This is why QSI want to buy a Premier League club soon

0

Qatar Sports Investment (QSI) have built their reputation off of their ownership of PSG for the last decade. Since purchasing the club for £61 million in 2012, they have spent £1.5 billion in transfer fees alone, and have boosted its value up to £4 billion. 

Now, it appears that QSI are planning to buy a Premier League club. And in this article, we will try to go over the reasons why they are interested in such a plan. 

The reason why QSI want to buy a Premier League club 

The first major reason is that PSG are already one of the biggest clubs in Europe. They only have the Champions League left to add to their collection, having dominated French domestic football for years. As a result, there is not much left to do in terms of their sporting project. They already have some of the biggest players in the sport and have little more to achieve there. 

The other reason is sports washing. Which means using sports to divert attention from any negativity surrounding organisations. QSI want to diversify their revenue streams since its reliance on gas can only be for so long. 

Between 2017 and 2021, borders between Bahrain, UAE, Saudi Arabia and Qatar were shut off due to tension between these countries. And the royal family of Qatar is hopeful that the ownership of a Premier League team could buy them global support in case things go south down the line. 

Manchester United and Liverpool are both looking for new owners right now – which presents the perfect opportunity for them to come in. While there are many other bidders in the race to buy these clubs, the sheer wealth of the QSI cannot be understated. And their financial aid to any PL club will help put up a direct battle with Abu Dhabi-owned Manchester City.

Apple to start manufacturing 25% of iPhones in India, according to Minister

Apple is reportedly looking to increase the percentage of iPhones that are manufactured in India. According to a statement made by India’s IT Minister, Ravi Shankar Prasad, the company is planning to manufacture 25% of its iPhones in the country.

This move is seen as a way for them to tap into India’s growing smartphone market and reduce its reliance on China, where the majority of its devices are currently manufactured. India is the second-largest smartphone market in the world and has a rapidly growing middle class that is increasingly buying high-end smartphones.

Apple

The Indian government has been encouraging companies to manufacture their products in the country through a program called “Make in India.” This initiative aims to boost the country’s manufacturing sector and create jobs. Apple’s decision to manufacture more iPhones in India is seen as a win for the program and the country’s economy.

Apple’s manufacturing partner in India is Foxconn, which already has a factory in the southern state of Tamil Nadu. The company plans to expand this factory to increase production capacity. This move is expected to create jobs and boost the local economy.

Apple

However, there are some concerns about the decision. India’s manufacturing sector is not as developed as China’s, and there may be challenges in terms of finding skilled labor and setting up supply chains. Additionally, the Indian government’s recent changes in tax policies may be a hindrance to Apple.

Apple started producing the iPhone 14’s top model in India last year. The Cupertino, California-based computer giant developed its most recent model in India for the first time this close to its release. Although these were mostly older models, Apple started producing iPhones in India in 2017.

Even though Apple only has a 5% market share in India’s smartphone market, CEO Tim Cook has long eyed the country as a potential growth market.

Ronald Koeman presented as Netherlands head coach: 2nd spell begins

0

Ronald Koeman has returned to the Netherlands national team as their new head coach, and begins his second spell with them. 

He was named the successor to Louis Van Gaal last year itself, and following the 2022 World Cup, he has been officially presented by the board. The 59-year-old has promised to make the team more attacking, which was one of the main criticisms for his predecessor. 

Ronald Koeman becomes Netherlands head coach once again 

“In the Netherlands we try to play — and that is often the most difficult path — good, attractive, attacking football,” he said.

“20 internationals without losing — it would be unbelievable if I also manage that.”

But, he added: “I think it can be done differently and I want to do it differently.”

“I have to demonstrate I can be a successful coach who is successful at a major tournament,” he said. “The first step is qualifiers for the European Championship that begins in March.”

During his first spell in charge of the Oranje, Ronald Koeman left to take charge of Barcelona, where he made a name for himself as one of the best centre-backs. His attacking approach was on display during his playing days as well, since he remains one of the highest goal-scoring defenders yet. 

