I said in a previous column how the city and the club are an organic process. Neither would have the reputation it does without the other.
Words really do fail me sometimes...![]()
So a city that was the main import/export hub and second only to London in an empire that spanned a third of the world and isn't far off 1000 years old has its reputation based off the exploits off a fan base which has only been around for 40 years? Same fanbase that spent a large part of its time when abroad pillaging small businesses around Europe damaging the very reputation they claim to have organically grown. The same fan base that was responsible for 39 deaths at heysel, the murder of a bulgarian waiter, scenes of indecent exposure in Madrid, fifa officials being robbed in Athens etc etc
And they say we are deluded
