Do we boycott every company that put money into the Premiership?

It wouldn't leave very many places left to spend our money.

If we all (I mean all football fans) cancelled our Sky Sports contracts they wouldn't be able to honour their TV contacts.

This would mean ITV Digital all over again and would damage our club as well.

        But, as I point out, it's not the loan system itself that's the problem (NCFC) - BerlinCanary, Sep 2, 10:16:27
        
        The problem is not the loan system (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 10:15:39
        
        Why did you post it if it isn't "about that"? (NCFC) - Arizona Bay, Sep 2, 10:09:44

        But it's a nonsensical argument. (NCFC) - Johnny Comecardiff, Sep 2, 10:19:02
        
        why? (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 10:20:56
        
        I'm not sure. They sign these players because they can afford to, (NCFC) - megson, Sep 2, 10:27:22

        What can clubs below the Prem do to change things? (NCFC) - mr carra, Sep 2, 10:51:48
        
        Exactly (NCFC) - Tricky Hawes, Sep 2, 10:53:12

        Not at all but... (NCFC) - Ben, Sep 2, 11:21:08
