worthwhile post. On several levels.

Another American owner. We need some new rules to stop these fucking spongers taking over the whole league and ending relegation/splitting up the TV money etc.

Why would that make me feel better? He owns an American sport franchise. I don't want that mentality taking over professional football in this country.

WTF????? Explain that comment please?

I think a 'block vote' of American/American-influenced owners is something to be aware of for the purposes of Premier league voting. We've already had Liverpool trying to exert it's influence a season or two ago regarding a couple of things.
And we've just lost an ally.

The mentality of the most profitable and successful sports league in the world? One where more than 3 or 4 teams have any shot of winning every year? And where the top players earn way more than prem league players? Yeah that would suck for everyone. You can bitch about american football ticket prices for sure but the league is the top model going.

If they block-voted a new form of countdown stop-watch timekeeping for the Prem I would thank them for it.

I'm thinking of two things in particular, to which I have alluded. One - no relegation/promotion which means taking people's dreams away from them. Two - private deals with the television companies. I didn't allude to one particular league but American sport in general. I couldn't care less about how profitable the league is or how much the players earn. Most successful league in the world? By what criteria? Profit? See my first point. If more than 3 or 4 teams can win it, then fair play, that's a good point, but it's always the same teams as they don't have promotion and relegation. A bit like Arsenal/Rags/Liverpool every year, which is boring beyond belief.

If it makes you feel better, he is an awful owner. They all want him out. He only bought the team with the hopes of moving it to Los Angeles.
