Considering the "wealthy" new owners used some small unknown asset finance broker from the North East as their "advisors", it does look as if their idea was always to borrow money on the ground, the stadium, the plant/equipment, etc via mortgages/re-leasing, rather than put money in themselves. I was surprised at the time, any genuinely wealthy buyers would be using the large respectable solicitors/accountants as their advisors, not what appears to be some small-time brokers. I hope that they havn't actually done any loans/lease back deals and just pocketed the money leaving the club worse off than before

seems only to apply to british people. how many other foreign owners are going to be allowed to interfere with our game. no good seems to come out of their involvment just loads of hassle for the fans. cardiff and blackburn are good examples and the glazers spawned a breakaway club. the whole thing about foreign ownership needs looking at quickly by the sweet f.a.

Nothing recent there though so nothing sinister in light of recent events. Most recent is PFA from April

While the big clubs get richer and richer, without a care for the poorer clubs. Some players earn in a week enough money to allow a small club to survive for a year.

It would be a nice idea if the over paid 'elite' players of the Premier League each adopted a club from the lower divisions and non league in order to put some of their earnings back into grass roots football! They could then turn up to watch 'their adopted team' occasionally which might help increase the gate and give the smaller clubs a bit of publicity too.

Maybe, but it would severely reduced the profits at the tattoo parlours.
