The Bournemouth model. Overseas ownership, don't even own their own ground

Hardly any fans, League 1 club playing in the Premier League which cheated FFP. No.

The Watford model. Sack a manager every 20 minutes. No.

The Burnley model. Cheat, dive, s**thouse and play football to make your eyes bleed. No.

The Charlton model. Get taken over by a complete arsehole. Have your club's soul forcibly removed. Become a yo-yo Championship/League 1 club. No.

The Villa model. Cheat FFP, almost go bust, spend more than 100m and probably get relegated. No.

The Ipswich model. Secretive arms dealer destroys your club. Good work Marcus!

The Norwich model. Keep your club's soul entirely intact, have fun in the Championship, but it's impossible to achieve a damn thing beyond that.

And that, my friends, is modern football. :(
