The top of our game is just sick - the only way to achieve success seems to be to hook yourself up to a dodgy regime or a sovereign wealth fund (or both). Chelsea have been caught out (not that there is likely to be much in the way of consequences beyond this season), but they're by no means the only ones. Even we were happy to jump into bed with the Bahraini royal family, even if it didn't turn out to be them in the end.
