Didn’t see that coming. Good for him.
Bunch of rubbish. Ignore
there should be requirements that active players cant buy clubs, only once they retire. can they do it. It could cause problems similar to two clubs owned by the same people in the same competition
I’d be interested to see if there’s any rules over conflicts of interest if you play against a club you *own* as a player, obviously they have rules about multi club ownership when they play each other.
Not true.
What about the english investment fund?
Thats just the end stage of football, tbh.
It started in the 80s with Bates buying Chelsea, Bunga Bunga buy Milan and then Walker buying Rovers. Then we had Roman buying Chelsea and Levy buying Tottenham in the early 2000s.
2008 the UAEs bought City, 2010 the Saudis PSG and its been a steep decline ever since.
US celebs buying minority stakes to diversify their portfolios and now active players buying clubs is really just the final coffin of this circus.
Germany is the only country, where things are still in order with their 50+1 ownership rules. Good on them.
The world is a strange place. A right back in his mid-20s can buy a football club in the top league in France.
He thought it was FC Nandos
What happens when Liverpool play Nice? Is Trent banned from playing in that match by UEFA?
Already been denied
