Multi-club ownership: Chelsea taking Liam Rosenior from Strasbourg lays bare pitfalls of model

According to the article, Strasbourg has left their fans frustrated after the team's manager was sent off in a match against Crystal Palace due to a yellow card accumulation.

The article mentions that the City Football Group, which owns several clubs including Manchester City and New York City FC, has been accused of buying its way out of relegation and dominating leagues. The group's chairman, Khaldoon Al Mubarak, has denied these allegations, saying that his club's success is due to their "strong team ethos" and "excellent recruitment".

The article also notes that the French Ligue 1 club Troyes was saved from relegation after being purchased by a new owner who had experience of leading clubs in England. However, some fans have expressed concerns about the increasing influence of multi-club ownership in football, citing its potential impact on competitiveness and fan culture.

Overall, the article highlights the growing debate around multi-club ownership in football, with some fans and former players expressing concerns about its effects on the sport, while others argue that it is a necessary step for clubs to remain competitive.
 
πŸ† Strasbourg's manager getting sent off is like the ultimate joke, but seriously who lets a player accumulate 4 yellow cards in one game? πŸ˜‚ Meanwhile, multi-club ownership is just a fancy way of saying " rich people buying their way to the top". πŸ’Έ
 
OMG u no what's goin on 🀯! So like Strasbourg just got served by their manager gettin sent off in this match against Crystal Palace and it's like super frustrating 4 fans rn 😩. I mean I feel 4 them, but at the same time I'm all about Manchester City aka my fave team πŸ’™. But anywayz back 2 the article, so like City Football Group is gettin accused of buyin their way outta relegation and dominatin leagues πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ. Khaldoon Al Mubarak is all "hey we got a strong team ethos" but I'm like lol no he's just spendin money πŸ’Έ to win trophies!
 
I'm thinking, these new rich owners just wanna win all the time πŸ€‘... but at what cost? Like, they're buying teams left and right, no matter how well they're doing, and now fans are feeling like their club isn't even their own anymore. It's all about the money, you know? And I get it, clubs need to stay competitive, but can't we find a way that doesn't suck the life out of football? πŸ˜”
 
omg did u guys see that match against Crystal Palace Strasbourg's manager got sent off like what was he even thinking πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ anyway back to this multi-club ownership thing i feel like its getting out of hand some fans r just mad cuz their team cant compete anymore but on the other hand if clubs r gonna stay afloat in leagues that are gettin too tough maybe they need all the help they can get πŸ’Έ idk im not sure whats the solution tho probably just more debate lol
 
omg can't believe Strasbourg got robbed like seriously what's going on with all these yellow cards?? πŸ˜’ i mean i get it they're trying to crack down but come on manager's gone off?! πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ and now people are talking about multi-club ownership in football... like yeah we get it clubs gotta stay competitive but is this the way to do it? i mean khaldoon al mubarak says his team has a strong ethos but how many owners just buy their way out of trouble πŸ€‘ meanwhile troyes got saved by some new owner with english experience and now that's being seen as the solution πŸ’‘ i don't know what's going on but i'm kinda glad im not a football fan anymore πŸ˜‚
 
I mean, can you believe Strasbourg getting sent off like that? 🀯 5 yellows and they're down a man... I get why their fans are frustrated though. It's just not fair 😐. And yeah, the whole multi-club ownership thing is getting out of hand. Like, isn't the point of football supposed to be about the fans and the team? πŸ€” When you've got some big corporation buying up clubs left and right, it just feels like they're more interested in lining their own pockets than in building a sustainable team culture. πŸ’Έ I'm all for innovation and progress, but when does it get taken too far? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ
 
I feel like Strasbourg is getting a bad rap here πŸ€”... their manager got sent off and now they're the villains? I think it's just one bad game and they'll bounce back πŸ’ͺ. And yeah, multi-club ownership can be a thing, but does that mean they're buying their way out of trouble? Like, what about all the hard work put in by the players? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ It's not all sunshine and rainbows, but at least it keeps the clubs competitive πŸ’₯
 
I'm tellin' ya, this multi-club ownership thing is gettin' outta hand πŸ™„! I mean, Strasbourg's manager gets sent off and you'd think it's just one team's issue, but nope, everyone's jumpin' on the bandwagon. And Troyes gettin' saved? That's a whole different can of worms... I'm not sayin' it's all bad, but it feels like these big clubs are buyin' their way to the top and it's just not fair πŸ€•. What about the smaller teams who actually put in the work on the pitch? Don't they deserve some love too? I mean, I get that clubs gotta be competitive and all, but this ownership thing is takin' over the game...
 
.. have you noticed how all these big club owners are buddies with each other? It's like they're all part of some secret league 🀫. I mean, Khaldoon Al Mubarak from City Football Group saying his success is due to a strong team ethos and excellent recruitment... yeah right! I bet it has more to do with the connections he has with other club owners. And what's up with these new owners coming in and saving clubs from relegation? Is that just a coincidence or are they trying to consolidate power and control the league? πŸ€” Meanwhile, fans like Strasbourg's are left feeling frustrated and disenfranchised... it's all about the money and influence, if you ask me.
 
