Not in this instance there isn't. The Government decide who we sell arms to and the government decide ( through their usless fit and proper persons rule/law) through a mandate to the FL, who can own or buy a football club
All this ethics in sport bollox makes me laugh, it’s all about money and we all know it is.
Personally I couldn’t give a toss who owns a club as long as they pay their bills and taxes. I think there is a case for having some kind of cap on spending in order to even up the field, but a better supported club should be able to spend more, that’s it as far as I’m concerned.
Like it or not, money rules the world and if we stopped trading with the Saudis, the Chinese, the Yanks and every other fecker with questionable governance we’d be back to subsistence living sharpish. I suspect the people making the biggest fuss about things like this would be the first to start squinnying if we went back to an ethical Stone Age.
We should operate as ethically as possible without cutting our own throats.
