Yeah, but you can't compare us with the likes of all the other ex Premier League clubs who have ended up in the Championship and League 1 & 2 due to poor board management and ownership because it actually makes ENIC's/Levy running of our club look pretty good....
He's a loon
Removing the wage cap hurt them and many others and stopped them competing
The finances
Hopefully we haven't uncovered a mass fuck up
Duelling bagpipes does not sound the same
Thanks for the context, good to flag
I equate the enic in vs enic out movements to the brexit debates. People from both sides just hurling either direct abuse or passive aggressive or sarcastic insults at each other all day every day.
It's boring as fuck so why don't the whole fucking lot of you shut the fuck up and wind your necks in. And that is aimed at people on both sides of the argument.
Literally just reading the same fucking crap from the same fucking people every motherfucking day. Nobody that entrenched in their views is having their minds changed by being insulted. It's like telling an angry person to just 'calm down'. It won't work and will 9/10 times backfire.
Not meaning to be picking on you as an individual but this post is a prime example of what needs to stop.
You can all consider yourselves TOLD.
Meanwhile his family has been going hungry (to win something) and been working really hard for him (by paying some very expensive tickets) but..instead of feeding them properly, he throws scraps at them ..sometimes. Some of his family are getting fed up and demand there should be another head of household and that the wife should get a new sexy Qatari husband, but there are others who believe this man might be god and worship his every step and just so happy with the scraps he shits out for them.
You’ve taken that too far….

The four-part series tells the tale of Gunther VI, the world's richest dog with a net worth of £300million and heir to a mysterious fortune.
Gunther is from a long line of filthy rich German Shepherds.
However, the money is actually controlled by Italian entrepreneur and pharmaceutical heir Maurizio Mian, who used some of it to buy a football club and hire porn stars to the board.
The 66-year-old eccentric is CEO of media company The Gunther Corporation, and Gunther's guardian.
The company uses Gunther the dog as a figurehead for its investments.
In 2002 the Gunther Reform Trust bought Italian side Pisa, who were in the third-tier of Italian football at the time.
And dog Gunther IV was duly named honorary club president.
Despite being a pooch, fans of rival team Livorno once unfurled a banner targeted at Gunther that read "Poisoned meatballs for Gunther", according to Goal.
Three years later the company sold the club, but the crazy story does not end there.
Mian's Gunther Corporation then bought a controlling interest in another lower league Italian side, U.S. Citta di Pontedera.
It was there that famous porn star Ilona Staller was appointed club 'godmother', while fellow porn star Valentine Demy was named club president.
Italian journalist Massimo Marini commented, via Salon, that the choice to hire porn stars for the football club: "represents a common thread in Maurizio's life."
Marini added: "He's always wanted to impress and amaze, to draw attention, even knowing such things would create problems and lead to serious missteps."
So South Africa is a no no ?

"We are delighted that we have been able to secure priority ticket windows for third party events for Club members – an added benefit that has been hugely popular, particularly for high profile concerts such as Beyoncé and Red Hot Chili Peppers.
"All of these activities create diversified sources of funding to invest in our principal core activity, football.
