Who said they hadn't, you dumb bitch? Learn how to read.

I mean they're the kind of banal exploitative evil found throughout our weird somewhat-untethered western capitalism. There's at least the hypothetical possibility of them being reined in with regulations or legislation instead of acting with impunity as rulers.

what the fuck? yeah man, citizens of a country, paupers and billionaires alike, are directly responsible for their government's actions simply by dint of geographic birth. totally, equally accountable, sure. Fenway Sports Group is the House of Saud, agreed, strange i never looked at it this way before.

Legit question for people better versed in football ownership lore than I - is Berlusconi being AC Milan owner while also Italy Prime Minister about the closest we've come to this before? I mean [puts joking hat on] it's Italy and i'm sure some corruption occurred etc, but there was never direct government ownership. Was it more or less overlooked because the worst of his transgressions were bunga bunga parties on the yacht?

i said in the last morality thread that I felt a kind of optimistic nihilism about it. There's precious little I could do to stop it in the first place and i'd like to enjoy being able to be happy when we win again. The movement it would take to make a difference now is one that would be mindbogglingly huge. And hilarious to the point of ludicrousness that it wouldn't have happened earlier for a billion better causes.

Not self promoting but I couldn't not say something. Absolutely agree with you, totally tasteless.

That better be a seriously out-of-season April Fool's joke. Jesus fucking christ.

An entire city literally partying at the news that you're fucking off. I really hope there was some tiny mote of humanity still left buried deep within Ashley that was hurt, even for just a second, at seeing the scenes

nbthree3 had to have snuck that in on the copy/paste edit: nope, it's in the article

I'm not. that gallbladder was a little fucker and I'm better off without it

I still had all my organs!

"you can have this full compensation package ... or the mystery box"

Actually got a CNN Breaking news alert about it on the phone, for anyone wondering if this is making news across the world.

Yes, It takes a petty, petty man to smugly gloat about being right all along on a day like today and that man is me. Requesting a scarlet D for doubter on all the haters’ profiles.

I’ve gone and eaten all my Halloween candy in one go. oh and we’re officially sold now too? Get in.

no takesies-backsies

i swear time is actually fucking moving backwards right now GET ON WITH IT

I'd be really happy if they just came out and flatly said we're not going to be massively overspending on S-tier players but we'll definitely start looking at the B-tier and maybe some A-tier players instead of the D-F tiers we've been bargain hunting in.

flight distance wise NYC to San Francisco is ~ 900 miles shorter than to London, 3400 vs 2500, give or take. Still a very long haul. Don't know if there are larger gulfs, e.g. Miami to Seattle.

"Steve, sorry to interrupt you, I've just been handed a note. It reads 'wrap up the interview this plank; he's no longer with the club.' Thoughts on that?"

I get that they're obligated to make noise about it but the PL already told people what it cared about when it rammed through this deal in 48 hours after the BEIN/Piracy brouhaha cleared up; the only reason they were ever ostensibly against a new set of massively rich cunts joining their product was that it pissed off the massively rich cunts already there. Unless "ethics" and "morals" are the names of new cryptocurrencies they don't give a toss.
