    Default For Sale -One Football Club (and Football)

    So, Roman Abramovich is selling Chelsea. Anyone interested? Around the time he bought it from Ken Bates, surely one of the most offensive idiots ever to own a sports club, there was a joke going round

    -What's the easiest way to become a Millionaire? Start out as a Bilionaire, and the buy a football club

    THis article goes into the Abramovich situation, but hasn't football become the side hustle for mn with more money than sense? But can the UK Premier League survive as a 'global brand' without the financial input of crooks and swindlers, not to mention the odd dictator or two?

    Enjoy, while you can.

    The sub-title says it all-

    "Chelsea fans air support for Roman Abramovich as they faced club backed by a nation that executed 81 people on Saturday".

    The case is being held behind closed doors, and appears to be Manchester City attempting to replace the 'collective agreement' that is at the foundation of the Premier League, with an Individualism that could give one club advantage over another because of its financial power.

    And the football? Er....try this: The Premier League: from Concept through to Cash.

    It's not about the game, but the money you can make from it.
