The sooner the super league happens and a few select clubs fuck off taking the money and the plastics with them the better. The FA can run football properly and stop owners taking the piss. Once all the tv money goes to a league with no promotion or relegation we should see owners stop pissing money up the wall and ruining clubs. I cannot wait for the bloodsuckers to piss off.

Meanwhile the media cream themselves into a frenzy over those two vile corporate specimens 10 miles or so away from Bolton / Bury.
Have an Arsenal supporting mate out here who was moaning about the UEFA final ticket allocations and also on social media calling out grave concerns around the selection and allocation process. Told him it was the football equivalent of #firstworldproblems. He's probably right but it must be about 1756th in the priority list of things that need to be fixed with football.

Why are Man City getting slagged here?

Run your club properly. Cut your cloth accordingly. FFS. Rochdale down the road is a perfect example of how a lower League club should be run.

Strange - when we cut our cloth isn’t it then shite owners, lack of ambition, need to invest

so at the moment for league 1 next season we have

Bolton -12 points (but probably worse)
Bury will probably at best end up in Admin on -12 (or worse)

Seems like only 2 relegation spots left

Now comes out that Macclesfield haven't paid their players for some months now. Great interview with Sol Campbell about what had gone off and the support he has tried to put in place. Sad times that they have too much money in the Premier League and nothing down where we are (and lower)

To be fair to Man City they haven’t ever took a penny in rent from them and have only ever asked for them to keep the place in a useable state. That hasn’t happened.

Yet we wouldn’t mind it if some mad billionaire took us over.

Man City can’t be expected to pay for every lower league club

1. I think Man City, like Chelsea, have lost any semblance of soul. So I would mind if a mad billionaire took over, I find the concept of football club's being a vanity project abhorrent. I'd rather we became as successful as we could through doing things the right way (not necessarily the SISU way but producing our own talent and running the club on a sustainable basis)

2. I haven't said they can be, but Bury were using a training ground for which Man City have no use. It wouldn't have been too much to ask for City to continue to let them use it as a favour and in a show of solidarity to lower league clubs, they didn't.

To be fair, they were getting the training ground for free weren't they? They just didn't look after it.

No, it was a commercial arragement - Bury paid rent. Man City are going to leave it empty or sell it completely though I assume, they've got a massive complex. Sorry it just exposes the two tier game in this country,

When I was a student I had a job in Manchester and watched Man City a lot. They were in the second tier. It was a great atmosphere - full of passion and they were the team in Manchester for Mancunians - it’s ironic they’ve now become a clone of the club they used to hate

What is the right way? A club like us couldn’t do it “the right way”

I’d absolutely love lauding 5 premier league titles over everyone,

Whoever’s won the leagues since the 80s has spent the most money - United being the most obvious - even Blackburn and Leicester have spent serious money winning the league.

There isn’t a solidarity to lower league clubs. Like when people say “advertise our plight” nobody outside of Coventry really care about what’s going on unless it’s suits their agenda against their own club.

Look at Arsenal and Newcastle - they’re both having a so called Crisis - it’s because it’s personal to them, they do t care about us, Bury, Charlton etc.

Most fans are out for themselves - it’s very much dog eat dog in football
