Football's Magic Money Tree

[Chester Perry]

There is a lot to like about Grimsby Town co-owner Jason Stockwood, though I do not always agree with him. In this months column for the Guardian he makes a lot of strong points about the path being taken by the ownership team at Birmingham City. The criticisms could be stronger, but there is much about football in this country that will remain an anathema to American owners, even as they exploit it for their own gain - I have yest to see one that is truly a custodian, in the traditional English sense, of the club that they own

Birmingham owner’s vision could transform city but football clubs are not just balance sheets
Knighthead’s ambitions are big but it will be telling to see how a profit-driven approach collides with an independent regulator
