But thats OK as long as the Chelsea and Man Utds of the world can continue to pay one of their players more in a year than the collective wage bill of all the clubs in L1 and L2 put together.
Crony capitalism at its 'finest.'
Symptoms of a deeper malaise. If '2 trillion' can just go 'missing' 18 years ago...or the tax payer can by hung out to dry care of 'austerity' for the 'banking crisis' of 2008...
Money always goes 'somewhere' - never 'missing' - and in our football example, (perhaps like the shadow examples above), it has gone to the top of the football pyramid.
Is Manchester City really 'Manchester City?' Half a billion squad. Seems like the table is tilted.
Forest getting to the 'promised' land. It won't be like it was when Clough did it. Hard work. Talent spotting. Managing. Walking on water. And that was before the dark times. It was hard enough to compete with the 'big clubs' then. Before the billionaires, sky and a 'perma-rich' top 6.
At least we'll have a new ground to enjoy should we make it in the next two years or so.
We should enjoy Martin and Roy while they last here. A bit our past, our heritage, our very soul. Passion not plastic journey men.
