Having just been shown footage from the attacks of September 11th during a lecture being given here in London, the metaphorical similarities between the events of that day and the future of the sport we love are strikingly similar.
Picture this; the oil giants who have taken over Manchester City are currently hurtling that club towards disaster at a great speed. The situation resonates with the other clubs who have been taken over ( Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United ) and those on the verge of ( Newcastle). This cannot be denied.
We speak of a love for tradition, grassroots and community, but how can these things prevail when we have footballs business terrorists hijacking your club in order to make money or use as merely a pump to further inflate their egos!? I don’t care if Chelsea win the Champions League this year, it is not real. That club has become a Russian’s play thing. We should get all the Chelsea fans out in those furry Russian hats making “baa” noises like Syberian sheep.
I used to be a Man U fan and I hope they lose tonite against Aalborg. It was American dollars that paid for Berbatov. Let’s all follow Hull’s example at the weekend, that is what football is all about. If foreign investors continue to buy up English clubs then we are on a slippery slope to a souless dead snake of a sport.
It hasn’t happened yet but it can and it will and it is quite serious my friends. The Premier League could become a Ground Zero of destruction where one’s previous loyalties and passions lie smouldering as a past memory when your club used to stand for something.
