"There is only so much money they can squeeze out of the same people."

which is where the idea of the Premier League having a 39th game comes in (and to a much lesser extent, our tour of Malaysia)

i guess the thing that annoys me is those fans that do complain about us having no money but then also complain when the club try to raise money through other means

you could be sure that if we ever did make to a Man Ure type global appeal the same fans would complain bitterly about the overseas supporters and the fact that they cannot ever be real fans

times have moved on since the 80s unfortuantely our expectations as fans need to move on too
