Had a run in with a really quite bitter young scouser on the train today. Usually spiel, oil money, not money you’ve earned, state funded, inflating the market, not been done before etc
Pointed out to him that although we weren’t quite the first team to spend a million on a player, we were the first to spend a million twice and for good fortune we then bought the guy who was the first £1m player. Threw cash around like no ones business, well and truly inflated the market, all funded by a bloke’s TV rental shop in Altrincham.
Only difference is this time we’re winning things and that’s what’s upsetting them.
