- From the Saudi Arabian ownership regime at Newcastle United to Qatari royals at Malaga, in light of the Queen's Platinum Jubilee, HITC Sevens takes a look at a number of football clubs that are owned by individual royals or ruling royal families and monarchies.

hey Alfie, would love to see a video discussing the logistics of Inter Milan and AC Milan at the San Siro, including their fixture arrangements in serie A
Following on from that idea 7 city rivals who would both benefit from sharing a newly built stadium
Good idea, I've long been interested enough to be curious about that but not be arsed enough to do it.
great idea, got roma and lazio to add to that list too!
@@poet1978 this 🤌🏻
To be precise, the logistics of the San Siro (AC Milan) and Giuseppe Meazza (Inter Milan), which obviously is the same building.
I quite regularly see pundits getting that wrong.
The amount of sarcasm here is truly breathtaking. Archie shoehorning in top aggression is art.
Great British humour
This guy single-handedly pissed off 5 royal families. I love it
@@DJFAmenHeavy No he doesnt and that question is dumb
You know what humour is? No. I thought so.
@@DJFAmenHeavy Using gay as an insult? Well it seems like your intelligence levels can't stoop any lower after this. Prove me wrong
@@DJFAmenHeavy I’m gay, and i know more about footy than you
@@DJFAmenHeavy stop projecting
If Alfie suddenly disappears the list of potential perpetrators is getting ridiculously long
Plot twist: Alfie actually thinks monarchies are the right way to go
He is actually heir to the British throne. Trust me bro.
This video was a total mess
Not gonna lie, I almost believed you when you said Prince Andrew owned Young Boys FC of Switzerland. LMAO
A match made in heaven
lmfao the Young Boys bit had me in tears. Another cracking video, Alfie.
It had me cracking up in public🤣🤣
I really enjoyed this Royalty-bashing video where Alfie mentions football once or twice. :D Now seriously, good stuff!
Hilarious!
I have been watching this channel for years, and I can honestly say this is the best video Alfie has ever made. Super informative, hilariously witty, and great all round. I can deadass listen to Alfie read the nutrition facts label on a chocolate bar and I would be entertained.
Nation state owned clubs. Something Uefa and FIFA would strongly deny exists. Then you realise the owner of PSG is part of the Uefa panel.
Was hoping for a mention of Monaco and getting into the history of the royals involvement there, but then again they are minority owners now. Good video Alfie. Go and build up your own channel like the Irish Guy already!
I expected a cool video about 7 clubs that are owned by Royal Families.
I expected some jokes and jabs against those royal.
I got shots fired the entire time and it was beautiful.
Love the satire in this one Alfie! Hilariously showing the poor excuses used for Monarchies!
Alfie thanks for all the content! It’s always top notch and I always enjoy it.
Was wondering could you do a video about football, the leagues, history, etc. during the war years? So like what did domestic football look like in WW1 and WW2?
That would be a great video! Always wondered
A video about the success story of Port Vale since Carol Shanahan took over, considering we just won the playoff final.Her charity work, bringing in Darrell Clark, then the things he went through this season. Plus we were on a winning streak and 1 point off the playoffs and she voted to end the first covid season early.
See you at the theatre of greens.
The Success of Forest Green Rovers first ;)
@@daveconnelly1397 Yes with a massively rich rich owner how could they ever fail.
Edit: Although tbf I do have to admit the whole none carbon, none meat eco warrior thing is fair play. Plus it means I can do what I like aslong as every Forest Green fan sticks to it lol.
Although the grass is amazingly lush at your ground it really is like 2 stables and a barn I could reach out and touch Vale players after we beat you 2-0 lol. Plus that lovely little estate it's on is gonna get even more overrun than what we did by some of the teams in League 1.
Oh and btw you're welcome, if we hadn't beaten Exeter in the last game of the season you wouldn't be champions lol.
Btw mate, all in jest, I really respect Forest Green and they're kit is amazingly good!
@@OfficialFingazMC Port Vale burst three coupons in a row for me in 2012. So I still hold a grudge against them for that, but they went someway to redeeming themselves with that performance against Exeter. Lovely last day of the season.
I had no idea you were such a staunch monarchist 😉😉😉😉. I am right there with you.
Would you believe that some people think that the French had the right idea by lopping the heads off of all of their royals?🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
Fellow Thai royalist here🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑
Alfie If you are ever looking for another lesser known scandal in my country of Guatemala our national team got banned for 2 years from competition due to match fixing. After the ban many of the same people who got in trouble ended up selecting their own replacement. Love the videos keep it up!
The second I saw Young Boys I knew a Prince Andrew joke was coming and still made me laugh
23 minutes of pure royal roasting... loved it
"7 infamously sweaty nonces" can't wait for that video
I think a good topic would be a history of Scottish football and how Premier League spending has contributed to its current state .
