I know the phrase should be “Gambling: it’s a mugs game”, but in light of speculation yesterday that yet another English Premier League club is about to be sold to foreign investors, I can’t help feeling that the original phrase should be changed.

The saga of the Glazers’ Manchester United ownership took yet another turn this week with the announcement that the company will undertake a public listing.

This is the latest in a long line of stories linking the Glazers to a partial or full sale of the club.

A new listing would complete the circle.

I can't wait to see the new Blackburn Rovers “CEO” emerge from the Lancashire hills.
