We all knew their success was bullshit, let's hope this is the nail in the coffin that confirms it.

    They can financially dope all they wish, but the players still have to perform, the manager still has to do a job. Money doesn’t buy competence or success.

    Arsenal fans had Usmanov owning their club for a long time and begged him to own it fully at times too so it’s always funny when they cry about Abramovich.

    And the former shareholders of the club refused to sell any more to him, and passed away before cashing out on a sale to avoid him taking over instead of Kroenke because of his character. Not the same situation at all
