Profit and profit only unless you're like our owner who is a fan and has spent £200m on the ground and academy 1 status and spending another £50m on the hotel beside the ground so £250m and that's without the loses which is running at over £300m and heading for division 1.

Do I care? No, might be great at business but clueless when it comes to football and that's why we are where we are. If you can spunk that amount then you've more money than sense.

Foitball is a mugs game and that includes us lower surrporting fans and that's why I cancelled skysports years ago as I'm not lining these over paid donors.

If Carlsberg did reboots. I'd be all for a totally separate league structure that had ALL clubs working within a budget partially based on income and partly on a low wage cap.

Totally in fantasy land I know but have clubs in cities and towns going head to head with the greedy structure we have now but in a league structure where there was no profits and more importantly no debts.

Ticket prices lessened to purely cover costs and wage costs that are capped at say £10k a week at most and even that is too much.

f**k FIFA, UEFA and the Premier League. Set up a structure for the fans and the fun of the game.

You could probably set up a whole 4 league structure for the value of a Man City.

Yeah I know a totally unworkable concept.
