Man Utd is bigger than Manchester.

“When he actually transferred from Dortmund to Real Madrid, we struck up a conversation. I was really impressed by his maturity and how talented he is, although of course everyone can see that. He's got a great future because of what's in his brain and what he's really focused on.”

Some thoughts on Bellingham there from "an investor and chairman of the advisory board at Birmingham City" Tom Brady... what is it with all these North Americans stars such as him and Ryan Reynolds getting involved with um less glamorous football clubs such as Wrexham etc

I imagine it's a combination of that level of club being easier for them to get involved in without risking too much, English football being the most lucrative Anglophone market, and the next World Cup being split between the US, Canada and Mexico.

Wrexham could look at Bury and assess where they might be in a decade if the $’s run thin

Vanity projects, they come, they enjoy the hoopla, they leave. They bask in promotion and hide during relegation dogfights when league football status is on the line. Not that Bury ever had a $ investment but McIlhenny would suck off an itinerant if it got him any press coverage

What does a lower league team do if £ comes calling? Really tough call but capitalism and gnosis aren’t made for each other. Look what Bury’s fans had to do to gain access to Gigg Lane etc, fuckin brutal

Can't wait to see the ultimate vanity project at Man City shrivel up and die after demotion to the National League.

Nah, let Chelsea rot, all their gurning half-Fulham cunts need a reminder of plummeting and landing hard

Pep is surely bored, 2 year transfer extension could be bought out, Liverpool perhaps but doubt it
