There’s probably something in the middle. One of the lower/midtable sides in those top divisions could get in and around the European spots with the right direction.

Yeah, but we probably don’t want a team in and around European spots because that’ll cause conflict of ownership problems - I’m sure there’s ways round it, but we’re kind of sticklers for playing by the rules - unlike some other multi-clubs proponents.

For City it’s just marketing for Abu Dhabi - I don’t think they’d actually care if they ever produced a decent player and you’ll probably find that half the City squad are “paid consultants” at a handful of CFGs other teams to get their inflated salaries off City’s books.

What Chelsea are up to, fuck knows - I think Todd Boehly has a bad case of oniomania.

Just don’t qualify for the conference league. Problem solved.

In Edwards defense I wonder if FSG tasked Edwards with exploring the deal with Bordeaux. They picked us on cheap close to administration and they might have wanted to do similarly again. It smacks of Lizard behaviour.
