This time, it’s iconic singer Rihanna's partner, rapper A$AP Rocky, who is reportedly keen on trying his hand at owning a football club.
Discussing ex-Bologna, Venezia and SPAL chief Tacopina, Palios added: "He would add value in the sense of, he's an American who understands relegation because he's been involved in football in Italy."He could also add value by bringing celebrities in, who can then increase the commercial potential of the club.
"Lower league clubs are potentially in their sights because the Americans always want sporting assets over here which are undervalued, and if you try to buy an MLS club, they're ridiculous prices so people wouldn't do that. "At the end of the day, whether he brings A$AP Rocky in or not is down to him, it's the type of thing I think would enhance his consortium because they can add value to the commercial side.
"So at the top end you've got sovereign states funding it, now that's one of the problems the Premier League have now got."The other potential we've got is the commercial potential of the club which we've tried to show is actually quite significant.
