third-party ownership (TPO) funds, is a close friend of Lim and has been significantly involved with the acquisitions of Rodrigo and Gomes, as well as other moves to Valencia. The coach, Nuno Espírito Santo, was the first player whose transfer Mendes brokered, in 1997, and Mendes still represents Nuno.

The class of 92 – Gary and Phil Neville, Ryan Giggs, Nicky Butt and Paul Scholes, who graduated through Manchester United’s ranks to glittering football heights – announced last week that Lim has agreed to take a 50% share in their purchase of the Northern Premier League First Division North club Salford. It raised the question about whether Lim’s intention is to use Salford, where the former United stars have pledged to build a productive academy, as a partner club in his growing football activities. Third-party ownership of players is banned in English football because of its perceived damage to the game’s integrity and players’ individual rights, and on Friday, following Uefa pressure, Fifa pledged to ban the practice worldwide.

A spokesperson for Lim emphasised his involvement with Salford is “philanthropic”, motivated by his interest in developing young players and has nothing to do with Valencia, Mendes or TPO.

“The only reason for Peter’s investment in Salford City is aligned with his personal philanthropic interest in youth development,” the spokesperson said, “and of course his support for the members of the class of 92.”

The former United quintet said when announcing the deal they had known Lim for 10 years – initially this was through his ownership of United’s Red Cafe Asian franchise. He is already involved with the group in building a hotel, called Hotel Football, near Old Trafford at a reported cost of £23m.

Lim made his millions investing in shares and he supports training of young footballers in the Singapore Sports Foundation, where he is said to have invested substantially. Lim’s spokesperson stressed he was not intending to develop a business in TPO.

“Our involvement in the third-party ownership of players is not a long-term one,” the spokesperson, based in Singapore, said. “The case [sic] was mainly due to our acquisition of Valencia. We had submitted our offer to acquire Valencia in December 2013 and did not expect that it is a long and protracted one. We invested in the economic rights of Rodrigo and André during the January 2014 transfer window and it was solely for Valencia in mind.

“After the official support from the Valencia CF Foundation to sell the club to us (but before reaching an agreement with Bankia), the two players were on loan to Valencia for one year while we are trying to complete the transaction.”

The Neville brothers, Giggs, Scholes and Butt have not commented on the third-party ownership element of Lim’s activities but are thought to consider it irrelevant because of the TPO ban here and because Salford City, in northern English semi-professional football, inhabit a different world from Mendes and Valencia.

The former United stars took over Salford this year as part of developing a broad portfolio of interests and activities now their playing days are over. Such projects include the eponymous film that has branded them collectively the “class of 92”. A unifying theme is to positively acknowledge their roots, including a strong connection with Salford – Giggs still lives in the city; Scholes was born there; United’s Cliff and Littleton Road training grounds, where they were all schooled in football, are in Salford.

The five have addressed concerns about whether British players have the same opportunities to progress as they did – Gary Neville has said publicly he does not believe he would be given a chance in United’s first team if he were coming through now. At Salford, they have pledged to build an academy that will develop young British players.

The ambition is to take the club from the raw lower reaches to the Football League, a journey almost certain to involve a move from the historic, but basic, ground at Moor Lane.

Fleetwood Town, who have been promoted from two divisions below Salford, the North West Counties League first division, to League One in a decade, are explicitly a role model. That project has cost Fleetwood’s owner, Andy Pilley, more than £10m, and the Class of 92 said they always wanted a partner who would share the cost of Salford. Hence the billionaire Lim’s investment, which is, they say, a comfortable fit.

Voló hasta allí con uno de los dos aviones privados que tiene Meriton solo para asistir al partido y regresó de inmediato a Madrid. Cada uno de ellos tiene un coste de unos 30 millones de dólares, uno lo utiliza habitualmente Hoon para viajar por el mundo atendiendo los negocios de la compañía y el otro es para uso exclusivo del propio Peter Lim. Es el que utilizará para desplazarse desde Singapur hasta Valencia, como hizo hace ya más de diez meses el día que se presentó de incógnito para trasladar su oferta de compra.
