The 'nited way on sly at the moment so hastily changed to some romantic slush on Great movies, in a vain bid for credibility on Blue Moon!
Just thinking of the swamp dwellers and the Grievers, if you had deep pockets, how would the red arse cheeks represent good value for money? They are probably still just about the biggest fan bases, but how could you grow?
Idly looking at the table, if you're a billionaire then Shirley these clubs could be worth a flutter:
Villa - know they've got Chinese owners so won't be as cheap, but do have a large fan base.
Wolves - won't be cheap for same reasons but decent fan base and excellent Portuguese football connections.
West Ham - strongly remind me of City for good and bad reasons, great history, excellent location and fans.
Dirty dirty Leeds - proper heathen country but a one team town, can play great football and wouldn't be too pricey. Have to knock down Elland Road first, whether a new stadium ready or not!
Everton - literally the basket case's basket case of how not to run a club. But a move to a fantastic new stadium on the horizon, huge potential, rivalry with 'dem, what's not to like?
I also think you could make a case for any of the bottom three too, as they wouldn't be silly money and can point to fan base and history.
Anyway, upshot is red shirts you're just paying for the name, for the others you could genuinely build a "project" and I'm all for other fans being able to experience the joy and elation that we've had.
