This week on the Fozcast, we dive into the wild world of football club owners — the good, the bad, and the ugly. From Vincent Tan trying to change Cardiff's kit colours to the chaos of the Venky's at Blackburn, we share some of the most outrageous owner stories in football. We debate whether you’d prefer an owner who pumps in cash into a club or tries to build a club slowly… are the Manchester United owners really that bad, and we uncover a potential Chelsea secret which includes Roman Abramovich and his nightclub plans under Stamford Bridge… Plus, we break down what PSR actually means in the Premier League and why Brentford’s approach deserves more credit. This one’s a belter! Let us know in the comments what owners you want us to look at next! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices [https://podcastchoices.com/adchoices]
