Football is in a great spot when something called Project Big Picture and the creation of a Super League is seen as the devil but Saudi Arabia buying a club is totally fine.

I’d argue that it’s a symptom of a wider societal ill. We can’t expect much soul searching over football ownership when the result of humans being given access to more information than ever before is unprecedented numbers eschewing science, embracing lunatic conspiracy theories and believing that voting for the powerful, fringe-right demagogues with a track record of catastrophic failure their newspapers and media conglomerates tell them to is indicative of “independent thought”.

All I can say is that if Liverpool were ever to be taken over by owners with the track record Newcastle’s have, then I’d at least be respectful of the hundreds of thousands of victims at their hands. In fact, I hope I’d know I could have no part of it. 

 

I think what we’ve seen here is a microcosm of the society we’ve become. In the land of Wor Jackie, the ‘I’m alright Jack’ mentality reigns supreme.

Yep. It’s pathetic, but very much a sign of the times.
