Fucking love this. I’m not gonna argue that they are neutral, but they certainly aren’t compromised like club owners that are lining their pockets with blood money.

Absolutely not.

They launder it first so they don't get stains.

Wasn’t there a news story that came out a week ago about how tory MPs were getting paid 10k a day to help out/visit with foreign businesses

It was a fake foreign business to show how easily they'd just sell out for 10K a year without even researching the company or asking many questions.

It was only a couple of them and despite what the news made out, MPs having a second job isn't against the law here

This is just the government's way of inserting themselves into making some of the money that previously was only going to the football governing bodies. Politicians literally wrote the book on corruption, I'd be surprised if anything meaningfully changed

Kind of wild that up until this point one could be subject to sanctions by the UK government and still allowed to own a Premier League football club
