Who can they blame this time?
Manchester City's 'ascension' to become the top club in England was the final nail in the coffin for me. Absolutely zero interest in English football since then aside from the Leicester title winning season.
I stopped watching when the tag line of "greatest league in the world" was banded about first. Thats when it all started making me want to puke. The hype escalated, teams became play things for rich people and it spiraled out of control and the soul quickly dissapeared
I ken far yer coming from min (Abramovich buying the league with the 3rd / 4 th biggest team in London was just as bad).
But:
Listening to a couple of phone ins last night and there were proper old school Man City fans (aye, guys who've followed them for years - down in Divison 3 etc) calling in still just amazed and awestruck at what's happened to their team.
Genuine appreciation of how lucky they are and what it means to them as fans of a team who they've followed loyally with little or no success for years.
I myself dinna grudge folk like that - who've had to put up with all sorts of shyte for years from the Salford glory hunting crew & others - a minute of it to be honest.
The tourists & EPL fan boys can f'uck right off though....
Its hideous plastic shyte for glory hunters and tourists.
Bolton Wanderers set up emergency food bank to help staff after wages go unpaid

Leagues awash with money spunk it all on mercenary players and then can't even pay their own staff.
Here's hoping there's a domino effect down there.
