So it has been widely reported that Arab countries are trying to buy Chelsea Football Club and Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool Football Club is facing the credit crunch where money dried up literally with no money to spend on players and new stadium, while Chelsea Football Club is the owner is sick of the club as he wants the club to be the Europe's elite by winning the European Cup, but so far have been elusive to him.
With a combined worth of $1 billion of these 2 clubs, prehaps the Arab owners could have use the money to better uses. Maybe the following suggestions might work:
- Buy over all Singapore football clubs, improve the standards of local footballers with other foreigners. But then, it will only have negative spillovers as the standards of Singapore footballers is getting worse. World Cup qualifiers, Asian Cup qualifiers, not even a sniff at Finals. One best example will be England. Every foreign players plying their trade there, England footballers are on the decline, even their performance in the World Cup and no-show in European Championships says it all.
- Host World Cup in Singapore, or prehaps present the World Cup trophy to Singapore. Money can buy anything to make the world go round.
- Or to award the Arabs a Nobel prize for saving the current world economy.
Any better suggestions?
