‘Dear Glazers.
Shall we sit down and discuss how we can save football?
Yours, John W Henry.’
Something tells me this was not how the conversation started between Liverpool and Manchester United’s owners, despite their efforts to disguise these radical proposals as a rescue package.
Replace ‘save’ with ‘control’ and maybe we are closer to the true exchange. Clubs are dying because of the coronavirus crisis, but the Big Six cartel are looking at how they can make it work to their advantage.
