the way english-language based media (especially in the USA) glaze michele kang is so blatant and disgusting. 🥴
but yes please tell me how kang is growing women’s football and “taking care of players” by:
releasing the “homegrown” players who helped the club be promoted to the wsl
firing the manager who helped the club be promoted to the wsl and reach mid level status
side lining the “star” players like asllani (who joined the club when it was in the championship) for big, splashy signings
holding the announcement of its biggest signing in new york city without any connection to the home ground and fanbase
meanwhile, other teams in both the french and english leagues are losing funding right and left and being dismantled 🧐
for anyone who has worked in the corporate world, this is what it feels like when private equity/venture capital takes over a company 💀 so let’s not be naive about what this is all about 🤷♀️
