robbiex	Going off the original thread a little here, but I agree. In the 70's and 80's supporting a football team was about been passionate about your local town team. Most of the Liverpool League Championship winning team of the 70's were scousers or from nearby in the North of England. Players were nurtured from local schools, or bought cheaply from lower leagues (e.g. Kevin Keegan and Ray Clemence from Scunthorpe). Nowadays Manchester Utd or Chelsea has very little to do with Manchester or West London, apart from been locations where the home games are played. Money has spoilt it all.

The football industry is disgusting and morally corrupt. Once upon a time it was a working class game but now it's all glitzy and making more money than the music industry. It is disgusting that idiotic football fans gleefully hand over shitloads of cash each year for the ever changing strips and ever increasing ticket prices. The fans ARE idiots allowing themselves to be perennially ripped off and funding a shameful money game. If all the fans were really that passionate, they would had all turned on the clubs years ago. And these overpaid cretins, who kick a bag of wind about get paid more in a week than most of their loyal fans will ever earn in ten years. And they are worshipped for it! Football ceased to be a game about 20 years ago when sponsorship deals began taking over... not to mention the evil influence of Murdoch. I watch archive games from the 60's and 70's... it was full of passion... they played out of pride. Now, they just play for the highest bidders. As for the manager situations... it never ceases to amaze me how they are forever being sacked after just a few months. Pathetic... they are never given a fair chance to develop, but then the golden pay-offs they receive leave a rather nasty taste in the mouth.
BR	and dont forget JACQUI SMITH stealing from the taxpayer ( legally ) to fund a second home in Redditch ( Cough ) where she gets Fluoridated water. Wages are crazy - the jobs such as farming - nurses - teachers and cleaners and agricultural workers continue to go down in real terms - but Chief Executives move onto millions.......... Gordon Brown allowed this situation to happen - in fact after THATCHER LEFT IN 1991 that is when it started happening ( Premier League - Sky etc ) The NOSE IN THE TROUGH society has been brewing since 1991. Now we reap the reward of paying people who create no wealth.
Al	There are many footballers on over £100,000 per week salary for very little work. Nobody seems to complain about them. They are funded by the fans just as Bankers are funded by their customers. Football managers are given several million pounds payouts when they get the sack. I think it must be the season for Banker Bashing.
robbiex	I know he is not legally bound to pay back the money, however out of principle he should pay back some of the money. Anyhow who needs £16m, when you could live a luxurious life for the rest of your life on 1m. Also he won't be able to live safely with all that money, he will be a target for yobs and thugs. Maybe Steve Maclaren and Sven Goran Erikson should be made to pay back some of their pay-off money.
