    That's probably right I have read he owns 40%, I assumed Zheng had the rest. Will their focus be more on us with such a big holding over here and a more lucrative Premier League. They've a lot more control than they have over Nice.

    The ceiling is definitely higher with the premier league potential in England. Even if you do well in France, it's still the French league.

    I'd think they have the same level of control in both cases?

    The championship is the third best supported league in the world.

    This is mainly due to the fact that the league has more teams than Spain, Italy and France who all have a larger average attendance:

    Averages for 2016-2017
    Germany - 41,516
    EPL - 35,809
    Spain - 27,590
    Italy - 22,047
    France - 20,963
    Championship - 20,084

    It would be interesting to see what the average seat price is in each of those leagues.
    Also, what those attendances mean in ratio to average full capacity

    It was TalkSport claiming this yesterday, don't know what they used for their stats.

    It is correct in terms of numbers of people watching the matches, but there are 172 more games played over a full season in the Championship compared to La Liga (for example).

    Hardly anything from what I've seen, ticket prices seems largely irrelevant on the continent.

    I know this is stating the bleeding obvious, but there's some serious coin in Nice generally, I expect that they can sell boxes and sponsorship in a quality stadium for some big wonga that South Yorkshire can only dream of,

    What a load of ballax they were talking then, I thought it was about the 5th/6th best supported.

    Not on a scale that we could in the Prem, there's only a few decent teams that's worth watching.

    That's still pretty impressive for a second tier competition.
