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.
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:
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.

You have a red bull flair?
So what?
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.

Huh never thought of it, was Red Bull really the first?

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:

Daz just gud business!
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
