So I’m hoping that July 2023 will be remembered for American football club owners taking over the sports washing reputation.

Fenway Liverpool FC became a Saudi Arabia shell club. The Glazer rags were prosecuted as FFP cheats and the Lewis Spurs have uncertainty about their ownership. However, there’s not much of a murmur in our media.

The lack of coverage of Lewis is amazing. Imagine if it was Sheikh Mansour. Are the PL launching a probe to see if Lewis is a fit and proper person. Will they check Spurs accounts going back to when he took over the club?

If city wants a classy club they could be rubbing these clubs noses in the mud!

They could leak that they going around the other premier clubs asking for spurs to be investigated seeing Joe Lewis been owner for so long why shouldn’t there accounts have a deep dive into!?
 
I dont think its citys nature to do this publicly but you can bet your bottom dollar this adds more firepower to our case and we can ask why spurs havent been investigated, same as we can ask why liverpool, utd, arsenal, chelsea havent been publicly investigated and enquire as to whether its because all of the above bar spurs are owned by white americans.

We only got investigated because the premier team got together and pressurised the premier league to investigate they are utter kunts

Didn't the PL just introduce rules for an annual review of F&P compliance? Pretty sure insider trading would be a disqualifying event.

The media are right about one thing: Money is ruining football and the game can't last much longer unless action is taken.
They've been saying this since 1905 when Alf Common became the first player to be transferred for £1,000 when he went from Sunderland to Middlesbrough.

I remember the shock when the owner of Stockport stated that we soon wouldn't be able to get into a game for less than 50p. It was nearly as bad as when the pub landlord said the same about the price of beer.

But of course, this herbert at Spurs, like each and every one of us who may find ourselves in such situations, should be presumed innocent until being found guilty.

Therefore, I am sure that the media, especially here in the UK, will bear this in mind when reporting on this story, just as it has with that other, recent case involving the owner of a football club.. you know, that one with.. who is it? 'wotsisname', you know.. it's on the tip of my tongue.. the fella with the towel on his head.. lives at number 115, or is it 117? you know who I mean don't you?

You mean the fella who got complained about by the owner's of number 1 (now changed to 'Dunwinning') about him being a 'noisy neighbour' ?
 
Heads will roll at the BBC, https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-66309937

A piece about the 85th anniveray of the Beano with celebrity appearances, mentions "Manchester City Phil Foden" but doesn't mention the TWGC that Saint Marcus of Fishfingers himself plays for.

Shocking. Perhaps Simon Stone being away covering United's tour has let things slip and a positive news story that is slightly related to football featuring Manchester City but not united has slipepd through the dragnet.

Speaking of SS, I notice 2 stories about the youthful thugs of united getting stuffed by Wrexham, neither of which carry SS's byline... how odd, united in negative stories shocker and SS doesn't want to be associated. The match report, surely should have been bylined by him, if not, then why have the BBC got SS following united and churning out piece after piece when they win? The news story mentioning "fuming" wrexham is surprisingly on the main headlines news page - again maybe because most of the football sports dept is in the US and don't have such editorial control.
