So what?
The red bull multi ownership model is not good for the sport so the comment about business first and football second is a bit ironic
Not good for the sport but very good for red bull and the clubs they own. That’s not ironic.
I am not basing my comment exclusively on the Premiere League, every professional league and club is a business, just like Red Bull.
Huh never thought of it, was Red Bull really the first?
Daz just gud business!
That's not true. Their land and their old training ground was built near Paseo de la Castellana in 1963, but back then it was on outskirts of the city.
That land was worth fuck ton after 30 years when city grew, this is what the build on it after:

They moved to unconnected unbuilt outskirts of Madrid once again, which are still half-empty to this day, called Valdebebas.
Here's HITC Sevens episode about it, when I learned it from:
