AFC Bournemouth acquisiton - SWOT Analysis

AFC Bournemouth is the most recent acquisition by the American consortium led by Bill Foley, owner of the NHL franchise Vegas Golden Knights, becoming the 8th US majority owner of a Premier League club (40% of the league).


While it is clear that acquiring Premier League clubs is a recent trend, with 20% of the transactions happening during the last 14 months, there is an even more relevant event in the making, with the Foley' led group looking to create a Multi-Club Ownership (MCO) structure with a French and Belgium club as feeder clubs.
