What's so hypnotically beautiful about those posts is that it was their club, as much as any other, that created the landscape that made the purchase of an English club such an enticing prospect for Abramovich and Mansour. Their greed, when they carried out a series of measures to concentrate more and more power and wealth at the top of the English game a generation ago, completely designed to suit their own ends it should be said, has blown up spectacularly in their face. If the financial landscape and shareholding structure within English football wasn't as clubs like Liverpool and united had designed it, in order to meet their own ends, then these 'sugar daddies' would have looked elsewhere to feed their egos and/or fulfill their strategic plans. This is the reason these types of individuals aren't involved in German football in the same way. That model of football was open to the likes of Liverpool, but they chose to avoid it.
Threatening to breakaway in the early 80's, as a big "fuck you" to the rest of football, wasn't the flapping of a Liver bird's wings, but rather a butterfly's.
Don't like what you see? Good. You created the monster that you now so despise; created because of your club's own greed and selfishness.
You reap what you sow. Read it and weep.
