Glory with a core support following them because of the club not a club buying trophies and then plastic fans suddenly rocking up to join the fun

I know plenty of Chelsea fans, and many of them admit (when being honest) they have sold their soul and they yearn for the old days.
Are you actually a Spurs fan, or are you yet another clueless foreign armchair fucking soccer fan?
Yeh but I would imagine most of them are older fans not the glory hunter kids, the same type who followed Woolwich during the Henry and Bergkamp days despite no connection.
Yep.My age or there abouts.
I'm 53
My problem is that their money isn't legitimate.
The game has changed. Millionaire owners are being replaced by billionaires. Ridiculous sums for players and wages astronomical, meanwhile fans still have to pay heavily to see a game.
The new money has changed clubs. We do not know who will be the next one to be bought and heavily invested in. But I don’t think their fans will be disappointed whoever they are. I think they will be of the mindset it’s their lucky day.
Meanwhile we can’t be sounding off through jealousy.
I think it is a lot easier to say that when you already have all the joy and experience of winning the trophies.
Maybe I am wrong and they didn't celebrate or enjoy the trophies, but it kind of seems like wanting to have your cake and eat it too.
No I don’t. But if a multi billionaire wants to invest a billion in players at Spurs, I am going to welcome him. Surely that I should then be a we.
Bollocks..... I don't want that shit in my club anymore than I want it poluting rest of the game.
Move on City-boy..... The jig is up.
How many still vote Labour after Tony Blair invaded Iraq?
Many dont go to games anywhere near like they use to, as they don't enjoy the experience anymore.
Of course they celebrate when they win something. I think all us fans regardless of teams are like that to a degree.
You've massively missed the point. As per your outlook; if you eradicated the foreign fan-base(*) of every club including ours; we'd be in great shape.
(*Not suggesting we do; as long as they're supportive and fully COYS... Then they're all part of the tribe.)
Not denying that one bit. But that doesn't mean buying the glory doesn't mean they're a big club. It means they did it the wrong way. Again, a huge difference.
One man may earn an honest living to become rich. Another may rob a bank. They're both still rich...
I wasn't trying to crap on them in particular, I think they sound like many fans would be.
I just think it is easier to say we want to go back to the days where we didn't win and weren't a big club after 20 years of winning and being a big club.
I also think it is easy we don't want those kind of owners when they is zero chance of getting those owners.
If your definition of a big club is limited to solely the size of the core support I 100% agree with you. We have better fans. Without a doubt.
I think my point is that id also add success on the pitch to defining a club as big, hence our difference of opinion on that element
Who’s to say which one is honest?
Bankers are crooks
But your first sentence we disagree
My opinion is that if you have to buy glory like Shitty have and then thousands of alleged fans suddenly crawl out of the woodwork then you’re not a big club
Do you go on Blue Moon much?
One is spending blood money; we are spending self generated revenue.
This shit is laughable....... We have half a fanbase that hate our ownership because they don't spend their own cash; yet THIS is your argument?
