I would imagine it's too late now. That club lost its identity when Levy took over about 20 years ago. Football then took second place to business deals, advertising revenue and TV rights payments. I don't have a problem with that because I've never liked the club anyway, and Levy is first and foremost a business man.If they concentrated more on football rather than renting out the stadium and cheese room perhaps they might be more of a football club
But the issue for me is how the whole future of the game is being mapped out: the sport itself taking a back seat to whatever is going on in the boardrooms. It's happening at Spuds and it's been happening at the rags since the Glazers turned up. It's almost as if whatever takes place on that big patch of green grass in the middle of the stadium is an irrelevance, not significant. As long as he (whoever the manager is this week) can keep the team in and around the top 4 your shares are going to skyrocket.
The Americanisation of our national sport grows ever stronger each day.
