The fallen

[barneygumble]

I've said it before, but i see so much of them in us. I wonder if we can ever fully avoid that situation. We sat in relative success with Moyes before he left, and so did UTD, (Relative being the word here) and they rotted away behind the scenes as we did.

Their owners have a lot to do with it.

Success is important, but its relevant. Their deals they gave require CL money, I think their deal with Adidas means they receive £10m less for not being in CL, and £5m for no Europe at all.

They dont need success, but they just need to do the bare minimum to he successful and it's bred such a bad, toxic environment.

They're everton under Moshiri, on Steroids. When a clubs philosophy is practically profit first, success second, there's something fundamentally wrong.

Forest look primed to pop to me. Their owner was on that pitch remonstrating with the manager because he bet the house on getting into the CL and it's all going up in smoke.

I like having Forest back in the league, but their owner does seem to be an absolute helmet.

Oh, I do too. As good as upward mobility which allows small clubs like Brighton and Bournemouth to prosper is, I always think the game suffers when big clubs punch way below their weight (see Sheffield Wednesday). So, Forest back is very welcome. I am also pleased to see Sunlun back too, even if most of their supporters are Brexit self-harmers.

Aye. You may dislike Leeds, but they're clearly a major club.

I don't dislike Leeds. To be honest, if our club had been run properly over the years, we'd have little reason to dislike anyone as few clubs would be genuine threats to us. I'm hoping we are about to enter, if not a golden period, a silver one with these new owners.

Well, the new majority owner in Leeds is:

Will Ferrell becomes latest Hollywood star to invest in English football club

The American actor has bought a stake in the owners of Leeds United, 49ers Enterprises.

So hopefully their return to the PL next season will be as hilarious as one of his slapstick films.

Jeezus... in that case get them into the Isthmian league

Would love for Ferrell to show up at the opening match on the first day of next season and be like:

peter risdale got there first.

So... To put it bluntly:

Surley they wouldn't turn on Will, though?

Surley?!

I do hope Leeds come out to the accompaniment of the jazz flute.
