7 Football Clubs Owned By Royal Families

[@yan.weather]

hey Alfie, would love to see a video discussing the logistics of Inter Milan and AC Milan at the San Siro, including their fixture arrangements in serie A

[@poet1978]

Following on from that idea 7 city rivals who would both benefit from sharing a newly built stadium

[@thebigbop5866]

Good idea, I've long been interested enough to be curious about that but not be arsed enough to do it.

I have been watching this channel for years, and I can honestly say this is the best video Alfie has ever made. Super informative, hilariously witty, and great all round. I can deadass listen to Alfie read the nutrition facts label on a chocolate bar and I would be entertained.

I expected a cool video about 7 clubs that are owned by Royal Families. I expected some jokes and jabs against those royal. I got shots fired the entire time and it was beautiful.

[@funisanartform]

Was hoping for a mention of Monaco and getting into the history of the royals involvement there, but then again they are minority owners now. Good video Alfie. Go and build up your own channel like the Irish Guy already!

Although the grass is amazingly lush at your ground it really is like 2 stables and a barn I could reach out and touch Vale players after we beat you 2-0 lol. Plus that lovely little estate it's on is gonna get even more overrun than what we did by some of the teams in League 1. Oh and btw you're welcome, if we hadn't beaten Exeter in the last game of the season you wouldn't be champions lol.

[@idkjustchangingmyname7343]

Alfie thanks for all the content! It’s always top notch and I always enjoy it. Was wondering could you do a video about football, the leagues, history, etc. during the war years? So like what did domestic football look like in WW1 and WW2?

[@pali-yoda7375]

[@MrReese]

If the goal of the Malaga deal was to move the club from the owner with the shortest name to the owner with the longest name they definitely succeeded. I had some seriously good laughs while watching this, very well done :D.

[@randommage1]

every week, we get closer and closer to Alfie breaking away and starting the “Alfie’s Sevens” YT channel

[@JimTheFly]

Have you been getting the feel like he's just turning up the heat on his virtual flamethrower until he's gets told to leave? He really sounds like he wants out of the job lately, at least to me.

[@mzy12]

Love the long anti-Royal spiel at the start Alfie 👏 Also the “Incase I get sacked” part is hilarious, are you hinting at something?

[@JimTheFly]

He manages to keep the anti-Royal part to just the first 24 minutes of the video. :P And he's been doing the "In Case I Get Sacked" probably for about a month. I really feel like something happened at HITC and he's just been making videos with more snark and personality ever since. Actually, they started a little while after The Irish Guy left so... idk. Correlation isn't causation but who knows?

[@neonyzr]

Hey Alfie you should make a video about Oletul Galati and how they went from playing in the same Champions League group as Manchester United to being fan owned in the Romanian 3rd division

[@valiciprian2061]

You mean Otelul Galati,right? Of course there was also Unirea Urziceni and FC Vaslui that played in Europe and had good results. In my opinion they collapsed because the state doesn't want sporting achievement anymore. The so called Romanian "businessmen" became rich from having business with the government and like the oligarhs in Russia are from secret services. These kind of people also don't care for sport . They care only if the sport can earn them some money. If they didn't they don't care anymore. So the only thing that we Romanians can do to save football is to copy the Germans and create new teams from scratch fan owned . Otherwise football in Romania will cease to exist.

[@johnmitchell2269]

@@emekaoguguo5023 Football as a whole, was more of a sport and less of a business back then. There were no financial super clubs meaning players would decide to join clubs for reasons other than just wages. Raith Rovers winning the Scottish League cup, something like that won't ever happen again. But it isn't just the masses of money invested into the PL for Scottish footballs decline. The turn of the millennium saw 'no ball games' signs all over every town and city in Scotland. Which saw a 'Playstation Generation' of youngsters in Scotland as opposed to a sporting generation, with an increase in obesity. Because before Andy Robertson and Keiran Tierney started playing professional football, there was a drought of talented young Scottish players coming through the system.

Salary cap would be great eh - then anyone can grow but not dominate due to finances only. there's a *bit* of a ceiling in the premier league for that tho anyway there's, so much money in the league that anyone from the top 6 could spend £100m+ in a transfer window and challenge again

[@Thaitanium73]

@@fpldirectory6753 Within 5 years Newcastle will no doubt be at the point of spending 400 - 500 million per window. The Saudis bought it for one reason, and that is to directly compete with the owners of Man City, it's just a status thing. Newcastle will soon have commercial revenue coming from everywhere. The owners are way too powerful for anyone involved to stop them, they have way too much influence over governments never mind someone like the premier league or UEFA. Just watch, they will go 'slowly' for a season or two, then go all out at it and there will be absolutely nothing that can or will be done to stop it.
