Is he buying clubs or trading them. They can flout National regulations by moving players at artificial prices. This is nothing more than a financial raid on football. The industry, player, manager, community isn’t important. The issue is independent government regulations. Regulate the game or it’s gone.

How do we deal with inter company transfers that are not at market value over national boarders. What happens if two teams with the same ownership are drawn in European football. Football is ripe for USA funds. Substitute football for any other business it doesn’t matter. Consolidate drive down costs and then sell is the MO.

Same old marketing ****e in every country, cash flows to US investors.
