What’s fishy about plaice-ing control of a club into a blind trust?

The only issue UEFA have with two clubs with the same owner is a conflict of interest. A blind trust solves this, so it isn’t totally pointless.

He has, but Brazil are far from the powerhouse they’re renowned for. New manger starts in a few days, let’s see how he gets on then.

Inevitable I feel. There must be quite a limited number of supporters, and only a very specific demographic, who would schelp all the way to the AMEX for this. If it was a charity event then maybe numbers would be better but for a routine bash (which it seems the club were trying to establish)...

Ah yes. PSR, whatever happened to FFP?

It's a lot less for safety these days. Not so long ago, it was 40 to survive and the clubs in the top 6 places, order aside, was predictable. Now there's at least one or two historically big clubs which struggle and only 30 points needed for safety with plenty of ambitous clubs in the lower...
