With FFP rules currenly relaxed due to the outbreak their timing couldn't be better.

So that's finally done. They won't believe their luck, they have owners richer than City now.

They'll both probably spend shitloads, if allowed, to try and outdo each other.

We've probably got 2-3 seasons to try and re-establish ourselves as a top 4 side. It's a lot easier to keep your spot there than it is to break in.

Not for the faint hearted. It's a thing that players spike the wives with STD cures when they catch stuff. Seems like this horrific yoke took it even further.

Spike wives with STD cures? What kind of savagery is going on?
If this story is proven this guy should see the slammer.

That is disgusting. Talented footballer I though, but clearly without morals

That's vile.

Guy should go to prison for that

It was a woman who alleged that she was pregnant with the child of Southampton player Yan Valery. He is said to have slipped her an abortion pill in her drink when she was 4 months into a healthy pregnancy causing the baby to develop a heart defect that resulted in the baby dying 2 hours after birth. Just monstrous stuff.

Because she was under an order not to talk and she still did it.

The Premier League should change its rules. If you’re a head of state or member of ruling family, you should be barred from ownership of a club. These things feel like they could create problems down the line. You already have all these bitter Gulf countries. What happens if Qatar want to buy Arsenal? Are they ruled out due to regional conflicts? Or others candidates like Moroccan king, Putin, etc?

Much like the NBA and China, the Premier league have got itself in a position where they're reliant on foreign money and viewers after believing their own mythology that football would be a force for liberalisation through the world. It's not yet quite as bad as what the NBA are stuck with but given time it will be.

They could also bring themselves into conflict with the British government with conflicted persons. It seems reckless

Kroenke donates money to US politicians so whats the difference? They're all entangled anyway.

The likes of Kroenke, Abrahamovic, the King Power Group aren't without vested interests and it's far from perfect but not being able to see the difference between them and state run operations with geopolitical ambitions like the Abu Dhabi United Group or the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia is living in denial.

Thing is I did one of those predictor thingys cos I’ve got a bit of time on my hands and I had City pipping them on goal difference
