Super League

Clandestine meetings behind
closed doors

A Super League discussed

Not for the love of the game

Or even consultation taking the supporters or fan's or even
the actual player's views into consideration

As to the foreign overseas owners
what to them they purchased
was merely seemed just another
business acquisition

A Russian Oligarch , Arab Sheikh ,
American between the lot could
not get or figure out

That football though to you
may be nothing more than
a business acquisition

But to the fan's and the supporters
of that club

Is to them being bought their
first kit going to their first match

The connection between them
and their Dad

There town be that city

The colours of their chosen team

Their identity

As football to some is
 
Not a matter of life or death

It's far more important

Professional sports teams are businesses bent on making money. It becomes a shame when sports is controlled by greed. Nice write.

Money is only interested in making more money Christopher, the owners have no allegiance to their club, no more than some of the players, this will come back round again only in a more circuitous route, the waters where only tested, cheers David

Football is for the people .. it is simulation of conquest ... it is a dispute to see who wins ... it is not a marked game. Not everyone supports Madrid, Manchester City, United, Barcelona, Milan ... Everyone pro according to their personal history, their experiences , life ... I don't like to watch 10 consecutive matches of my team, nor the best in the world ... Santos , Brasil was once the greatest team in the world ... Without playing how could it be back to being the greatest ....? alkas

Like you said Not everyone supports the big team's you just said. And i would go as far as to say. Is their success not based on buying and acquiring the best talent the world has to offer. Victory bought not acquired. And now thet want to tip the balance even more in their favour
