Rumours are Qatar want Arsenal now too
I started losing interest in football, or at least the passion I had, years ago as I got a bit older and had actual stuff in my life to deal with as priority. But it's getting to the point I almost have 0 interest. When I go to a game it's for the day out and fun, not cos I am so desperate for a result - that's more the bonus. It's sad but that's how I feel now. I don't watch any non United game as I can't be bothered and even United games, I won't take time out of my day for - if I can I will watch, if I can't then it's OK
More situations where the game is removed from fans and the club's, which many people have a strong emotional affinity to, and that's what will happen. The players themselves are now markets and fans follow them than the club - it happened in American Football, Basketball, Baseball, Cricket and now football. At least for the big teams, smaller/more local teams are less of a hostage to it but equally they are being buried by the money of those big boys
It genuinely feels different now. When clubs and players give no loyalty, it makes it really hard for the average fan to give back so much energy. At least to me, they shouldn't
