Not always been his biggest fan, but fair play to Sam Allardyce for voicing some support for us this week. Makes a change to hear someone not just trotting out the type of uninformed shite that we've endured from the likes of Simon Jordan and Gabby Agbonlahor in the last few days:
Speaking to William Hill and Footy Accumulators’ No Tippy Tappy Football, a series in which Sam Allardyce and host Natalie Pike are joined by a special guest each week to discuss the big stories surrounding the 2022/23 Premier League and beyond, Allardyce said: “Of course there is jealousy – all the other clubs will be rubbing their hands together wanting Man City to be found guilty, as we’ve seen in the press.
“Football has always been unfair. The fact that if you have more fans, you have more money to spend, that’s what it was like when I played. The ones that had the most fans had the most money, and that’s how they grew. Football is a business now; as long as it’s the right money coming in, why not welcome it?
“It seems like the owners and the chief executives want City kicked out of the league which is not the right thing to do. I hope they aren’t found guilty and prove the other side and come out on top.”
