Nah.
The shocking decline of Trent Alexander Arnold

As usual, he will be part of some group looking to do it. He's not buying them out of his own pocket.
When Peak 6 arrived some of their financing was based upon European group stage football every season. Mental.
When they’re still active? It’s a no from me. By all means invest back into the game post career but could you imagine if lots of other players start doing this?
Wouldn't surprise me if he hasn't done enough research to know if it's illegal. What's next? buying himself as the new signing?
Of course they have. Doesn’t mean it can’t be reviewed before completion, blocked and new regulations imposed.
I'd truly hate having him as an owner. Imagine your local club got bought by Trent 
Imagine some minnow gets to the German Cup final and then Kane just buys the club before the match
"Nobody is stopping me getting a trophy this time!"I feel pretty confident he’d still find a way to fanny it up.Imagine some minnow gets to the German Cup final and then Kane just buys the club before the match
He’s be banned from playing and Bayern would win and get wouldn’t get a medal.
It doesn't really tally up to me that you have footballers at the top level moaning about being overworked, and people defending it saying its the clubs/football authorities being greedy. Yet the players in this bracket are evidently overpaid SO much they can literally buy the football clubs other top level professional footballers play for.
Not really a dig at Trent more the fact this is even possible.
It obviously doesn't work from a practicality/sporting point of view. You could end up with the owner of a club playing against them in a major European competition which is only about 100% dodgy as feck.

We've had our fair of shite ownership these past few years.
Why would that result in thread title change?
I dunno, because he'd be part owner of United and in that ridiculous scenario you'd imagine there'd be a prime opportunity for a dumb pun in the title?
Trent is on 9m a year at Liverpool right now, and has only been on that much for a few years. He would scarcely have 5m to throw into this deal himself. A guy who no doubt has top class financial advisors and with a very very limited window of these kinds of earnings would not go throwing half of their net worth or more into something as unreliable as buying a football club. I bet his name is just in there as part of the group and he would have no say in the running of it compared to whoever actually puts up the money.

I know literally nothing about TAA outside of the football player but the day Kita and his minions get the feck out of Nantes will be one of the best days in the club's history so I'd happily welcome him as a new owner. No one can be worse than Kita.

You surely can’t actually think he has £140m laying around?
I mean, you do know that the bold is just very obviously not accurate, right?
Seems like it's his dad's money? He's the son of a billionaire or something?
I like the sound of that!
Regarding the £140M figure, the numbers circulating in France are far from that. Different sources say Kita wants between €125 and 150M. There were discussions a few years ago about a sale around €90M, while the club is currently valued between €60 and 85M. When asked about it earlier today, Kita got angry and denied the existence of any discussion. He bought the club for €8M in 2007.
That's why we have the 50+1 rule, so he couldn't do it. We are save against this kind of thingImagine some minnow gets to the German Cup final and then Kane just buys the club before the match
His old man was (is?) some kind of investment fund manager. It’s probably a VC type deal.
Or bullshit.