SPL and top tier English football used to go toe to toe
That ended in 92 with Sky money. SPL has been a two team league ever since sir Alex Ferguson left Aberdeen in 86.
@@johnmitchell2269 agreed
I’m old enough to remember Rangers breaking the British transfer record and Rangers nearly making the champions league final , beating the English champions on the way
Puts this in context
@@emekaoguguo5023 Football as a whole, was more of a sport and less of a business back then. There were no financial super clubs meaning players would decide to join clubs for reasons other than just wages. Raith Rovers winning the Scottish League cup, something like that won't ever happen again. But it isn't just the masses of money invested into the PL for Scottish footballs decline. The turn of the millennium saw 'no ball games' signs all over every town and city in Scotland. Which saw a 'Playstation Generation' of youngsters in Scotland as opposed to a sporting generation, with an increase in obesity. Because before Andy Robertson and Keiran Tierney started playing professional football, there was a drought of talented young Scottish players coming through the system.
@@johnmitchell2269 Just curious, why were they signs like that? Did ball games in Scotland become associated with violence or something?
@@kauswekazilimani3736 The elderly would complain about kids playing football to the local councils.
Hey Alfie you should make a video about Oletul Galati and how they went from playing in the same Champions League group as Manchester United to being fan owned in the Romanian 3rd division
You mean Otelul Galati,right?
Of course there was also Unirea Urziceni and FC Vaslui that played in Europe and had good results. In my opinion they collapsed because the state doesn't want sporting achievement anymore. The so called Romanian "businessmen" became rich from having business with the government and like the oligarhs in Russia are from secret services. These kind of people also don't care for sport . They care only if the sport can earn them some money. If they didn't they don't care anymore. So the only thing that we Romanians can do to save football is to copy the Germans and create new teams from scratch fan owned . Otherwise football in Romania will cease to exist.
Just another thing Over in Romania
I feel like this could be the last Alfie's video under HITC
the royal bashing was so cathartic after all the shite in the media over the last few weeks
If the goal of the Malaga deal was to move the club from the owner with the shortest name to the owner with the longest name they definitely succeeded.
I had some seriously good laughs while watching this, very well done :D.
My favourite video of yours so far, mate. Very funny. You're just getting better as you go! Crack on, Alfie.
God, I love this guy’s intros.
Love the long anti-Royal spiel at the start Alfie 👏
Also the “Incase I get sacked” part is hilarious, are you hinting at something?
He manages to keep the anti-Royal part to just the first 24 minutes of the video. :P
And he's been doing the "In Case I Get Sacked" probably for about a month. I really feel like something happened at HITC and he's just been making videos with more snark and personality ever since. Actually, they started a little while after The Irish Guy left so... idk. Correlation isn't causation but who knows?
Dude, this is YOUR BEST intro ever... and you have made some really good ones!
Prince Andrew and the Young Boys/girls joke is one of your best Alfie
every week, we get closer and closer to Alfie breaking away and starting the “Alfie’s Sevens” YT channel
Have you been getting the feel like he's just turning up the heat on his virtual flamethrower until he's gets told to leave? He really sounds like he wants out of the job lately, at least to me.
Not one word minced the entire video.
Love to see it.
Blessing us with another great intro once again
Your intro was spot on mate . Brillian!
Love the bit on the monarchy at the beginning, never change Alfie
Brilliant absolutely brilliant, really enjoy this channel so informative
the start of this video was amazing. My feelings exactly. You have earned a sub 🤑
A right royal roasting this one, Alfie. Much needed thank you.
“The Seven Infamously Sweaty Nonces”
Fucking Hell, Alfie 😂😂😂
I only recently discovered this channel. I just wanted to comment that the humor is fantastic. The intro to this video is comedy gold.
Absolute quality alfie! Loved the vid
I love that intro
Next video will be a tribute to Alfie. We will remember his comments on Saudi Royals and previous comments on Putin etc.
Now that Nottingham Forest are back in the EPL can you do a video about their rise from the 2nd division under Brian Clough and then went on to win the league and back to back European cups to their relegations from the Premier league and then being relegated down to the 3rd tier before coming back up again it would be very much appreciated if you could cover that.
Pretty sure that video has been made.
Love the sarcasm at the beginning.
Day 10 - The Fall and Rise of FK Velež Mostar
From a Club that has beaten Borussia Dortmund, Twente, Derby County and many others to a club that was forced from their own stadium, reduced to nothing during the Bosnian War, becoming a mediocre top-level team in the 00s to nearly being forced into folding in 2016 to its amazing rise back to the top-level football which culminated in return to Europe after 33 years which has seen elimination of Coleraine before a suprising win over AEK Athens before exiting 3rd Round against Elfsborg IF and recently continuing in the Cup win this season which has ensured another European summer next season
Incredible stuff yet again.
