For Sale -One Football Club (and Football)

[Stavros]

So, Roman Abramovich is selling Chelsea. Anyone interested? Around the time he bought it from Ken Bates, surely one of the most offensive idiots ever to own a sports club, there was a joke going round

-What's the easiest way to become a Millionaire? Start out as a Bilionaire, and the buy a football club

THis article goes into the Abramovich situation, but hasn't football become the side hustle for mn with more money than sense? But can the UK Premier League survive as a 'global brand' without the financial input of crooks and swindlers, not to mention the odd dictator or two?

Enjoy, while you can.

The sub-title says it all-

"Chelsea fans air support for Roman Abramovich as they faced club backed by a nation that executed 81 people on Saturday".
