Except for the rampant bitterness in the comments section. I especially liked the one who wanted to "bring back a level playing field...", which would certainly be ground-breaking as English professional football has never been a level playing field, money has usually talked in one form or another.
This one was my favourite retort when the " It's not fair" crap was being thrown our way. I told them that was my feelings exactly before the takeover, when we couldn't compete because the top four got a minimum, extra 25 million a year, due to the champions league money. This was in the days before huge tv revenue was in the premier league. This meant all the top players wanted to join them and they could pay them more. The argument then switched to " You should build the club, fetch through young players" blah. Impossible I told them. Why? Well because anytime on the rare occasion we did, as in SWP, a top four club would come in and buy them and we were back to square one. The rags class of 92 argument was blown out of the water as they were already an established successful top four club who didn't have to sell.
Now we have the money to not only compete but blow them all out of the water the wailing and "Its not fair, you've bought it, you cheated" have reached record levels. That fading they are now aiming the abuse at our owner and the country he resides in supposed human rights abuses.
As Vinny said last night, "You have always been a great club, you're just a great club now with silverware." Spot on Vinny we know what we were and are, haters keep on hating and crying!
