I would have thought the PL would have a least some ethical standards and have some kind of process for approving owners of clubs in their league - but I guess if they accept Abramovic, they'll accept anyone.
Not just football. Half of the country has been sold off to foreigners. Doesn't the middle East own half of the land in London and many other cities?
Unfortunately, you are correct.
Now football is accomodating the man in charge of Saudi Arabia, the man who was in charge when Khashoggi was kidnapped and murdered by the Saudi govt because he was critical of the regime.
I am sure our football journalists will be extra nice just in case.
What's next? The Donald buying a club???
Knowing our luck that will happen and he'll buy us.
Or maybe Prince Andrew can lead a 'consortium' and buy Villa for William?
Football heading further down the shitter.
Bad enough we have a Russian mobster in charge of one of our clubs... but that obviously wasn't enough stench for football. They needed to add more.
