Valid, reasoned and educated arguments there lads, glad that my taxes are going towards a good education for you all.
Seriously the West Ham bit was a light heated gesture so you knew who I supported.
My point is that Money isnt everything. Abramovic can still compete, Utd always will as will Liverpool and Arsenal.
We will always produce good youth players and that is fundemental in the development of football. No new players, no football in the future.
Obviously you can now afford to buy who you want but now everyone knows that money bags is in charge they will be asking for vastly inflated sums.
Just a bit fed up with the gloating from you lot but dont lose touch with reality. It was an affable club because it lived in the shadows of its bigger more arrogant rival. But what now eh? Inflated ticket prices, bigger stands how exactly will you feel that - with plastics - prawn sandwich munchers.
Football is dead. Its supposed to be a working mans game but how long before you cant afford to go or are involved in a European super league when the team is playing all over the world.
The days ofShaun Goater will be missed of that I am sure.
R.I.P.
If you look at various other posts, a large majority of people on here are concerned for our youth team, and are hoping Hughes gets the power to buy well, rather than lavishing cash on the likes of Ronald (£135m FFS!!). We're happy we're minted, but we still want to maintain our identity.
Thanks for the lecture though. I'm sure if you're club gets taken over by billionaires you'll be far more reserved than us lot....
