Johnnyrotten Posted February 15, 2020 Share Posted February 15, 2020 On the to-hate-or-not-to-hate debate, my take is I 'hate' Blackburn, Burnley and Wigan to the extent that a win against them is worth more than a win against someone else. Winning away there stays in the memory for a long time, so I would sacrifice for arguments sake a point against someone else to get a win against them. It matters to the morale of the club. For teams we arent playing, the Uniteds and Citys, the only reason I want them to fail is they are indirect competitors for fans. Its true to say they dont care about us, but that's not the point. Every time United or City win a trophy the 6 year old lad in your street is more likely to "support" them (without EVER watching them live) than he is to agree to go to a Bolton game any time soon and potentially get hooked. It feels better for us that United arent an automatic pull for young fans, I've got 2 one year old grand children and I dont want them to see United and City winning trophies then having to go to school to be surrounded by their fans. Keep them down, and help spread the fans around, to support clubs they might even pay to watch occasionally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You forget Brexit, perhaps, can a UK company invoke European law? I agree that in real life the UEFA rules are probably illegal but City will have signed up to those rules to enable them to play in UEFA competitions. It is ironic that an ownership who want to pump millions into a club end up exceeding limits and being punished, whilst some owners without 2 halfpennies to rub together can leave assorted creditors out if pocket to the tune of millions and take a club out of business or damn close to it.

Hope City can overturn ban. FFP is a massive con and before anyone says well they knew the rules look at Real Madrid and how they have bent rules in past. Now the likes of Real hide behind FFP out of pure selfishness and greed. Irony being Citehs owners are best and most responsible of owners. Look at that area of Manchester now.

I assume you mean highest revenue in terms of premier league and not Europe Wenger was instrumental in the move to the Emirates as he could see how much they were restricted by the capacity at highbury. Having a degree in economics probably helped By all accounts they are well run as kronke is a tight bastard which the fans don't like but pay the highest season tickets Fuck knows what Ozil is on but they shifted a lot of it onto Man Utd with Sanchez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying second is fine but without a quantifiable amount it means nothing Man Utd could have spent £100m let's say, arsenal £30m in second place It's still second but not really comparative Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
