It's deals like this Luiz one that make me wonder how any football fan can not despise these oil rich, crooked as fuck, thick as two short planks, no mark football clubs. It's utterly disgraceful and takes away any sense of fair competition. I don't care if people say that's because I support Arsenal and they're exactly the club that 'suffers' the most - it's cheating, it's not right and I would be disgusted up it was Arsenal that were run that way. Cheating scum. And Chelsea can fuck off as well.
They'll argue that it isn't the first time this has happened. In Italy they've had rich backers putting money in for years, Arsenal once had a lot of money pumped in. Clubs like R.Madrid & Barca have racked up huge debts but in a way are underwritten by local governments as they are seen as too important to fail. Also you can't say we haven't benefited from it having sold Adebayor, Toure, Nasri & Clichy for over £75m to City!
I don't actually disagree with you btw, we've had to do things the hard way but are ridiculed because it has cost us on the pitch. We've done things the right way, made sure we sorted out our income source before chasing after big signings. In the past 10 years the changes we have been through will keep this club competitive for a generation. You can't just rely on a rich owner to bail you out forever.
