Modern football has been utterly cheapened by the sugar daddys. No, the citeh fans probably don't give a shit (I wouldn't) but at least our success was bred by success [and history]. Any @#%&! can waltz in with a billion and build a football club, but where's the pride in that? Football might not be dead but it's circling the drain. Long live away days on the piss because the soul has been completely ripped out otherwise :leavebritneyalonegif: |

Liverpool had one of the richest owners in the league during their glory era, we didn't win a league until after becoming a PLC, does that somehow lessen the achievement? The point is you can't just waltz in and win by outspending teams, of course it helps but there are countless examples of teams who outspent the competition and have nothing to show for it. |

Are you aware Manchester United spent billions with our own dodgy owners a long the way....?
It doesn’t matter... Winning trophies is delicious, it doesn’t cheapen it because your rivals moan about owners and human rights violations, if anything it betters it...thought piss boiling was all the rage ? |

So there's absolutely no difference between, say, United winning the treble with a squad built around players brought up through the system and City winning the league by dropping a billion on their squad that they wouldn't have had if a sheikh hadn't seen them as a good opportunity to raise his PR profile......? Fair enough. I disagree. Quote:

It may make a difference morally in your head, but to the general, everyday fan on the ground it doesn’t matter a single bit... How did the LUHG movement and FC Uunited get on as we strolled to two European finals ? I’d wager you wouldn’t hear a peep on here about owners, money and transfers if we were winning... Be honest, being right on 24/7 is tiresome... |

There may not be a big difference if you're winning trophies but the bitterness and jealousy is far more when you are not. For example for all the billions pumped in the last decade at Manchester City, Leicester City coming from League 1 to being Champions without financial doping is far more iconic and remembered greatly in history. And that hurt Man City fans watching it happen make no question about it - because it was the complete antithesis of what they have done, while also being what they wished to do for years and decades beforehand.

Everything seems shittier when you're not enjoying watching your own team. You fall out of love with watching your team play and then you fall out of love with the wider game of football.
Let's face it, aside from maybe 20 games or so, watching United over the last 5 years has soured our view of football because they've been so utterly wretched for the most part. We've had the enthusiasm and zest for watching football slowly kicked out of us after having to endure some of the most embarrassing and humiliating results the club has seen in decades. Everybody is laughing their arses off at us as we lurch from one crisis to the next and naturally we're all raging, looking for people to blame for this. If we were happy and enjoying watching United then none of this would be an issue really. |
