"Citah have bought the title..." And your team wouldn't?
Discussion
Right, first up. In no way am I a Citah fan. I don't support any team in the Premiership but I'm baffled by this statement which seems to be flying around many forums this evening.
Can any fan of any team seriously suggest for a minute that if another gentleman from the Middle East rocked up at their ground and said "Here's half a billion quid, go and buy who you want & get a superstar manager. And while your about it here's another half a billion for a new stadium,"
I'm willing to bet that a great many people on these various forums who have been saying that "Citah have bought the Premiership, EPL coming, the end of football in the UK as we know it," would be eating their words very quickly.
"Well we deserve it, many years of struggle, we've always been a massive club, now we can take on the big boys, we're the only true club in Manchester/London/Birmingham/Devon/Wales/The South Coast anyway"
If some cash rich saviour wandered down to Exeter (my club due it being the place of my birth) we'd snap his arm off. Can any fan honestly say that they would want their club to say?
"No thanks, its okay. We'll just crack on with our crappy ground and our cast offs from the Championship. And anyway we've got a couple of promising young footballers coming up through our ranks if we can keep them away from the gangstas. So we'll take the high ground."
Do me a favour.
