Possibly, a light hearted take on clubs with support in Brexit homelands or with right wing leanings (Chelsea thugs), who are allegedly patriotic about all things UK, yet happily accept international money to fast-track to buying trophies.

What does that have to do with football? I just find him a bit up himself.

It's all about Nigel Farage becoming Palarse new manager.

To be fair he would probably win the Prem, love him or hate him the bloke has charisma.
I’ve met him, he’s good company and I’d say not up himself.
My political views don’t all align with his, but he’s not the raving left wing loon his NSC opponents might think.

If this trend continues, we won't be battling it out for places in the PL, but a place in the Championship!

Not every foreign owner guarantees success, not every Sheik is loaded so anyone who automatically thinks a foreign takeover means success look at Aston Villa , Birmingham, MASSIVE and the twats at Fratton Park amongst others

The post wasn't a cipher. It was a pretty straight forward observation and question.
It will take time, but it’s heading this way.
In my football watching life, I’ve seen ManU, Chelsea, ManC, Leicester, West Ham in some of the lower 3 leagues.
With the escalating arms race on spending each summer, with clubs willing to pay £40m on key players and £6m in wages, even at Everton/Leicester/WestHam, it’s only going to get worse.

Absolutely! There is only one winner at the end of the season.

Yes. It won't necessarily happen in the next 2 or 3 years, but we'll eventually have to accept that we either join the bandwagon, or settle for life in the lower echelons. People have their principles I appreciate, but that's likely to be the reality.

The PL is like a massive magnet, which attracts all in sundry, whether they are rich and no interest in football and want to own a club because its fashionable, or because it's where all the beautiful people are!

Considering he's worth $30 Billion I can't see that being an issue, and if he ever needs advice on spending it he can always ask his cousin about what worked with Man City...
Lookers like Vincent Tan, Steve Parish, Mike Ashley .... a beauty parade.
The flies are also attracted to PL cash inflows (Glazers) or exponential rises in the value of their investment (Ashley), although some murderous regimes (Mansour) are using it to Sportswash their awful image.

Will get the Geordies up to around 4/5th place and a cup. The rest of us just drop a place but I suspect TB has a cunning plan

He has charisma... the same charisma as a Boa Constrictor.
HWT probably has you on ignore so won’t reply.
