Bob on.
I don’t know if folk read this article from Nov 23. I’ve used a few snippets in my ‘discussions’ with giddy scum. Worth a quick read to see that gentleman Jim is not in this adventure for his love of the game and his lifelong support of the red shit.
In an era when clubs have become the playthings of billionaires, fans are left pondering the question: how do you prefer your sportswashing?

There's plenty out there on Jizzy Jim - but hey, let's focus on the Arab Sheikh at City.
"Grangemouth is owned and controlled by Petroineos, a joint venture between Chinese state-owned PetroChina (China didn’t sell off its energy assets) and London-based Ineos, ruled by Jim Ratcliffe, the Brexiteer who took his car production overseas rather than provide employment or pay tax here."
"Sir Jim Ratcliffe, the UK’s richest person and high-profile Brexiter, has quit Britain for tax-free Monaco.
Ratcliffe, a petrochemicals magnate with an estimated £17.5bn fortune, has this week officially changed his tax domicile from Hampshire to
Monaco, the sovereign city-state that is already home to many of the UK’s richest people.
It has been estimated that the move will save him £4bn in tax payments. People who live in Monaco for at least 183 days a year do not pay any income or property taxes. The highest tax rate in the UK is 45% on income above £150,000-a-year."
So how much of Failsworth have you re-generated Jim?
Nowt wrong with being "tax adavantageous" - but then don't make yourself out to be something you may not be Jimbo.
