    The Kroenkes must be confused AF this morning! This is probably the closest thing to a slam dunk that you'll ever get by American sporting standards - drastic increase in income, instant security after the pandemic, cemented status as one to the world's top sides, forever, nothing but big matches against the best teams every other week... they were probably sitting there by their iPads, waiting for the kudos to start rolling in!

    Listen to this bullshit.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAKieZUwx4E

    So here's the story.

    The big bad wolf in America knocks on the first piggies door. Little spud, little spud, let me come in. Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your toilet bowl down. So the little pig let the wolf in and the spud signed the contract.

    Then the wolf knocks on the second piggies door. Little chav, little chav, let me come in. Or I'll huff and I'll puff and I'll blow your Russian gangster pad down. So the little pig let the wolf in and reluctantly signed the strange contract that he (honest gov) knew nothing about. Poor little pig.

    Then the wolf feels a tap on his shoulder and it's another little pig, the gypo pig from the big fancy house make of gold bricks, with a pen in his hand. Where do I sign, Mr Wolf?

    You have to feel sympathy for these hapless little porkies who run billion dollar empires but really had no clue what they were signing or what was really going on.

    And we need more wahmen and diversity in the game btw. Just saying.

    Oh well, looks like the media is back to normal. Here comes the most unbelievable cover story since all the other ones.

    It was only a 23 year contract btw, so I can see why they didn't look into it too deeply. I do that myself. Some bloke turns up at the door, 23 year contract for something I don't understand in his hand. I sign, he laughs, job done. Happens all the time. Could happen to anyone.

    Yeah there were only billions of pounds and the entire future of their clubs at stake - easily skimmed over.
