This is the reality of modern football, Chelsea and Man City bought success and dominance, they have managed to buy into a closed shop, financial superpower,and global market monopolisation, having opened a path, a blueprint on how to win silverware, the football bodies, in order to protect their buddies, Liverpool, arsenal, man utd, Barcelona, Real Madrid etc etc they changed the rules to prevent fair competition.
We are not a financial bigwig and will never compete on a level playing field, the dingles got away with it but will come unstuck if they continue trying to do it. Our future is kids, untried foreign unknowns, people that do not demand massive transfer fees or wages, we have to try and mould a bunch of rag tags into a performing unit .... three years ago when we were a mid table premier team we should have been bolder, sacked TP, brought in a more aggressive style of play and spent the money when we could earn it, cemented an also ran place but now we are back as a yo yo club if we're lucky, we have to 'reestablish a foot hold and start at the bottom again.
Dowling is talking sense .... 39 million loss over three years is unrealistic and the status quo is firmly protected, we have to cut our cloth ... this kind of protectionism has not been seen since al capone.
