Debt growing , less revenue now coming in with football behind closed doors , paying daft wages and daft wages to players who arnt even playing for them like Sanchez etc . Surely it’s a matter of time before there in real Financial trouble ?

What can they come on here to brag about? If they were in the ascendancy in the league they would be. They know they are shit and their club is slowly crumbling and their two biggest rivals are leading the way in how to play football. Depressing times for the raggies.
 
Just been reading how, during the season 1914-15 (when incredibly the League carried on despite the war) United were near relegation from Div One. On Good Friday 1915 they played Liverpool. Before the game Utd and Liverpool agreed to fix the result so the rags would win 2-0. They did and Chelsea were relegated, not Utd. An investigation followed and eight players were banned. One, Knocker (Enoch) West, was banned for 30 years and the finally confessed the allegations were true.
How shameful was this? Yes, the rags do have "history". A betting scandal now would have epic repercussions. But then the war overshadowed all of this.
How many rag fans (and scousers) are aware of this stain on the two clubs?. It should be made more well known.

And don't forget it was investigated by the raggy solicitor who found nothing.
