One is concomitant of the other. It was precisely because of the commercial landscape that united, Liverpool, Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal forged that Mansour and Abramovich wanted a piece of the pie. Those clubs, with their naked greed, created the landscape that sees City and Chelsea sat at the very top table.City Raider said:Channon fails to grasp that it was not City – or even Chelsea – who laid down the ground rules for the Premier League, which was born from greed and designed to make rich, successful clubs even richer and even more successful.
It was United, Liverpool, Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal who drove the formation of the league, appealing to the greed of their fellow clubs to push it through.
And when Roman Abramovich and Sheikh Mansour came along to disrupt their little party, the whining noises they have been making ever since have been enough to make your ears split.
They only have themselves to blame for having to cast an upwards glance in our direction.
Fuck them.
I love you mate.
But that is so much a load of bollocks.
But I still love you > HIC ???
