Supporting Arsenal is reason enough to stop supporting Arsenal and don't let anyone tell you otherwise

We had not left it yet, but when I would wake in the night, I would lie, listening, homesick for it already.

Think it's much more that they have owners with absolutely zero appetite for actual political antagonism.

City is owned by a country bombing Yemen into famine so I don't think they give a poo poo about that. I think the more worrying thing is this might actually get a 50% + 1 law passed and they lose their investment when they already have a hugely dominant financial position so the gain of super League isn't as big for them.

I think the last two are going to be RM and Juve, but yeah I fully expect the Americans to hold on as long as possible.

Sit your ass down Steve.
The American owners are probably dumb enough to think the fact that our stupid country let's them do whatever they want to their sports franchises means they get to do the same in England. I'm for kicking every American owner out of the premiere league.

Barca are desperate for money. Them, real and the yank owned teams will be the last to fold.

Signing up for the ESL in the first place should mean the owners fail the fit and proper test and have to sell up.

I know that’s not going to happen, but it should.

lol someone posted a clip of the man himself saying his own name and it def wasn't what the english podcaster said, happy to be of service

but regardless of our various butcherings of non-english pronunciations, you lot should be concerned about this thing coming back around in several years with more competent oligarchs avoiding the obvious mistakes made this time

even if you boot all the American owners, international capital won't stop

Lost in all this is that the most evil of the owners in this mess might actually be the AC Milan owner if you look up his history. He's the one that bought Argentinian debt and then used that leverage to seize an actual goddamn warship.

IIRC he got AC Milan by loaning money to their owners, they missed a payment, and then he took the whole drat club in return
