      So you think the UK should have had rules that prevented anyone from owning a club if they had any connections to someone who “wasn’t a good person”?

      It’s not even rational to discriminate against someone that was in the KGB, because that just means they were public servants working to protect their country.

      No, he’s using Nazi Germany as an example of how football has been corrupted by less than benevolent interests for a very long time.

        I mean yeah I get it, but that’s leaving out a relevant historical context as to why those things happened.

        I agree that Chelsea should not be seen as “where things gone wrong”, but pointing out to Nazi Germany to say things have always been wrong just seems whataboutism with a really low bar
