Let me say this very directly. Football does not belong to investors. It belongs to the people who fill the stands and who stand on the touchline week in, week out, rain or shine. The World Cup is not a product. It is the greatest competition in world sport, and it was never anyone's to sell. Dress the deal up however you like. Once you have sold a piece of it, you have sold out. Football belongs to the fans. It always has, and it always will.

Hopefully the next time Danny Murphy discusses his cat, the best goal in World Cup history is scored mid-anecdote, so Bob is truly etched in history. "In the end, the kind thing to do was have him put down. There isn't a day that goes by whe..." "HAALAND FROM HIS OWN HAAAALF!"

"What did he say?" "I think he said unfortunately he’d gone feral and they couldn’t re-integrate him into the home and he ended up living with his friend’s parents in Preston.'"

Murphy's Law: Anything that can go wrong will go wrong. Schrödinger's Cat: The cat is both dead and alive until we open the box. Murphy's Cat: Any cat that jumps into a postal van will go feral and see out its days living with relatives in Preston.
