my own club, Arsenal, are trying to resist a takeover bid by a Russian zillionair, if he succeeds the spirit of the club will probably be lost forever
Agree, but if it was put to a supporter vote I reckon the majority at every club in the country would vote in favour of being taken over so that they can compete with Man U & Chelsea. 'We' don't look long term future of the club.
