I don't think anyone has any sympathy for Barcelona.
But NQ is right in that, this shifts football further away from the fans and solidifies it as being a plaything for oligarchs
In the 1980s we had Steau Bucharest which was Ceaucescus favourite toy
As far as I'm concerned my fondest desire is to live long enough to see Nuclear Fusion come to fruition, and the amount of oil these cunts own will count for nothing anymore.
It's true, oil/gas has destroyed football.

It's shortsighted. Clubs will always be owned by some super rich bastard or corporate entity. You only have to look at Stan Kroenke as an example Or would you prefer a set up where funds come for the government? Way to many shady set ups for me to get into.
If it's a moral issue, fans need to take a closer look at what's going on because we ultimately fund this. You can support a local smaller team.
I drink and I know things.

Perhaps but as I say I'd be quite happy for people not to wield power and influence because of their ownership of an unsustainable mineral sludge.
For instance we won't have to pretend that the Al-Saud family aren't cunts.
The rules of football ownership will only change with directives from FIFA. It will take more than this financial fair play stuff that the potential Neymar transfer has shown to be utterly weak.

It makes no difference to me. If you ask me, Real Madrid started the bullshit by stockpiling as many World Player of the Year players and contenders in squad and then Barca and Utd tried to follow. The rules are there to protect the status quo.
