Holier-than-thou? Andy Hamilton is a Chelsea season ticket holder, or at least was until last year. He is one of your own saying this, its not rival fans trying to banter you, or the media getting their knives out for the club.
I wrote my comment in response to the people in this thread, most of which have clearly not even read the article posted but just used the oppertunity to blame Chelsea for everything.
Should have clarified that, my bad.
Didn’t need to. Sports washing worked perfectly. Cleaned through billions of money in Chelsea. Along with that probably opened up many legit business opportunities. Cherry on the cake has thousands of people now like him.
Yep wev won it all and got our owner taken away by the government becuase of a war… keep hating we dont care.
We will be back and you can hate us soke more Hamilton you prick
Cant even win that title as an United fan. The rivalry is on.
Can we convince Boehly to sign the Glazers?
The red bull multi ownership model is not good for the sport so the comment about business first and football second is a bit ironic
Not good for the sport but very good for red bull and the clubs they own. That’s not ironic.
I am not basing my comment exclusively on the Premiere League, every professional league and club is a business, just like Red Bull.
funny to see english fans argue who the worst team is in their league
Flair of a corporation that started this multi-ownership bullshit
Huh never thought of it, was Red Bull really the first?
Can’t argue with that
So funny to see english fans argue who the worst team is in their league. Meanwhile, football is fucked anyway and its a business first and a sport second, so no matter if its the Saudis sportwashing or an American pumping billions into it, the image of that pure, innocent and local football sport is long gone.
You have a red bull flair?
I mean… Tottenham are one of the more sustainable and less shady premier league clubs, and Joe Lewis is far from a moral and stand-up fellow.
No private entity with the money to own a top flight club got there by being decent.
Lewis is absolute scum, but most of the damage he does is outside football
Joe-washing
Spurswashing, surely
Couldn’t agree more
It’s the same like when people constantly complain that UEFA competitions are “greedy, only money, they only want big clubs” etc., but then we have Champions League games and 99,9% of the attention is for the big clubs lol. The small clubs only exist to be the background for them. But when asked in general, they hate that “greedy UEFA” thinks like that completely unlike the fans.
Omfg, people who are the best in the world at doing something very popular are making money off it, this is so dystopian and I am such a victim that I am forced to suffer through this.
Spurs fans need a wash yes.
So what?

Daz just gud business!
That’s not true. Their land and their old training ground was built near Paseo de la Castellana in 1963, but back then it was on outskirts of the city.
That land was worth fuck ton after 30 years when city grew, this is what the build on it after:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuatro_Torres_Business_Area
They moved to unconnected unbuilt outskirts of Madrid once again, which are still half-empty to this day, called Valdebebas.
Here’s HITC Sevens episode about it, when I learned it from:
https://youtu.be/ao5gccLtRL8?si=3EfB8NVAbfrOsg3e&t=319
Here’s article about it, title is:
“EU Court rules Real Madrid got no state aid in land deal”

The thing is the drop in talent and quality is significant. People want to watch the best players and teams playing at an elite level
I just want to see fun competition. Eredivisie is high enough a level for me.
I do recognize I’m in the minority, though.
Eh, high quality football is also “””boring””” and data driven. So many cool football moves are as good as outlawed. You don’t need to look further than classic nr. 10 being a dying breed, replaced by players best described as ‘pressing machines’.
Much bigger problem/reason is that lower leagues aren’t media talking points(let’s face it, sports are men’s reality TV shows), finding a broadcast is hard, etc. It’s just much harder to get into if you aren’t local.
The Championship is a superb league. The quality might not be as good in terms of talent compared to the PL, but it is far more entertaining.
I love how local and lower level football really does answer nearly all of everyone’s concerns but they’d rather pretend the Prem was the only football league on Earth and they’re forced to put up with it. Absolutely self-inflicted.

Defending American billionaires lol. Why do we do this lol, we are such capitalist dickriders
Don’t worry, I think football was ruined well before Abramovich.

I fail to understand your point. How is getting a loan “ruining the sport”?
Also where do you get that they get loans with hardly any interest, if any? What kind of bank or financial institution is gifting money away?
Ok so by your logic
American billionaire who spends a lot = oligarch
American billionaire who is cheap = not an oligarch
That makes a lot of sense
I’m just amazed how they always pick the perfect Boehly photo for any topic.
Chelsea are the poster boys for where Chelsea have gone wrong

No worries
Not good for the sport but very good for red bull and the clubs they own. That’s not ironic.
Seems like a lot of people understand that statement as “omg they are the worst” but as i see it, it’s more like “football is fucked in so many ways, and these guys somehow check nearly all boxes”
Cant even win that title as an United fan. The rivalry is on.

In the case of Chelsea, both ways of understanding the statement are correct.
