        Off the top of my head: real sold their old training ground to the municipal govt for a fee far, far in excess of what it was worth. The govt then sold/gave them long lease on new facilities for a peppercorn sum.

            No, he’s using Nazi Germany as an example of how football has been corrupted by less than benevolent interests for a very long time.

              I mean yeah I get it, but that’s leaving out a relevant historical context as to why those things happened.

              I agree that Chelsea should not be seen as “where things gone wrong”, but pointing out to Nazi Germany to say things have always been wrong just seems whataboutism with a really low bar
