Of course, football is even more modern with investors, which not everyone in Germany wants to understand, but that's another topic. Let's take a closer look at England, the land of abundance. For example, the question of how many goals Erling Haaland will score this season continues to be very exciting: 60? 70? 116?

116 would be good. So symbolic. One goal more than the Premier League had recently poured out to its own employer, i.e. Abu Dhabi, pardon, Manchester City, when it had compiled 115 violations of league regulations between 2009 and 2018, which are now to be evaluated by a commission.

In court and on the high seas, a Norwegian alone does not help, and so the lawyers of the best club in the world now want to turn off the allegations like Haaland the opponents. Pep Guardiola wants a quick clarification, but in court and on the high seas, others are responsible for the tactics.

British newspapers predict that the proceedings will take two to four years, perhaps longer, and the first issue will be the role of the Crown Attorney who appoints the Commission. Murray Rosen KC is a member of Marylebone Cricket Club – and Arsenal FC.
