No players were attacked physically during our pitch invasion and nothing was damaged so why are the media giving it more press than the other more violent incidents?
I think we have reached a tipping point where our opaque funding model (Moshiri, Usmanov), our preposterous overspending only to go backwards, our uppity ambition (hiring the likes of Ancelotti and James), the hint of a threat to the established order (new stadium), and the sense that we are a viable albeit proxy target for untouchables like the Saudis at Newcastle have combined to make us the villains of choice.
We are the only heavily-backed truly big club that is actually punching beneath its financial weight. Basically, we are the weakest link of the current greed is good establishment. Of course, the irony of all this is that the likes of Burnley, pleading injured innocence, have been run into the ground by their own small-time rapacious capitalists.
The only way out of this for us is to fundamentally change the way the club has been run. It's our mismanagement at board level that has led to us becoming the target du jour.
