US Ownership Of UK Soccerball Franchises Isn't Working

 

The Glazers asset stripping Manchester United.

Lerner thinking that Tim Sherwood and Ray Wilkins are a cutting edge combination.

Henry trusting in Brendan "Entirely Out Of My Depth" Rodgers and Gary McAllister.

Short thinking that first Poyet and then Advocaat had an ounce of integrity between them.

And Kroenke piling up the cash while Arsenal don't have a forward nor any title of any consequence in over a decade.

And then there is Newcastle, who although not owned by an American are owned by one obese enough to be so. He has given you the most ludicrous resurrection of all time - Steve McClaren.

NB To be fair, some of the underperformance of Arsenal has been related to malicious hidden agendas at the Premier League.
For example, taking the post-Ferguson window, our EPL Top 5 Bias Index (based on key match decisions by referees) is as follows (100 = total bias in favour of a team; 0 = total bias against):

Manchester City 58
Liverpool 55
Chelsea 52
Manchester United 49
Arsenal 29
