What a load of Kaka!
Manchester City have, apparently, offered £108million for the signature of a Brazilian footballer by the name of Kaka. If they are successful in securing it, they propose to pay him £250,000 a week. We are told that Kaka will not be swayed by the amount of money on offer. He is a devout catholic and donates a large proportion of his salary to the Catholic Church. Whilst I am sure that he sincerely believes that such donations will benefit mankind, it is hard to think of a less worthy cause than that bunch of paedophiles.
Premiership football lost touch with reality long ago, and we should not be surprised that one of the richest men in the world has taken over one of our clubs and upped the ante to breathtaking levels.
On the other hand, before Rupert Murdoch came along and pumped huge sums into the Premiership, football clubs were bankrolled by wealthy local businessmen. Now that we live in a global village, what is so different about what Abramovic and Sheik Mansour are doing? And if it gives City a chance to eclipse that other, cynical, Manchester team, then it has to be a good thing.