I'm still trying to figure out what's going on with all these big club owners πŸ€”... like, I get that they wanna win and stuff, but can't we just have some more genuine fan ownership around? It feels like the magic of supporting a team is getting lost in the business side of things 😐. And those yellow cards? πŸ™„ totally harsh on the manager, feels like it's gonna affect the whole team's morale. Anyway, I do think it's cool that Troyes got saved and all, love the French Ligue 1 ❀️... maybe this just means we'll get to see more of their awesome football in the future 🀞!
 
omg u gotta see this lol, so like Strasbourg loses their manager due 2 yellow cards and their fans r all frustrated 🀯 and then there's this whole thing with City Football Group and how they're buying their way out of relegation... it's wild 😱 Khaldoon Al Mubarak is denying it tho saying it's all about the team ethos πŸ™„ but i'm not buying it lol. and can we talk 4 a sec about multi-club ownership? it's like, on one hand it's cool 2 see these big groups investing in clubs and trying to make them better πŸ’Έ but on the other hand it's like, aren't we worried that they're just gonna buy their way 2 success instead of doing it thru good old fashioned hard work πŸ˜’ i dunno what's up w/ that. anyways, Troyes being saved by a new owner who's got experience in England tho... that's kinda cool 🀝
 
I dont get why some ppl think its okay 2 have these super wealthy club owners just buying their way out of trouble πŸ€‘πŸ‘€ They r more worried about making money than actually supporting their teams & giving them a fair chance in the league. Its like they think the game is all about who has the deepest pockets, not about passion or loyalty to the team β€οΈπŸ’” Strasbourg fans deserve so much better than this. The fact that some other owners are trying 2 shake things up is nice, but we need more of these people coming in & changing the system 🀞🌟
 
I'm really frustrated when top teams are able to buy their way out of relegation 🀯. It feels like there's no fair play anymore. I mean, what if they didn't have all this money and experience? Would we see the same team dominating every league?

And the thing is, it's not just about that one team, it's about the whole sport. When more teams are owned by multi-club groups, does it create a level playing field or do they become even more powerful? I'm worried about the fans, too - what happens to our identity and passion when we don't have anything to fight for?

It's like...we used to love football just for the love of the game, but now it feels like it's all about winning at all costs.
 
I'm soooo frustrated when I see teams get sent down to lower leagues due to silly yellow cards πŸ€―β€β™‚οΈ... like, what's the point of even having fans if they're just gonna sit at home watching their team get demoted? πŸ˜” The whole multi-club ownership thing is a bit dodgy too - on one hand I get it, some clubs need investors to stay afloat, but on the other hand, it feels like these rich guys are buying success instead of building it from scratch πŸ€‘. It's all about the Benjamins, right? πŸ’Έ But at the same time, it does make sense that if you've got the resources and know-how, you can lead your club to greatness... I mean, have a look at some of those City teams! 🀩 Still, as a fan myself, I just want to see my team do well without any shady deals or drama... is that too much to ask? 😊
 
πŸ˜’ Strasbourg's fans are right to be frustrated - all those yellow cards just cost 'em their manager... what's the point of having a big squad if you can't even give your boss a break? πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈ
 
Come on Strasbourg fans dont get your undies in a twist lol πŸ˜‚ its just a manager getting sent off. and btw what did they expect? he was racking up those yellow cards left right and centre πŸ™„. but seriously, multi club ownership is changing the game and im not sure if its all good or bad. i mean on one hand it brings in loads of cash and can help smaller clubs stay afloat but on the other hand its creating some pretty dominant teams that are just too big for their boots πŸ‘‘. gotta say though, khaldoon al mubarak sounds like a total dodgy geezer 🀣 his "strong team ethos" excuse is rubbish πŸ˜‚
 
man this whole multi club ownership thing got me thinking... is it really all about winning at any cost? πŸ€” like khaldoon al mubarak says his teams success comes from strong team ethos and good recruitment but is that just a cover up for the fact that he's throwing loads of cash around to keep them in top spot? πŸ’Έ and what about the fans who are getting frustrated with all these changes... do they not get a say in how their club is run anymore? πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ it's like we're losing the heart of football, just becoming another sport that's all about the benjamins.
 
I'm not surprised to see all this fuss about multi-club ownership πŸ€”. I mean, think about it - with more owners coming in, we might get to see some new and exciting changes in the way teams are run! Maybe we'll even see more transparency about finances and decision-making processes? It's a bit scary for old-school fans who loved watching their teams just be teams πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. But let's be real, the game is changing and we gotta adapt if we wanna stay relevant 😎. I've got no beef with City Football Group or whoever - they're just trying to make a buck (or should I say, a bunch of pounds? πŸ€‘) and put on a great show for us fans! And hey, Troyes getting saved from relegation is awesome news! More clubs should be able to breathe new life into the league πŸ’ͺ.
 
I'm still thinking about that new coffee shop I tried last weekend πŸ€”... they had this amazing cold brew coffee that just changed my morning routine 😍. Anyway, back to football... I don't know if it's true what people are saying about multi-club ownership, but it does seem like some of these big groups are buying their way to the top πŸ€‘. Like, I've seen some games where Manchester City looks like a different team from the one that played against Liverpool last season - is that just because they're spending more money or what? πŸ’Έ
