RT @kevinbridges86: Insane how desensitised we’re becoming to these daily headlines and how it’s just accepted now. Horrendous.

All of these issues would be avoided if football's governing bodies prioritised the long-term health of the sport and not what increases the wealth of millionaires and corporations!.
Red Bull, the City Group and INEOS all made relevant cosmetic structural changes to manipulate rulings and bypass football's loose regulations. See also: football club's selling their women's teams to themselves for accounting purposes. The sport is becoming increasingly absurd.

The myriad of issues caused by multi-club owners has been highlighted for decades yet football has waved it all through. The sport's governing bodies have treated clubs as market commodities and not as community institutions. It is driven by money and power. Nothing else matters.

What I need explaining to me is why Red Bull Salzburg and RB Leipzig can play in the same competition. Manchester City and Girona can play in the same competition. But Crystal Palace and Lyon cannot.

Only 1 of every 200 academy players make a career in football. @JohnnyGorman92 has asked what happens to the 99% who don't 'make it'. The results are alarming. Many are identityless, isolated from society, fragile. Football must do more. @TheAthleticFC.

Gianni Infantino in a rare moment of sincerity, providing an insight into his FIFA project. Football is a medium to make you very rich and very famous. Obsessed with status, access, celebrities and power. Whether it's his courting of Trump or Salt Bae. This is Infantino's FIFA.
