Spending as much time as I have around you fine folk over the past decade not only has the pride of our left leaning values been quite clear, but those values have also rubbed off on me. I couldn't help when, reading about the Richarlison rumour yesterday, feel a pang of disgust that the club is spending so much money on a player with so little obvious pedigree. I couldn't help but think how obscene it was and how that money could be put to better [social] use.
It got me wondering whether there was a point where football became too excessive. We've seen Fiat workers on strike in protest against the money spent on Ronaldo, and I pondered whether a city such as Liverpool might be among the first to recoil at such flagrant capitalism gone mad?
