Off course SJm was not a foreign owner, and would not have just pull the plug if things got a bit iffy, he has too many other local commitments, and being British and British based would not have risked his good name.
Really I think it is time to phase out Johnny foreigner at all levels of the game.
Certainly foreign ownership of English clubs is very questionable, fair enough if you buy a top premier league club but other than that why would you want to buy an English football club? Especially as you’ll end up putting in quite a lot of money and not getting it back, hardly every going to make a profit
Why is that anymore questionable than having a local spiv ruining your club ?
Hardly anyone buys a FL to make a profit, but English football is a global brand and for a billionaire with more yachts and palaces than they know what to do with it’s just another status symbol.
Local spivs at least makes sense in terms of a link to the town/city with businesses etc
Most foreign owners would barely have heard of the towns/cities of the clubs they are buying let alone be able to put a pin in the map for that respective town/city
Not all English owners of football clubs are spivs btw
