It is such a lazy narrative. HRH INVESTED in a Premier League club with the blessings of the League. Did they think he wanted a continual, persistent loser, or did they think he was going to INVEST FOR SUCCESS?
And, INVEST he has!
He has INVESTED in expanding the stadium HE DOESNT OWN.
He has INVESTED in the improvement of the community at no cost to the City of Manchester.
He has INVESTED in an institution of higher learning for the community.
He has plans to INVEST in the collar site, which was brownfield and some of the most economically depressed areas of Europe.
He has INVESTED in the best football academy in the world in an old chemical site eyesore.
And, oh yeah, he has INVESTED in building the best, most successful football club in England for the last 7 years, making it the fastest growing club in the world, with the best revenue improvement, and made it the lynchpin of a global network of clubs.
Meanwhile, the established world order of European football has also gained from the increased competition and interest in the game from the new clubs who have investors creating that competition...but they don’t like it, especially at a time when many of them are struggling economically by comparison.
I simply don’t listen to the idiots who parrot this garbage, because most have no clue what they are on about and the rest are simply trolls who support other clubs on the wind up. It is akin to reading an article and then thinking you are going to find anything at all of substance in the comments section. Reading and commenting on Internet forum comments sections should result in immediate sectioning and treatment for poor judgment!
