They would be nothing like Elliott. There are many differences:
1. Way of acquisition. Elliott smelled blood. They saw a Chinese moron asking them for insane money and immediately knew that he will default. They took the chance to acquire Milan for 350 m (iirc) and flip it for massive profit. I read an article a few days ago saying that the total money Elliott ever put in Milan is around 800 m. A sale at 1.2 bn, as rumoured, means 400 m pure profit for 4 years. 100 m a year. I am not much into the world finances, but this looks like a great deal for a vulture fund.
InvestCorp, on the other hand,
want to buy Milan. And they don't want it on the cheap. They are ready to splash 1.2 bn without a second thought and start pumping money in the club for a new stadium, training facilities, etc. As far as I know this would be the biggest sale/purchase in the history of football.
2. Primary goal. Elliott wanted to flip the club. Cut the expenses, remove the debt and move on. When they arrived they were talking about mid-term project. Right now they are finishing year 4. Probably about what they were aiming at initially.
InvestCorp, on the other hand, want to buy Milan for the same reason why other Arabs bought City or PSG. They want exposure, they want the world to kneel in front of them saying how mighty their club is. It's no coincidence that PSG sheikh is so involved in football that he is even chairman of some structure of UEFA. These guys are desperate for success. And winning the Baguette league is not much of a success simply because nobody gives a shit about their league. They want international exposure. They want magical European nights against Real Madrid, Bayern, etc. They basically want what Silvio had. The whole world knew who he is. In Bulgaria people always knew Berlusconi as the owner of Milan despite him being the incumbent prime minister of Italy at times. In 2000-2010 if you asked a random man on the street who was the owner of merda or ladri nobody would've given you a correct answer (unless he was a Serie A fan), while everybody knew the owner of Milan. Moratti and Agnelli are nobodies in Bulgaria (in terms of name recognition) compared to the glory of Berlusconi. And I guess it wasn't just here.
3. Approach. Elliott wanted young players that they can sell for profit. Ironically that never happened except for Hauge. Their primary goal was to reach 300+ m of revenue while we're on a leash in terms of expenditures and become self-sustainable. And they did it. This season's revenue is crossing the 300 m mark and we are about to get rid of the 2 biggest earners in our squad which will make our books even healthier. And Elliott were never interested in bringing a top coach to Milan. They never cared about sport success.
InvestCorp, on the other hand, would like to get the best possible players available. They won't run away from a deal because of a 2-m difference between offer and demand, like Elliott did with Faivre. Once MMM find the right player they won't care much whether he costs 13 m or 15 m. They will simply get him. And they will sign a big coach in 2-3 years, unless Pioli delivers some miracles, because they will care mostly about the sport success. Like PSG. These guys literally turned down an insane bid for Mbappe (200 m with just 1 year left of contract
) just to have the best possible chance to finally win the CL. And now he will walk out for nothing.
4. Structure. Elliott are a private fund. They are not backed by any state. They just mind their own business and aim for the bag of cash.
InvestCorp, on the other hand, is not just backed by Mubadala. They are the 2nd largest shareholder, according to something I found on twitter. They will be a huge part of the club. And these guys are not playing around. Also, even if they are not officially involved (which is practically impossible since they are shareholders of InvestCorp), there are countless ways to help InvestCorp without breaking UEFA's rules. And they will do it. Won't surprise me at all if we sign some massively improved deals with Puma and Emirates in no time.
Completely different ideas about what to do with the club, so yeah, I am super optimistic that we will kick ass if they do buy the club.
