If Arsenal buy Rice at £105m it'll push them to the top of the netspend chart over a 5 season period
No one cares, so what's the point... \0/
The narrative has long since been set that City's success is built on the billions in oil money lavished on us by our terrorist Sheikh owner.
Gross spend? Net spend?
None of this applies where the American owned red tops are concerned, HOWEVER a word of severe caution...
A Yank bought Huddersfield Town yesterday, THREE MONTHS after first exploring the possibility of buying into English football.
He admitted that until a month ago, he'd never even heard of Huddersfield, let alone Huddersfield Town!
Once the Yanks get a stranglehold on English football, it's fucked! HOWEVER, there's:
No complaints!
No accusations of sportwashing!
No headlines of "The Americans must be stopped because they're ruining English/European football".
NOTHING!
But yet probably the best run football club in the world is being mercilessly persecuted by European & English football authorities for alleged historic FFP infractions, & for having the cheek of being successful outside of the American owned cartel!
Look at their combined debt & spending, then try telling me again that it's City ruining football. :-/
