Some even like football. The adventures of British footballโs foreign legion of owners are as diverse as their backgrounds. Even the successes are scarcely credible: an oligarch and a sheikh rescued their clubs from the abyss, turning them into grateful global enterprises. In these fascinating tales, the Sun sports writer & BFM pundit Bob Holmes takes us to oblivion and back โ and lives to tell the tale.
