Why aren’t the owners of, for example, Liverpool and Man U, referred to as oligarchs?
Yeah, but my specific term was oiligarchs in relation to the Emptihad.

Probably cause that what it said in the article vickster posted……it stated, he has nothing to do with the managerial structure of liverpool. Also fsg invest in many different companies, his investment maybe going towards those other brands and not towards liverpool.

but i doubt the guy who donated $780 has much political power.

Werner donated a bit more than $780, though that was one of his contributions...

As for Klarman, he might not be directly involved in the management of Liverpool, but he has a stake in FSG, who own the club, and is therefor involved.

If you don't think that billionaire owners of sports clubs donating to political parties affords them a level of influence with those parties, that's entirely up to you, but I think you're wrong.

Never said they were. Both Liverpool and Man U were mentioned in post #24,763
But that was a posting from the Echo so I wanted to make it clear those clowns are not associated with Liverpool as it looked to the casual observer they might be.

Strange score at the Etihad.

City won 0-5 at Sporting Lisbon but tonight’s game in Manchester ended 0-0.

I was there last night.

Basically a truce. City didn't want any injuries, sporting didn't want a humiliation.

Everyone happy, most exciting moment for city fans was Scott Carson's appearance.

As stated already, just cause someone donates money, it doesnt give them political power…….

ive donated to labour, i had zero political powers given.

I've donated to the Green Party, amongst others, and I didn't get any political powers.

But then I'm not a billionaire.

Get a clue man, seriously.
