It’s not going to happen, so STOP TALKING ABOUT IT!
LMA chief Richard Bevan is a bellend for even mentioning the subject.
The fact of the matter is the FA can veto any motion that 14 Premier League chairmen clump together and try to ratify. So if foreign ownership in the Premier League does rise from 9 to 14 and all 14 of these Johnny Foreigners fancy scrapping relegation, there is no chance of the FA rubber stamping it.
Do you honestly think they would risk ruining the rest of the football pyramid in this country, which includes Europe’s fourth biggest league (the Championship), for the sake of some guys trying to make a quick buck? If you genuinely think they would then I think this is the wrong sport for you sunshine.
It’s not going to happen so lets please move on to some other stupid irrelevant subject that the media can sensationalize. Maybe they will focus their attention on Carlos Tevez again in the upcoming days.
One important sidenote from this is that I’m pretty sure it is anti-foreign ownership propaganda. The media furore over the last couple of days has been outrageous, everyone quick to give their two cents to a pointless debate. Now any new ones trying to buy into the Premier League / Football League will be greeted with suspicion and probably be dissuaded from the purchase by protests.
Maybe that was just what Bevan was trying to achieve? Or maybe he was just being a clueless suit stirring shit for no reason. Either way I hate you all for buying into the argument. Just drop it.
Here is a second picture put in purely because its slightly relevant and because it tickles me (it’s from Newcastle United’s relegation a couple of years back if you didn’t realise)
