More financial doping in the lower leagues

It seems that Southend United are set to become the latest billionaire's plaything

http://southendnewsnetwork.com/news/qatari-billionaire-wants-to-take-southend-united-to-the-champions-league/

I don't know what's worse! Why can't this Qatari fella just head over to the emirates and be done with it!!!

What's wrong with it? If they get to PL, sure the fans wouldn't care

Arsenal would be a sounder investment!

According to one of his spokesmen, the sheikh, who made his fortune in oil and cheese exports, spotted Roots Hall from a helicopter during a trip in 2012 and ‘instantly fell in love with its rustic and raw beauty.’ He added: ‘His excellency had never seen anything like it before in his life. Three full size stands and some sort of shallow mini double-decker enclosure structure wedged between the pitch and some 90’s housing blocks – he knew straight away that this would be the perfect place for a footballing fantasy.’

You can understand why he chose Southend over Arsenal now....
