Money laundering and sportswashing

It's why I can't get angry at having owners who are actual fans.

No one 'invests' in football. Except maybe the Glazers.

If you can syphon money out (by mortgaging the club and getting the fans to pay it off) then that's a model.

Tho one we wouldn't really be ripe for.
