Unfortunately the money men now have full and total control of the " People's Game " and they are extremely unlikely to relinquish it anytime soon .
I say unfortunately but there are a number of good extremely wealthy owners who have transformed the clubs they own successfully .
Kingpower at Leicester City are probably the pick and they have invested in the city as well as the club .
Until these people come through the door you don't know for sure what you are getting .
As fans we are powerless if things turn ugly and I feel that's probably what fuels fans frustrations .
Back in the day the chairman and directors were accountable to the shareholders and could be removed at election time .
No such luck today I'm afraid and those old models of ownership are rare today especially in the top two divisions .
The reason we have the models we do today with often ownership from overseas is simply down to the money that's come in to the game since the formation of the PL with the opportunity for publicity and glamour too I might add .
There's definitely a case to be made for a regulatory body in football today and not just for the fans concerns some of these owners need saving from themselves including that idiot down the road at S6 .
