Graham Kelly had plenty of opportunities to right many of the wrongs in the game of football but it appears that the desire to do so has only ever woken in him since he was kicked out.
His kicking of Liverpool is to be enjoyed but the architect of the Premier League, Eric's chief persecutor and all round greedy twat has the taste of sour grapes on his breath.
'It appears the £60minjection is sorely needed by Liverpool if they are to buy new players and prevent Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United from disappearing over the horizon and, moreover, seal relocation to a new stadium. However, it is rumoured that some of the Eastern riches will merely serve to enrich shareholders, including 51 per cent owner and chairman David Moores, who has traditionally been regarded by the fans in a kindly light.
The potential ownership of just under 30 per cent of one of our greatest clubs by a head of government who has blood on his hands raises some interesting questions, not least for our own government, whose minister for sport, Richard Caborn, has wrung his hands metaphorically and ineffectively, saying that he preferred clubs to be part of their local communities.
Also, the FA has yet to publish its long-promised "fit and proper person" test for those wishing to own and administer football clubs. This case could demonstrate just how difficult that principle is.
Who is the FA to make moral judgments on the colour of an investor's money? Why should Thaksin Shinawatra's cheque be returned to sender and not Roman Abramovich's? The FA should be judging whether a person's record in business or in football is such that he or she is capable of running a club.
As we are continually reminded there are plenty of people already in the game to whom the FA could usefully apply some investigative rigour. The scandals of the obscene payments to agents just won't go away.
Eventually, I believe the views of the Liverpool fans on an investment by a government with such a dubious record will be conclusive.'
