Russia have put in a bid to host Euro 2028

Having seen how the big footballing organisations, UEFA and FIFA, have operated over many years it wouldn't be a massive surprise if the Russian bid is successful.

And if they are, no one should go.

As much as I applaud the owners for this. How are the owners actually allowed to use there own money to do this. What about FFP.
I have always thought it odd that an owner can come in and spend its own money to buy a club, but once it owns it, it cannot use its own money to invest in the club it has bought. ?

Oh, the irony of a Man City fan complaining about another club and FFP...

If Daniel James had an end product, he'd be immense. Sadly, he has the worst end product in the Premier League.

Remarkable that Italy have gone from European champions to not qualifying for the World Cup. To lose at home as well.......

That's a heck of a swing in emotions.
