Maybe and maybe not.

Yep. But we can be sure we weren’t bullied’ into it. No one bullies a Sovereign Wealth Fund. And I think we can be pretty certain we were involved in the planning, just that we had reservations and when it came time to choose, we chose wrong. This sort of thing doesn’t go on without a leader of...

Got your meaning and take your point but we are comparing a wealthy businessman with a Sovereign Wealth Fund. Apples to Nukes in terms of investment. Success needs investment but I don’t think a club needs to sell its soul for it. I’m just pretty despondent and given the choice of being a...

Their transfer and wage bill was tiny compared to ours, yet they beat us fair and square. With knackered old donkey’s like Huth and Morgan in their back 4. And right now I’d swap places with them.

We weren’t coerced in any meaningful sense of the word. We chose to do it when we could have chosen not to.

With Big Money signings like Wes Morgan and Robert Huth?

This really feels like it’s gone too far to stop. There’s simply too much free money involved. We will be asked to support a team named Manchester City but we might be lucky to see half our ‘home’ games played in this country let alone Manchester. And the bottom line is that it doesn’t matter...

You can start by denying work permits to non-british players and withdrawing match day policing.

You’re not getting readmitted to The Empire with that sort of attitude. And I‘ll have you know, we Brits bath or shower every month, whether we need to or not.

Absolutely. And while we’re at it - neither Time nor Blocks are units of distance. Please use furlongs like civilised people.

And drive on the correct side of the road and pronounce the “h” in “herb”. :)

If those are the ones that don’t stop every thirty seconds for a break, then yes.

Very slow, long drawn out Rounders. Not as bad as Armoured Rugby though. ;)

And me - but I’m holding out for The Fairs Cup and Home Internationals also. :)

It takes 15 votes to throw a club out. Hence the 6 Premier teams.

I thought they were shoes.

When you cede the moral high ground to Dr Evil then you know the answer to the question, “are we the baddies?” is probably “yes”.

Fifteen Harlem Globetrotters and five Washington Generals

Assuming this thing goes ahead - what will ‘winning’ it actually mean? It won’t mean entry into a European competition. It‘s just going to be money and a fancy piece of tin as far as I can see and that doesn’t excite me at all. I also don’t care about playing other ’super-clubs’ all this...

They don’t care about us ‘legacy’ fans. They calculate there are hundreds of millions of potential subscribers out there and believe most of us will come around anyway.
