This is to the idiot who says Sheikh Mansour should not be allowed to own a football club.
You come out with your farcical statement but do explain the reasons why. What is the difference between Abramovich owning a Club and Skeikh Mansour? The money he uses is his own personal fortune. Why dont you make pathetic statements about Real Madrid who are funded by the Spanish Banks or Man Utd who are over 700Million in debt?

If a member of the German government wanted to buy Spurs then they should be allowed to do so, whats the difference you idiot

The difference is, Chelsea’s owner is a private individual, not a government. The arabs should not even be allowed to own City – since when are foreign governments permitted to buy overseas teams? The Abu Dhabi Group is government/Royal family owned. It is like the German government being allowed to buy Spurs, or Ahmadinejad’s Iranian government being permitted to purchase Arsenal.
What sort of sick mentality does it take for a government to put millions into a foreign sports club? Perhaps Prince Charles should use the royal purse to buy Barcelona for the British people!
I’m amazed this overseas government intervention into our national sport has been allowed.

I am sure that Roman was offended that a musician who is mearly a fan of a football team was telling the billionaire who has more money than him.
