Claret Blue and Green
I just want to see us win the FA Cup, thereby completing the set in my lifetime then there's every chance I'll call it a day. We're fighting a losing battle with these crooked bastards.
We must be the most miserable set of trophy-winning, Champions League-qualified fans in Europe.
Because, so we were told, the rules were put in place to stop clubs spending beyond their means. Man United being billions in debt shows that:1. The rules do not prevent clubs spending beyond their means.2. The rules were never actually intended to stop clubs spending beyond their means. They were intended to maintain the status quo.The rules were introduced when UEFA were run by Michel Platini. The most corrupt UEFA chairman who spent most of his career at the world's most corrupt club.Why there are still people who believe there was ever any underlying fairness motivating the introduction of these rules is beyond me.

The small premier league every -presents like Fulham and Brighton like it as it stops an incumbent taking their place and the big 6 like it as it stops ambitious teams knocking them off their perches.If anyone thinks that the rules are there for sustainability of clubs economically then I have a bridge to sell them.
