Mags selling their stadium to themselves

Football has become more about loopholes to spend money/money laundering/sportswashing than it is about the actual game, the teams and the history behind them or even, god forbid, the supporters who are the REAL lifeblood of the game.
Not a successful team in this country that gives a shit about the fans.
 

I honestly can't see why a "State owned" club would sell a stadium BACK to themselves???
Hows that work...Is it like me selling me bike back to meself?
Its some sort of deal thats just going off in one persons head isn;t it??
Like some sort of "Gollum" thingy arguing it out"
"What have I got in my St James,s"?
"I bought this bike...I don't like it..I'll sell it..I might then................ buy it"
Chansiri did it...cost us...got relegated to League1 by 3 points after being deducted 6..Common sense?
I honestly don't understand the sodding economics.
I honestly think Imust be missing something
I'm off to watch our misfits at Stoke on Friday..I might try a practical sorta test
I'll buy a cheeseburger outside the Brittania, bet 365, Victoria ground...(Whatever the f.ook they call it now)...Walk 10 yds then sell it back..to meself...I can't work out how much I would make outta that deal...UNLESS!!..I sell it back to meself for more than I initially bought it for!!..quids in !!!!



Ohh 'ang on..


F.ookin' ludicrous...

Buckled at that Gollum conversation 🤣
 
The premier league changed the rules so you can’t sell assets to yourself - however, I think this rule change only comes into effect from next season.
If that is the case I am sure we (and every other premier league club) are looking at how we can also improve our position within “this season’s rules”
Lets sell ourselves the world's most expensive pint for £300m
