Clubs who did not play are to get solidarity payments No formula determined for dividing the money Frustration is growing among clubs globally at the extended wait for £185m of solidarity payments promised by Fifa on the back of last summer’s Club World Cup. Clubs that did not participate in the tournament were promised a share of the sum, designed to ensure a proportion of the event’s funding was distributed throughout the football pyramid. If shared equally it would amount to about £50,000 for every top-flight club in the world but, more than seven months after the Club World Cup’s conclusion, there is no sign of the money and no timescale for its distribution. The Guardian understands Fifa is yet to determine how the money will be allocated. Continue reading...

piranka/E+ via Getty Images Thesis review Right after the publication of my article on Globalstar ( GSAT ), SpaceX ( SPACE ) announced the acquisition of EchoStar ( SATS ) spectrum assets for $17 billion. This deal raised eyebrows for most investors, and we started seeing rumors spreading that the next acquisition target could be GSAT. This rumor resulted in GSAT rallying by more than 19% in a single day. To date, the stock price has risen by almost 100% since my sell rating. Clearly this article didn't age well and got me thinking hard about what I could have missed in my initial analysis. My main concern about GSAT was that it sources the majority of its revenue from Apple, and given that we are seeing an increasing number of SAT companies aggressively pursuing the D2D market, this could result in Apple switching to a better provider, likely SpaceX, which could cut GSAT revenue by more than 60%. This level of risk doesn't justify the premium valuation GSAT is currently trading at. I have noted down a few rebuttals to my bearish take, and they have compelled me to rerate GSAT from a sell to a hold. GSAT performance (Seeking Alpha) The first rebuttal to my bearish take is that even though GSAT has a customer concentration risk, the partnership with Apple is very pivotal to both entities, and given the scale of Apple's operation and the amount of free cash it generates in a given year, the reimbursement obligations are a tiny drop, and Apple would rather expand the base of its satellite service providers than switch from one to another. The only thing that could put the contract agreement at risk of termination is if GSAT fails to provide a better service to Apple after it has launched replacement satellites and fully upgraded and expanded its MSS infrastructure. These are medium- to long-term milestones, and in the meantime, GSAT will continue to enjoy cash injections from Apple. The second rebuttal is that, suppose the contract gets terminated, this will definitely...
