For the second day in a row, someone is speaking some sense!
Remembering back to the Vialli disaster I think Platini is spot on with his observation that clubs need identity.
However I don't think it applies to owners quite as much as it does the playing staff.
I'm not that bothered really who owns a club. It can be done well by a foreign owner (Portsmouth) and badly by a local owner (Newcastle).
Its when either a foreign owner or manager brings all his mates (Hearts) or a group of players the fans can't identify with (us in 2001/02) that it doesn't work.
