Brits Strike Back By Taking a Mallorca Sized Chunk of La Liga

Everyone has had a moan about the amount of foreigners in English football and not just amongst the players and coaches either.

Foreign owners have come in for tremendous criticism over the last few years but not usually from the fans who’s club suddenly have millions to spend. English clubs are being bought up left, right, and centre by rich foreign businessmen.

Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Manchester City, and Aston Villa—to name just a few.

So what can we Brits do?

Well it appears English businessman Paul Davidson has the answer….buy a foreign club, well, 96% of one.

After all, like British players, British clubs are overpriced and usually up to their necks in inflated wages, so why not do what all top British clubs do and look for a bargain on the continent?

The Englishman bought the majority of La Liga’s RCD Mallorca for around £50 million, which is small change compared to the takeovers of Liverpool and the likes.

Now an Englishman has a chance to meddle in a foreign teams affairs and hire and fire at will. Not only that but he can do so in the sun while watching Barcelona, Real Madrid, and the likes visiting the Balearic island.

I envy the man, it beats owning Middlesbrough that is for sure.

So who is next for the taking? Clubs in Spain are struggling financially and are not all as bullet proof as the big two. Just ask Valencia, who are on the verge of not existing at all.

It would be great to see more British owners abroad, restoring balance to the football scales.

Is anyone with me?

Anyway, that leaves just one more important question…

Has anyone told Ken Bates that Valencia are available for a pound?
