Today is a landmark day. Football died today. Liverpool have sold their soul to the Americans, and we can no longer call it the beautiful game. They are selling their soul for vast amounts of money that will ruin football. Football is ruined and we can never get it back. The small teams are now even further away from the fat cat big boys and cannot hope to compete. Their success will forever be tainted with the money they have, which they are just buying success with. How can any of the "small clubs" cope now? Liverpool are ruining football. How long will this vile aberration on the game`s image last? That depends. The question on everyone`s lips is what will the Red Mickeys do when the Septics get bored of their new plaything, and stop feeding it dodgy money, walk away, and leave you with massive debts? How did these Yanks get their money anyway? Earned it fairly and squarely it says in the papers. That`s as it maybe, but we feel that the indecent amount of money has been stolen from the poor, destitute, starving peasants struggling to survive in the bitter hardship of the US. Ask them how they feel about this sum of money being spent on a football team whilst their children shiver and die in the fields due to lack of food/shoes/Nintendo. I propose that at 11 O`clock tomorrow morning, a minute`s silence be held for the sad, bitter demise of football as we know it. RIP Football
What a load of tosh. Football turned into Business and died when Sky came on the scene. All premiership sides now need to get investment to survive. The other alternative was to let Man U and Chelski (and possibly Arsenal who will probably be bought out soon) run away from the rest. Or we could have gone down the Leeds Utd road and invested with massive borrowing. Look where that has got them. To say "Liverpool are ruining football" is just a bit over the top.
some people are just ignorant. investment was needed to stay in touch with chelsea and man utd. i guarentee arsenal will do the same. football is a business now and if investment is the best form of business to take football forward it will happen more.
Nah neither am i. seems that the only top club with english owners is Arsenal. British and proud of it!
Arsenal may have British owners but hardly have any British players well in the first team, Walcott and thats it.
