  1. I never studied sport journalism. Just started writing about Granada CF, (published at www.elcentrocampista.com) and started making good contacts at the club.

    Still very much "amateur" journalism, but you never know... one thing could lead to another. Taking things more seriously with it from next season. One benefit will be free entry to the games, though I did manage to get a free season for this season. ;)

    Will be travelling to more away games next season, so gotta pay for travel and hotel expenses, but I don't mind that. Good excuse to visit parts of Spain I've not seen much of yet. :)

  2. Interesting stuff heathxxx. So when you say the udinese chairman decided to invest in Granada , do you mean he forged a link between the 2 clubs, or he invested his own money in the club.

    Don't the rules say one owner can only own one club?

    I wonder what made him choose Granada over other clubs.

    Basically Gino Pozzo cleared the club debts and as Granada are basically now a limited company, Quique Pina is president. Effectively now, Gino Pozzo is a director.

    As for the rules, only in UK as far as I know. I don't think one owner can have two clubs in the same division though, plus I don't think there's any restrictions on one person or "company", investing in clubs in several countries. Take Red Bull for example.

    As for "why", perhaps they saw potential. Reasonable sized city and fan base.
