I was talking to a mate of mine that supports Sunderland today, and we were both in agreement that I don't understand how anyone could support a City or a United, or any team that just constantly wins. It just seems boring to me. It is the climb that is better IMO. And although I would LOVE us to win the league one day I can't help but feeling my passion would drop slightly afterwards, like Leicester for example I can't see that any of their fans give two shits what happens with them now.

Our snout is in the trough with the rest already. We already spend huge money and are funded by a billionaire.
Just so happens there are maybe half a dozen teams that spend more than we do. But dozens who spend less.
Having a new Mansour like owner would just mean we up our spending a bit over what we already do. Hardly reason to end a lifetime of support.

I think comparing Sheikhs and Maxwell is like saying Rita Ora and Susan Boyle are the same 'cos they both have hair!
Yes, he is. He doesn't pump that money into the club though does he?
It's not "Oh here's £300M for sponsorship", "No worries have a £200M loan, no need to pay it back" like Roman and the arab fella.
Steady on....let's not say things we don't mean in the heat of the moment

We do have a very rich owner but we are trying to build something deeper and more sustainable than just throwing plastic cash at an attempt for instant success.
Our investment started with the Training Centre and whole development set-up. We’ve moved on to the stadium which will bring far greater commercial revenues. It’s a model that protects the owner’s investment but should also benefit us longer term.
Poch is now absolutely key to this project though. If he leaves then it could all fall apart. His impact on the whole club and his philosophy are now wholly entwined with everything the club is doing from a directional perspective.

Valid point but completely different owners. We are owned by a bussinessman who sees us purely as an investment, City are owned by a prince worth tens of billions from a family network worth apparently a trillion if the internet is to be believed.
City are essentially a play toy to be built up for prestige, we are not.
So if we are talking about Morals and Principles, in your opinion were we Morally Correct in willingly accepting 50million oil soaked bank notes last summer....
And if United offer 50million for Rose, but, City turn round and offer 80million, who's money is Levy gonna take?
Money is Money. Using it to beef upyour financial investment is no more morally principled than using it to beef up your football team
Finally. Simple, but straight to the point.
I would allow the super league in Europe so Chelsea, Utd and City can all fuck off with their Billions and play each other in China and anywhere else that will pay the TV money and let their true fans suffer in silence. Isn't this what they want?
I agree and nothing wrong with that really but as we have seen it does not mean we cannot compete.
This season we have looked tepid and for me our biggest issues are in our attacking potency.

But run by a life long spurs fan who has performed miracles with club and won awards for how he has run the club
He"s not even interested in football mate. Yachts and stock markets are more his thing
That is what 99% of professional football is and what 100% of what it allways has been before Chelsea, City and PSG. Yet you disapprove.
I’m one of what a thought was a small bunch of fans that were majorly pissed off at Sugar hard balling Abramovich out of buying Spurs. I’m perfectly happy to get a Shekh in, it’s all dirty money to me anyway. But to be involved with this anti-Levy campaign is just pure madness. The guy is a spurs fan and has worked miracles with what he has had
Investment - to get a return you need to be successful. Owning Trillions of $ you can enjoy yourself and just spend.
What do you want?
Levy? Bollocks isn’t he, he’s a proper fan but just far better at running a club than me or you. Lewis, yes sure. Doubt he ever watches us.
I think it is the players we have bought at times as much as the money we have spent.
I don't want no oil guzzling anybody. Would make me a hypocrite.
Ill ask you. Simple question. Did you disapprove of our club willingly accepting 50million oil soaked bank notes off Sheikh Mansour last summer? Should we have told him to fuck off and take his grubby businesses elsewhere?
