That's why we need fewer foreign owners especially American here, I'd love to know what their plans are for relegation from the super league, they won't like that.

United's Chevy deal doesn't seem to have been done that way although I'm pretty sure the rules will adapt in time.

I think that's the crux of the matter. Whereas NFL is obviously huge over there and in fairness is pretty popular in other countries I get the impression the bosses are starting to realise football will always have more worldwide appeal and likely bring in more revenue. As much as I dislike and distrust him and his family, Malcolm Glazier made a shrewd move.