The first big challenge for Koeman upon his return to the post will be to seal qualification for the 2024 Euros, and their first game is against France. They will also have to face Ireland, Greece and Gibraltar on their way to the tournament in Germany. 

Lionel Messi expected to continue with PSG beyond 22/23: No change in verbal agreement

Lionel Messi has not accepted any contract proposal from any club as of yet. The Argentinian was rumoured to have a blockbuster proposal from Saudi Arabian club Al Hilal, but there is little proof to substantiate the same. 

Following his World Cup win as the captain of the Argentina national team, he is believed to have a verbal agreement with PSG for a new deal. And so far, nothing has changed between Messi and his club to continue for the foreseeable future. 

Lionel Messi still expected to continue with PSG 

The 35-year-old was also rumoured to have an offer from MLS – and in particular, David Beckham’s Inter Miami. However, he hasn’t agreed anything with them as of yet either. 

PSG are very keen on continuing with Messi. In fact, they are quite determined to separate his identity with that of Barcelona and want him to retire in Paris. That decision is up to the player, but it remains to be seen how long the extension with PSG will be for. 

Lionel Messi has been in fine form throughout the 22/23 season, and has continued to perform after the World Cup as well. The forward is en route to winning a domestic league title with the Parisians, and his side will also be favoured to win the Champions League considering their stacked squad. 

A new meeting with him and his father and agent, Jorge Messi, will take place in the coming weeks. Once the details of the contract have been ironed out, an official announcement can be expected from the club about his renewal.

Significant advancements over the previous model are anticipated.

OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro specifications

The TV 65 Q2 Pro will provide a flagship viewing experience, according to the brand. The new model’s teaser depicts a different design from one of the outgoing models, which had a movable soundbar. A basic Q2 TV model from OnePlus is not anticipated to be introduced at the event.

In a statement regarding the impending release of the television, OnePlus stated that “The new OnePlus TV 65 Q2 Pro is set to bring a number of superior hardware and software capabilities, while also serving as the centre for a premium, smarter connected ecosystem experience.

Arnaut Danjuma deal hijacked by Tottenham: Loan deal agreed after Everton signing delay

0

Tottenham Hotspur have hijacked the transfer of Arnaut Danjuma from Villarreal to Everton. They have agreed a loan deal for the forward, in a seemingly crazy situation. 

Everton had a full agreement with Villarreal, and also had the player’s approval. However, Spurs have swooped in and quickly negotiated with the La Liga club, while also securing personal terms with Danjuma to sign him. He is now on his way to London to sign for Antonio Conte’s side. 

Arnaut Danjuma to sign for Tottenham instead of Everton 

What makes the situation even more remarkable is that he completed his medical and media shoot for being presented as an Everton player last weekend. But, while there was an agreement, nothing was signed beforehand. 

As a result, Tottenham have taken advantage of the situation and have taken him up on a loan deal. The option to make the temporary move permanent could be included in the contract as well. 

With Son Heung-Min struggling for form, and Richarlison yet to regain match fitness, Arnaut Danjuma could be a good addition to the team. Spurs have failed to be consistent with their performances this season, and find themselves outside the top four right now. 

They could yet finish in a Champions League spot, but will need more composure on the pitch. And a new attacker in the side could help them get the much-needed goals to turn draws into wins.

The Indian smartphone giant, Micromax, that once ruled the entire market made its comeback after COVID as soon as the anti-China movement started, however, it has not yet opportunized the huge Indian smartphone market. Though IN 2C and IN 2B are good in the entry-level market while the IN Note 1 received a good response it couldn’t create a huge impact as such.

The reliable tipster Mukul Sharma has recently tweeted that Micromax is already on track to production of new Micromax tablet and we can expect a launch soon in the country. Considering the Indian company has been silent for a while, a new launch of tablet and maybe smartphone could be on cards for Rahul Sharma’s brand.