Video on the 22/23 PL teams, where were they during the inaugural season of the PL (like what division were they in)
Hands down by far the most hilarious video made. Kudos with the punchlines
I think this has been my favourite video on the channel
Can you do a video on the worst play off hangovers? Teams that had great campaigns, lost in the play offs, and did terribly the following season
Alfie’s banter is going through the roof!
Best German players in the premier league of all time. (Day 332)
I will not give up until the video is made or Alfie himself tells me to stop. Everyone else telling me that will be ignored.
If you don't believe my number, just go back to the previous videos. I'm at the bottom most of the time, but I'm there.
Bump
Dedication
Great video!
Can I just say how nice it is how sassy Alfi has gotten lately :D perhaps trying to get sacked
Love the content as always! I like how over the years you've become (or at least decided to show you are) as cynical as me, keep it up!
Best introduction to hitc sevens video yet
What an introduction! Love it
Hey Alfie, could you explain all those old uefa competitions like the cup winners cup, fairs cup, intertoto cup. Just the history of the Uefa competitions in general
This video was brilliant work from start to finish. Well done, Alfie
What an interesting way you've chosen to announce your impending sacking 😂😂😂
12:29 You got me for a few seconds there 🤣
" infamously sweaty nonces" 😂😂😂😂😂
This video should take the Guinness world record for video with the most sarcastic comments.
Im early asf but I just wanted to say, ur a goat man these videos are entertaining asf just listening to them while doing other things lol, keep up the god work
I do enjoy your sense of humor Alfie
I love this video.
Get some content on ya own channel dude! I get ure probably contractually bound to not produce competing content, but u could make anything and we would watch it this stuff is great and ure a very entertaining guy 😁
Ok... Level One accomplished Alfie...
Now onto Level Two:
7 Clubs owned by Non-Middle-Eastern Royals!
Alfie you beauty
I am your biggest fan. Thank you for your content
the sarcasm is strong with this one, love it haha!
Brilliant intro 👏 👌 🙌
Hey Alfie, could you do a video on the worst 11 of all time to have Champions League winners medals?
Someone's gonna have to count all the uses of 'Bin' and 'Al' in this video
This is the best intro I've ever seen.
Best intro you've ever done 🤣
Alfredo knocked it out of the park with this humdinger of a video
Best opening 4 minutes on TH-cam right now
This was a wonderful opening
The intro had me wheezing
What an intro 😁, great crack
I’m so glad Alfie went this hard on the video. Funniest one yet
Alfie went off the rails with the jokes 🤣
Alfie you should run your own channel already! Stop letting the man take your money!
Day 270: Indonesia XI If All Eligible Players Had Declared For Them.
Keep dreaming bocah
Greatest intro of all time
Alfie is brilliant and I love his sense of humor, hope it doesn't get him kill. Another amazing video. Day 7 asking for a video about Democracia Corinthiana.
🤣That was a funny montage of earned medals, still chuckling...
Felt more political rant than football video but I'm here for it anyway.
Also, I hear you talk about how you don't get the full ad revenue from these videos so have you considered going solo like the Irish guy? He's off doing well for himself and HITC Sport has already died out.
Just looked up HITC Sports and looks like they've rebranded as HITC Football, probably to make themselves look like a different channel and draw interest again.
That sarcastic intro was great.
They earned the medals 😂 love it Alfie
#4 was really interesting
Was hoping to see the primary club of my home country Brunei here, DPMM FC, where the clubs name is literally that of the royal family member
Love the dry wit describing the ruler at #1 xD
Dear Alfie,
Canny video:)
Good to see the Toon take number 1 slot! The sleeping giant awakes:)
Regards,
Love the monarchy slander at the start. Best part of the video lol
How about ranking all the World Cup finals? What was the most exciting game?
Top tier intro
The Young Boys part of the video was hilarious 🤣🤣
It will become an exclusive competition between Man City and Newcastle in a few years for the Premier League title year in year out. The only chance other clubs will have is to be bought out by nation states, or getting a complete fluke season.
Salary cap would be great eh - then anyone can grow but not dominate due to finances only.
there's a *bit* of a ceiling in the premier league for that tho anyway there's, so much money in the league that anyone from the top 6 could spend £100m+ in a transfer window and challenge again
It already is an exclusive competition between city and pool. God forbid that ever change, eh?
@@fpldirectory6753 Within 5 years Newcastle will no doubt be at the point of spending 400 - 500 million per window. The Saudis bought it for one reason, and that is to directly compete with the owners of Man City, it's just a status thing. Newcastle will soon have commercial revenue coming from everywhere. The owners are way too powerful for anyone involved to stop them, they have way too much influence over governments never mind someone like the premier league or UEFA. Just watch, they will go 'slowly' for a season or two, then go all out at it and there will be absolutely nothing that can or will be done to stop it.
Not a problem
Money can’t buy class and heart
😭that long ass name at the start. Sarcasm on point as always👏🏾👏🏾
