what an absolute clusterfuck. When the world relies so heavily on oil and you gotta lot of it, have incredible wealth, so much so feel above the law and that rules don’t apply,,a lot of that money is not so much earned as passed down through generations giving opportunity to buy anything one wants, without real understanding of earning it, it’s I like this I want it, no saving up, just instant now, this attitude was attached to Manchester City, I:want I like I buy, including players staff trophies, used to things now, no real concept of being patient, got unlimited wealth. The Prem is of cos guilty and shown to be competent,, but how many were paid off to look the other way along the way.
Impossible to punish them enough, can’t turn back the clock they sail have The Agueerroo moment, , 13/14 was amazing, I couldn’t celebrate post humous title. Citeh almost had an unchallenged monopoly on the Prem League expect for one club and one Man who was able to harness the passion of the fan base and magic of Anfield, along with unlimited charisma and energy… until it wasn’t and it took a toll on his health. Klopp may still have been Liverpool manager now and not managing Germany.
No matter what happens to Citeh there blueprint is for ever= indelibly etched ion the Prem, any future titles won, for me won’t have the same resonance, yes won but there was no Citeh to challenge defeat.
2 legacies they do leave is they inspired an excellence of football and points tallies will never likely see again and also the infrastructure of the Citeh training and academy, players who came through their ranks are everywhere and mostly vey talented.
I feel it’s wise not to throw stones in glasshouses, Bezos has put money up for this large stake of LFC, he is in the Epstein files. Sport as a whole has been Infiltrated by the corporate world and ideals and is now deeply entrenched. They do not care about fair only money, and the so called ruling bodies are of also corrupt,
