Liverpool
Alright two more American owners come into the Premiership and purchase another legendary squad. Since I am such a Football virgin I do have some questions for those in the know.
Has the increase in transfer payments and the overall cost associated with the sport pushed away local ownership? If so, why do foreign sport magnets jump all over the purchase of such clubs?
The one conclusion that I have had about the above is this; the local share holders might be watching a stag nit growth of their clubs while looking overseas at the American ownership grow with their respective sports. The local fans watch the increase in salaries of the North American athlete and also see the growth that the local ownership is willing to take to please the fan and also increase revenue for themselves. The owner is building better multi purpose venues that are more fan friendly. Listen Glazer has yet to kill the Devils over the year.
I could go on but I am more curious to read what you think?
