I'm just hoping if this goes through they're our frog that leads to a prince without too much damage being done first.

Every single one of them is a shady fucker. It's all of the super-shady dealings that makes them so rich in the first place.

Mega-rich benefactors who chuck billions at football clubs are simply using the business as a vehicle to launder their dirty cash.

You've got Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney at Wrexham. Yes, they've earned big money from acting, which is fine whilst you're plodding away in the lower leagues. However, to compete at the very top of the Premier League, you have to be the sort of rich that you only become by being one fucking dodgy bastard.

AjaxAndy wrote: ↑Tue Jan 09, 2024 9:51 am Yeah I've said the same before on here so completely agree, but the point is more Newcastle had Ashley and that was destructive to the club, they then got the Saudis who are obviously horrific but they will grow the club.

Pretty sure Man City were similar before they got their current owners. Villa likewise.

So really it's not that the prince is a wonderful human who made billions supporting human rights and deprived children... They'll be awful people, but they're not the plunder and strip the club of all it's assets types, they want to grow the club even if their intentions aren't honourable.

I think it's probably survivor bias. You can recall the club's who eventually got 'good owners' rather than the succession of club's who cycled through shite owners and either treaded water, or even died.
