A Canadian friend of mine said to me years ago that the last thing that football needs is American owners. Regardless of where the money comes from the match day experience will change he said.

He gave an example of American football and the way working class people were unable to buy season tickets anymore. The best that they can do is a family day at a match per season because ticket prices rise do much that they can?t afford to go.

He is a Manchester United fan and goes once or twice per season which normally coincides with family visits back to see his wife?s family in Rotherham.
He said all of this before Manchester United had American owners!
