    "It’s the issue of multiple ownership, though, that has really brought the issue of what a club should be into focus. Perhaps it is true that, for instance, Salzburg benefit through their Red Bull link to Leipzig, but something vital must inevitably be lost. It’s not just that multiple ownership makes manifest the grotesque financial stratification of the modern game, it’s that it’s impossible to be truly Strasbourg if you’re part of Greater Chelsea or truly Palermo if you’re part of the City Football Group."
