Liverpool have been sold
...subject to legal matters being sorted.

Assuming it goes through, the new owners will probably be good for the club but they are American, which is a dirty word for the club.
Any thoughts?

I doubt if the Glaziers are rich.
They have been using the club to finance their existing liabilities, and taking more out than they have put in.
Contrast with Abramovitch, buying silverware for Chelsea's fawning followers.
But ... if Abramovitch gets bored with his little blue hobby, and pulls out, Chelsea won't even be able to pay that month's wages bill.

Chelsea won't damage football.
They are not a big enough club to make any difference.
For as long as they have their sugar daddy, they will do well. When he goes, the big players will scatter to other clubs, and Chelsea's "15 minutes of fame" will be over.
Abramovitch could have bought any club at all. Buy them the same players, and they would be in Chelsea's position. Chelsea's success is not a reflection on Chelsea, it's just a reflection on Abramovitch. Football itself will carry on, unaffected.
Maybe Abramovitch will get bored with smelly London, and decide to buy a nice team in a pleasant town on the coast.

I suspect Arsenal ("the Gunners", right?) will continue to exist long after Chelsea have been dropped by their sugar daddy, and and disappeared back to mid-table mediocrity, and Manchester United have finally succumbed to the pressure of their ludicrous debt.
Now that football clubs have to run like a business, Arsenal are the highest placed "well run" club in English football.
They made a huge profit last year, it said on the News, and they are paying off the cost of building The Emirates Stadium way ahead of schedule. They don't borrow money, they are not dependant on the whim of a sugar daddy, and they are third in the Premiership.
