It's just so depressing isn't it.
For some reason I held some hope that football would unite and tell these clubs they cannot just break the rules and get away with it.
I bet a lot of owners across the world are fuming and I wouldn't bet against sensible people like Henry and Co. walking away from football shortly.
Why fight against a country that can do what it wants?
I actually find it astounding that there aren't procedures in place to prevent such horrific people buying up football clubs. I know about the 'fit and proper' thing, but that's clearly unfit for purpose. Football has made a rod for its own back by allowing tyrants like these to come in and basically destroy the fabric of the sport.
What they are saying is that the tyrants that own one football club are more powerful than football itself. Now how on earth was this allowed to happen? They are being allowed to come in and pervert the entire sport in this country for their own ends and to the detriment of the sport and its integrity.
Personally, I wish that football would bin off the likes of Abu Dhabi, PSG and Chelsea. Let them make their own tyrants league with its own plastic trophy while the rest of us carry on with tighter regulations where club's spend what they generate via the sport itself. When an organism has a cancer, you either cut the cancer out or it kills the organism. The likes of these cancers on the vital organs of the game need removing, and fast. I'm truly amazed that every other club in the game is not up in arms over these fake, plastic clubs that are little more than a supposedly respectable front for crooks and tyrants.
