Pro or Against sheik monsoor/Abra etc taking over your club?


Poll added.

Money is great, but management is responsible for many shortcomings.

If they just inject the money and stay away, then yeah, if they want to pay football manager like Abra then hell no.

I'd rather get relegated to semi-professional leagues than sell our soul.

Still Chelsea were no where near to a big title contender before Abra took over,so he did more good that harm.

There should be a 'No' option, I don't want one but I prefer it to being relegated.

Explained in detail many times before in detail that i'd rather see my club die than have a sugar daddy owner.......

I am fully against sugar daddy owners and everything they stand for.

where is the option for Bunga Bunga??

Certainly not. Fan ownership FTW!

This guy said it all :mental:

Will Arsenal fans accept Usmanov/or any other sugar daddy taking over the club and doing a sheik monsoor?

One motto of my team is "Wir haben alles außer Kohle" (="We have everything but coal/money") - but this only prompts us to continue to work hard to keep afloat all on our own merit as it should be.

Arf!!!!

So when Keegan was dropping ding left right and center breaking British Transfer Records with Sir John Halls money your moral compass at this point was broken I presume?

I was too young to care at the time

Plus are you really comparing what you and Chelsea do compared to what we did?

Please you spent more on Joleon f*ckin Lescott than we did on Shearer ffs.

If it happened now i would be against it, i much prefer the Ashley way of spending than the Sir John Hall way of spending.

Yeah i mean, i was a PSG fan before the sugar daddy, and i was fine with it, they would make a run for the title, then flop. i would get excited but disappointed... I mean, i wouldnt dream badly about a sugar daddy taking on my club because you get used to what your club represents, your situation and you hope for them to accomplish more and more.

It would be an interesting question for clubs like Valencia, Atletico or even Spurs. The kind of clubs who have that potential to go for great things but lack that little extra in resources to accomplish it. i dont think Levante fans dream of a sugar daddy for example.

Also, If the sugar daddy is a fan from the club, the city and can identify with the core fan base, then HELL YEAH, bring him.

No sugar daddy owner could ever be as cool as the RWO president (the lightly clad guy second to the left):

I wouldn't mind as long as the Sugar Daddy doesn't put his hand where it doesn't belong. Power should be given to the Manager.

where's the "preferably not, but better us than sevilla or pathetico" option?

Thats a indirect FKING YEAAHHH ^^^^^

i would check that option myself, no to pathetico

No. We are the people's club. Barça exists because they represent the people of catalonia, and we want a sense ownership that we will never relinquish. But we are also the club of everyone that loves us. We want to be the biggest naion in the world. We are a democracy and we are the club Karl Marx dreamt of.

No, we're already the richest club in the world and we have fan ownership! SHIRT SALES FTW!

Not to burst your big bubble or anything, but Real Madrid has almost the exact same ownership structure and we're bigger than you. Jog it on son.

Not really, we have twice your members.

I think the socio system is pretty great.

I also like the "family" system that the big clubs in Italy have.

Still the bigger club. More money, more history, more fans (unless the hordes of bandwagoners have recently pushed you over ) and we dont have your nationalistic and xenophobic policies. You cant be a bigger club when only members living in Barcelona are allowed a vote. That naturally limits size.

Meh, family businesses have their advantages, but more disadvantages IMO.

Nope since we don't need it
