If you can't beat 'em. Join 'em.

Rumors are that a billionaire will be buying Liverpool FC.

Can FIFA allow this? A ruler of a country buying a team?

Either way, be interesting to see Liverpool fans view of Chelsea.

Arsenal cruise to a 3-0 win against Tottenham. Two PK goals by Gilberto, another goal by Adebayor, who looked real good.

so much for this variance we talked about. 3 botched calls=3 arsenal goals. offside not called, foul when player got ball for pk, foul on flop for pk, horray refs/complaining arsenal fans...

Meh, I am a grown man.
Adequately cynical in other words.
Football is big business, and foreign ownership is not new to the premiership.
As a non-scouse, non-briton 'pool supporter I dont care much for the anti-foreigner sentiments some have anyways.

I am glad we got this money, and I hope we will continue to go about our business in a sensible, ethical way.

And as for Chelsea, I always thought the criticism of 'all that money' sounded hypocritical - especially coming from the fans of big clubs like Liverpool and Man U.

Besides, it takes more than just money to succeed.
(Though you wont get far without it)

PS: It is not the ruler itself that is the buyer, but DIC, a consortium.

ticks, I wasn't commenting on foreign ownership. If someone wants to buy a club, and build a winner, fans should support that.
