Spot on. Fuck all those clubs. They started this shit back in the 80s when they carved up the first set of live TV rights where virtually every week we had one of the so-called “Big Five” being broadcast live, or worse still, two of the Big Five playing each other. Not to mention those same clubs carving up the way that gate receipts were distributed.

Of course, as time went on one of those five clubs - Everton - fell down the pecking order to the extent that they’re no longer classed as one of the present day Big Six, but the other 4 of the 1980s Big Five line-up are all still there acting like cunts.

These clubs can moan as much as they want about the people who run our club having better access to bigger global companies and potentially better sponsorship deals than them but I couldn’t give 2 shits. They still have their own business contacts to negotiate mates rates deals, as evidenced by United and Chevrolet (which ended with the Chevrolet guy who brokered it getting sacked - nothing to see here, honest), and Liverpool’s scrawny-necked Boston-based **** of an owner signing a kit deal with a Boston-based supplier. What was the losing bid Mr Henry?

If I remember correctly, warrior (Boston), liverpools (Boston) kit manufacturer around 2014. They are an off shoot from new balance (Boston)and only make kits for a small baseball team I think. They managed to match uniteds Nike deal at the time. Obviously all above board and done the organic right way.
 
Stefan on talksport in an hour at 10:30. Might be worth a listen & could shed some light on the situation.

Although going off his tweets yesterday maybe not as he was playing a city win in court, down.

The thing I remember about those days is we always had hope. In spite of what the Johnny come lately online cretins say we were always a big club, with a proud history and a large loyal fanbase. No.matter how low we sunk deep in our hearts we knew we'd bounce back.

My two lowest points were the Pearce era and when I realised that without a big money takeover we were just going to remain a mid table run of the mill club,that might, if we were extremely lucky, win the odd league cup. The top six were as good as the same every year and the European money ensured they stayed there. Nobody and I mean nobody, was crying it wasn't fair back then and we needed new rules to make it fairer. They didn't give a fuck until we became a threat.

In the early years of the Swales era, we were without doubt one of the biggest and rapidly becoming the biggest club in the country.

I remember the summer in the mid 70's when we signed Mick Channon for then a record fee of 300k, at the time he one one of the stars of the game and it was a huge signing.

This no history, small club narrative was and is absolute crap.
