All this FFP and PSR stuff is getting boring. Strip away the mythical “cartel” nonsense and it’s simple, City and Newcastle fans want mega rich owners to spend what they like, hence Newcastle fans suddenly becoming City’s unofficial legal team.
United, Liverpool, and Arsenal weren’t handed their position by the Premier League. They spent generations winning trophies, building support, and growing revenues, just as Real Madrid and Barcelona did in Spain.
Do the rules need changing and ambitious clubs have room to grow? Absolutely yes, but rules also exist to stop clubs buying an advantage through inflated or disguised revenues.(City)
And cut the morality act.
Newcastle and Villa fans aren’t leading some great socialist revolution to save football, they want wealthy owners to spend their way to the top. They weren’t hamstrung by PSR for the previous 70 years or more, they were mostly just shite.
Argue for different rules by all means, but stop rewriting 70 years of history and dressing a billionaire’s chequebook up as Robin Hood fighting the cartel.

I promise you, if Man United got that Qatar owner in 23' and they started cooking the books to this scale to win 6 out of 7 PLs, win the CL, multiple domestic trophies...
No rival fan would be saying 'it's just an owner trying to get his money in'.
Give me a fucking break.

Yesterday, I showed that big Steve was showing himself still in the denial stage and many city fans seem to be still in the stage of denial in the 7 stages of grief they are feeling about the demise of their club...
But the news is starting to make the iebby drop.
They are now moving to Anger & Bargaining.
Follow me as I document this journey. Because when acceptance hits, you won't want to miss it for the world. 🤣

The Muppets have released a statement on the tragic passing of Tim Curry.
“Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer, he was unparalleled – witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny.
We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.”

The red card stands, but he’s free to play — as @MelissaMOrtiz reported.

Someone from NI should start reviewing takeaways. Definitely a gap in the market there.

Paul Scholes shares AI videos to his mates thinking they’re real and believes everything he reads on Facebook
🚨🗣️ Scholes: "Apparently Louis van Gaal brought a player through his grandson. He told him about Marcos Rojo from Argentina [through playing on Fifa].”
