Check out the website redandwhitekop.com and you will see this has really ripped the ordinairy supporters apart. It is a great club that doesn't deserve to go through what it is going through.

I kind of have mixed feelings about all this. Premiership teams are attracting all kinds of foreign tycoons: legit and shady. Ideally, you'd want a guy who's loaded and has loved your team since he was a kid. Obviously, that rarely happens.
In any case, I wouldn't want the owner of my team to own other sports franchises.
