He sent goals by the other team to the scoreboard slowly?

They're not from the UAE.

Depends how it's done. I think Rwanda's sponsorship of Arsenal has been very effective for example.

The only owners it disqualifies are those subject to UK sanctions and if they were subject to UK sanctions then how did they buy the club in the first place and why weren't their shares in the club seized as part of sanctions enforcement?

Kind of wild that up until this point one could be subject to sanctions by the UK government and still allowed to own a Premier League football club

Kinda sad at the same time, it was such an impressive streak, crushing the rest of the field

I wonder what a disqualified owner is prevented from doing?
Can they try to enforce a sale? Abramovich sold of his own free will.
​
I think this is pure posturing and will lead to absolutely nothing.

Who do they think they are, the New York Jets?

They’re owned by the MLB equivalent of the Glazers

It was only a couple of them and despite what the news made out, MPs having a second job isn't against the law here

This is just the government's way of inserting themselves into making some of the money that previously was only going to the football governing bodies. Politicians literally wrote the book on corruption, I'd be surprised if anything meaningfully changed

Then how do they do it for badminton, which is far less popular?

It was a fake foreign business to show how easily they'd just sell out for 10K a year without even researching the company or asking many questions.

Don’t worry, number 12 will lead them to 13.

Shit it’s NJ stuff - worst ones where when my relative wasn’t there due to a pay to play thing with a bunch of the Dems in NJ - think they ended up doing about 1 mil into campaign donations. Everyone on their side was implicated but I think most of the guys receiving (politicians) still run the state.
I’m honestly surprised I didn’t get downvoted for that previous comment. Found this on the news tab and think anytime you bring up something Woodie Johnson or Avenatti based you just get buried on here.
