I make no pretence to following football for its own sake.
But I do believe in local patriotism.
The grounds of football and other major sports clubs should be as they are in Italy, owned and run by their respective local councils.
Both parties ought to be in no doubt as to who was in charge.
While the clubs themselves should be as they are in Spain, proper clubs with the fans as their members who elect the board, and who can decline to re-elect it.
Not to mention there should be heavy restrictions on the import of foreign players to allow local players to come through.
ReplyDeleteNo more Wenger style teams claiming to represent an English town when every player was born in France.
