Wouldn’t bat an eyelid were a far richer US Billionaire be in the running. Take a look at the world’s richest list. See who is really benefitting from US hegemony, And BTW which club and owner is far and away spending more than anyone since Roman was removed?
Ah yes.
Sheffield United have a Saudi owner - a member of the house of Saud - do they have a bottomless pit? Do people on this forum actually believe that it is EXCLUSIVELY members of the Gulf states who have the means to spend without it affecting their pocket?
This is the point I am making - most of this forum is just like the wider British public - totally conditioned and deluded.
Simply reacting to the planted fears projected by a media entirely owned by the very people who benefit the most from the current status quo. That status quo DEPENDS on the petrodollar.
This is the real reason WHY gulf states are able to act with impunity inside the theatre of western sport.

Again, you're not even reading the posts ffs! Miller has pointed out what his potential stance was (and is for myself as well). IF the 'even richer US billionaire' pumped the same kind of money into any club then it would still be an issue. The nationality has nothing to do with it.
Nobody has an issue with the Sheff Utd owners bacause they're not sinking 'silly' money into their club.
I cant speak for everyone, but you want to push some sort racist slant on everything when it comes discussing owners/money.
I certainly dont want to be included as such. I've made my points very clear. I do not care one jot where/who the money comes from. It's a simple fact that the money at the top of the game is too much, and it's created a lopsided competition in all the top 5 leagues and Europe.
