It's interesting about the wages, that whilst there may be some conjecture over the actual amounts, the order of highest salaries appears to be untied, Chelsea, City, liverpoo.
Us and the scousers are at a similar wage level, though our trophy count recently is greater. Chelsea are European champions, FA Cup finalists maybe
£20-50m ahead of our wages.
Stretford based megaclub last won PL in 2013, FA Cup in 2016 and the Europa League in 2017, when they also won the League Cup. Since then, zilch. Slabhead's brother is a footballer too, so it be nice if they got the pair.
But breathtaking amounts they've spent on the slab, ratty, Fred, wan bissaka, lindolhof, Bailly, Shaw, matic, Mata, alpaca, to say nothing of their elderly front line. Any time I try to rationalize why they're so shit, all I can think of is Swales with his penny pinching and crazy player giveaways/awful replacement's, wacky management appointments, the culture of sicophants....
The more I think of it, I reckon someone on BM put a Voodoo curse on the fuckers!
They tried promising managers, winning managers, experienced managers, all turned out great! No structure, no oversight, no acknowledgement of their ever increasing problems. All allied to the most fickle of plastic gob shites.
We've spent a lot, earned through 10 years of continuous CL qualification, prize money from our success but at least we've got something to show for it.
The redshirt trio of twats have been the most vociferous of our many opponents. I hope all 3 of them have long drawn out Swales episodes, whilst we march on.
