State-owned clubs

There's a lot in the news about state-owned clubs at the moment, with all the Saudi stuff, City in the CL final, Qatar trying to buy Man U.

How would you react if a petro state bought us? Would you happy or would it affect your support in a negative way?

For me personally I'm not really sure. I'm not sure I would take much pleasure in steamrollering English football like City are doing, if we would be owned by an authoritarian state. But maybe I would be able to get used to it. I don't really know.

I've no idea really

I doubt it's a bridge we'll ever have to cross though

I thought that already happened? Of course Bill found the only one who just needed to wash the cash and didn't care if the team got any better.
 

Wonder how City fans feel winning everything? They hardly celebrate a goal these days don’t sell their away tickets. Once they get the CL that will be it. Too much of a good thing is maybe not that great.
 

It's not about football anymore. It's about who can afford the best and most mercenaries. No connection with the club, no building wealth slowly through success, no legacy.

If we were state run tomorrow we'd no longer be Everton would we. Have to say I have next to no interest left in football as it is, so I'd be ambivalent...and maybe a bit disappointed.
 
I read last week in a Miguel Delaney article that the PL are drawing up plans banning ownership linked commercial deals, 17 clubs are in favour of it apparently.

You look at Cheat FC and £270 million of their £350 million commercial revenues (laughably the highest in the world) are with the Abu Dhabi investment Mubadala companies, their version of Saudi's PIF.

The Cheat FC chairman Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak is also on the board of Mubadala, their last 3 sponsorship deals from Mubadala of to sponsor cheat FC in the last 12 months Khaldoon is also the chairman of these companies, they added £70 million increase in commercial revenues form the season before, this is a serious conflict of interests, altogether Cheat FC have 9 commercial deals with Mubadala companies now.

PIF has literally a endless bottomless pit of money, already 3 companies are sponsoring NUFC, they have just signed a new shirt deal from £3 million a year to £25 million a year with a PIF company, their sleeve sponsor was £500k a season, they have one with a PIF company at £9 million a year. Look at PIF influence in world sport now in Formula 1, Boxing and now Golf, they are taking over to distract from their human right abuses and terrorism links of their country by tapping into sport with an aggressive sportswash policy.

PL need to get this ban underway or else the PL will be a P*ssing contest between 3 oil state investment funds if Qatar buy United, it will kill the PL and force clubs to breakaway and form another competition if the competitiveness is due to petro dollar human rights abusive states.
