I weirdly feel like it's the other way around. Roman bought the team and ran it for his enjoyment..winning trophies along the way. The deal with the devil was selling to career businessmen with no passion for what's taking place.
Bit shocked by this one honestly. Watching the game thought it was simple precaution taking because of the pitch and a meaningless match. He even stayed on for several minutes afterwards if I remember right. Damn
