Someone should point out the following small points, there are many others that can be listed and added to:
Their average attendance has been smaller than Manchester City for more than 10+ years, even with their recent increased capacity.
They have spent more in a calendar year than any other team in the premier league ever.
They have the worlds most expensive defender and 2nd most expensive goalkeeper.
They have spent a billion plus and still no league title in nearly 30 years.
They love to mention their worldwide following and yet the combined social media presence of both clubs sees them less than two million ahead of City.

Their owner is heavily linked to their kit provider both based in Boston.
They are sponsored by Standard Charter, who have been fined 100’s of millions for being one of the worlds leading money launderers of state sponsored terrorism monies.
They were effectively bankrupt before being bailed out by RBS, a 84% government owned bank, a highly contentious decision at the time. State sponsored financial doping one might suggest. (Truly earning their own money).
They were begging to be bailed out by Middle Eastern owners around the time of the above, of course this would of been accepted with open arms by all including the press.
Before recent istree, they were financially doped through their glory years by the Moore’s family.
Their fans appalling behaviour led to all English clubs being banned from European football.
There are many more if anyone wishes to add to the above, it also shouldn’t be forgotten their fanbase as a whole is one huge bunch of self entitled fuckwits.
