To me they are two seperate concepts. If a fan owned club has a shareholder who wants to pump a bunch of money into the team, and the other shareholders are on board with that, I think they should be allowed to. I don't think FFP is a good rule on a lot of levels (as we've discussed ad naseum on here) so I'm not really pro-oil money clubs so much as I am pro-anyone who thumbs their nose at this bad rule.

But also I am 100% red half of Manchester for the next 7 days at least and if yall beat Hull it'll be for a lot longer

The 50+1 protects the clubs from being run into the ground and left for dead like what happens in other countries. Which is one of the reasons ffp was put into place.

Most German fans despise the sugar daddy clubs. It's why Red Bull is looked at like they are sub human. They are making a mockery of the 50+1.

Even clubs like Wolfsburg and Leverkusen with their big investment are still protected bc the fans have control and a say. Red bull only has 8 members I believe all of which are red bill employees.
