Stan Kroenke just bought a a 520,000 acre Texas ranch (list price: $750M)
Probably used the club as collateral. Every little 3m a year helps I guess.
Make 2mrw better than 2day
Mr Kroenke is squeezing what he can out of sport to fund an extensive land buying project. There will be a reason beyond him just liking ranches. He found an ideal cash stream (passionate fans) and he's milking it. It's great to have people like this in sport, really excellent. It has been so much better since his kind turned up. Spinning logos, wall to wall coverage of an ever declining game, mega prices on the gates, huge transfer fees, agents creaming it, old farts absconding with half a billion still proclaiming their love for the club (I bet they fucking love it, wouldn't you?), so much going on, so much excitement. Thank you Mr Kroenke.

Yeah. Not that I think we don't need cheaper ticket prices, but it's a bit ridicolous for Bayern to lecture people on ticket prices considering the disparity in their league born from them using their immense financial clout to literally buy the best players from their nearest rivals.
Additionally, being the only real super club in Germany they can dominate all the big German sponsors (Mercedes, Allianz, T-Mobile etc etc) whereas we have to compete with the likes of Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool etc etc for ours.

Liverpool's owners have cancelled their planned ticket increase and apologised to their fans. Their highest season ticket is at 865 quid!
When you look at how much Arsenal charge and continue to fleece fans while giving nothing back its ridiculous.
Liverpool are in a much more precarious position with their stadium expansion and need to back Klopp with some funds. They can't afford to piss off the people who have to part contribute and eventually fill it.
Always with the comparing. I couldn't care less. I've already said numerous times I think our owners are crooks, ripping off fans. Go have that debate with someone else.
