KopTalk.com Forums Football Liverpool FC Forum Should the FA tolerate international gangsters?

I think it is unacceptable that international gangsters and mafia elements are allowed to buy up football clubs. In the Abramovich v Berezovsky case, Evidence is reported to include "Soviet gangsters, protection rackets, contract killers, arms dealing, and Glamorous Russian girlfriends" These mafia gangsters come spending vast sums of their ill-found loot buying up clubs and bribing the best players and managers in the transfer market. This process is distorting and corrupting the entire football scene. In my opinion the FA have a duty of care for the game and should be doing something about it. What do other people on here think?

I've never read into much of any of this but sounds interesting to say the least

I wouldn't mind a glamorous Russian girlfriend.

Spot on rafa

I think glamorous in russia means she uses deoderant and toothpaste.

The cold war is over.

Annefield we havr international gangsters running our countries- won't make any difference

As long as FIFA remains as corrupt as it is I find it hard to see how football can lecture anyone. And as someone else said our political class especially in the EU is not beyond reproach either. In fact a Russian gangster would be an improvement over many of them.

I reckon Gordon Brown was actually a Russian spy and he had a camera in his glass eye recording everything.

Agent Brown you have done outstanding work comrade you will be rewarded by the highest supreme soviet order. You have destroyed the evil capitalist British state.
