...regulars at the rickety Stonebridge Road stadium welcome their numerous new owners, any more than if a Russian or American billionaire had swooped in as at some Premier League clubs - after all, they didn't vote for democracy. One posting on BBC Radio 5 Live's 606 online forum, opines that non-league fans, "don't care about the Premier League or winning the FA Cup. It's about being involved in the community.

"There is no global consumer for the food-and-beverage business. This is a deep belief we have," Brabeck says...
...then--trouble, both on and off the field. Corinthians president Alberto Dualib fueled speculation that Joorabchian had ties with a Russian tycoon wanted in Russia for alleged financial fraud. Elimination from the Copa Libertadores, South America's premier club competition, led to violent protests by fans.
