If anyone is interested, on the Ornstein & Chapman Podcast feed yesterday, they had a really interesting discussion about the workings of a few of the football conglomerates like the City Football Group. The highlight for me was an interview with the Barnsley co-chairman Paul Conway. Here is a link to a synopsis of what Conway said

"The blind soldier fought for me in this war. The least I can do now is fight for him. I have eyes. He hasn’t. I have a voice on the radio, he hasn’t. I was born a white man. And until a colored man is a full citizen, like me, I haven’t the leisure to enjoy the freedom that colored man risked his life to maintain for me. I don’t own what I have until he owns an equal share of it. Until somebody beats me and blinds me, I am in his debt."- Orson Welles August 11, 1946
