The problem with foreign ownership is that whoever it is takes the club further away from it's roots. Roman Abramovich didn't run around in a Chelsea kit when he was a kid and I doubt their were many Sheikhs who ran around in Man City kits. The Premier League club is no longer the business owned by the local businessman come good like Martin Edwards, Sidney Wale or Jack Walker, it is the plaything of billionaires who want a trophy to add to their collection. Since Real Madrid & Barcelona are not for sale and German clubs have to be heavily fan owned, Premier League clubs are the ideal toy.
The Qataris are pretty much on a par with Russia & Abu Dhabi for poor human rights and lack of democracy. The stark fact is we have no choice, we either like it or we don't, there is no control or say from fans. But from the moment that the club removed itself from the stock exchange and became a wholly owned entity of ENIC, it was never going to be anything than a business, this is not the club of the early 90's that had shareholders who were fans, who had some kind of say or signifcance to the running of the club.
We are now the consumers and this is modern football, for example, check your most recent email from spurs, 10% chance it will be about our last match, more likely it will be offering free post and packing from the merchandise store. So whoever takes over, nothing will change for us, the only thing is we may have better players and a few more 'clingers on' and 'glory hunters'. That's a happy thought!!!
