True story.
My best mate, a united fan but a really good lad, texted me unannounced tonight to tell me he’s “giving up on football. The games gone mad with all the money in it these days”
This isn’t a daft teenager. This is a lad that’s been a utd fan all his life. 70’s And 80’s. Went all over with them until recent years when like all of us family got in the way etc.
“Giving up on football” all of a sudden.
He didn’t mind when they were spending £30m on Ferdinand when other teams in the top six were still spending £1m or £2m on signings.
I couldn’t believe it. Soft ****
