"It’s an inconvenient truth, and the club’s supporters have long known it, but it has suited them to ignore it, just as Newcastle fans, Manchester City fans, Paris Saint-Germain fans, and fans the world over ignore the fact their clubs are owned by Oligarchs, states with human rights questions, or vulture capitalists."

Says the man whose salary is paid by a man described as a security threat, close to Putin, and a Saudi. I think there's a great opportunity to reset media ownership.

A friend of mine’s son is gay and went to live in UAE about a year ago- he’s having the time of his life! He was actually the the victim of a homophobic attack in Liverpool a few weeks before he left.

My eldest daughter has been to both Dubai and Abu Dhabi a number of times, both on holiday and to the Yas Marina racetrack when she worked for Bentley motorsport.

A different world to her dad.
