Always wondered why the likes of adidas didn’t get into owning a big club, the advertising opportunities would be immense
To be honest when it comes down to it football ownerships is just not that profitable not to mention the steep initial cost.
Sure it's a relatively stable and constant revenue stream but other than that you'll probably be better off doing other things, like buying up land.
Speak for yourself, I never had a problem with City having rich owners. Back in the 90's we were on the verge of being taken over by Murdoch's bskyb and most people would loved it since we'd have had a monopoly over all clubs finacially
There are no saints/priests who will take over United, every single billionaire is dodgy. If anyone is getting their knickers in a twist over a potential saudi/qatar takeover, then they need to stop watching football or sport in general and go support a church
When we get 700 million to spend in the transfer window, and we can buy who we want when we want there isn't gonna be any tears or complaints.
Well I always held that against them and in my view it tainted their success so personally it will hurt me.
Murdoch was and is a single rich person, he's not a sovereign state disguised as a investing company , we would have still had to rely on our own financial merits not oil money.
United's current ethos are founded mostly on the back of 2 glorious spells by 2 Scottish man built upon trusting youth and prevailing through hardships and I know those eras are long gone but buying up success just feels wrong.
I'm gonna celebrate like a mad man if we win the CL again but that thought will always be on the back of my mind, that our victories are no longer legit.
