from the bitter red dipper in the mirror...brian read...
"So Chester City, who were founded 1884 and nurtured one of European football's all-time greats, Ian Rush, are no more. Wound up, in 30 seconds, for not being able to pay a £26,000 tax bill.
Meanwhile near-neighbours Manchester City had the previous weekend off, and three of their players flew to Miami to rent £10,000-a-night suites. The amount spent in one night on a hotel bed by three players being more than enough to keep Chester alive.
Which begs a question: What's the difference between Chester City and Manchester City? A Man. Or rather a billionaire.
And the more billionaires our game welcomes, the more Robinhos will be bought and less Ian Rushes nurtured. And the more Chesters will go to the wall
Welcome to the future
