I know the threads gone off topic a bit but....

Does a club like LUFC really fold and go away? Didn't Coventry City collapse a while back and now they are competing for the prem?

I do appreciate that Bates stepped up in a really bad time but tend to agree with Hopey that he milked it as his own cash cow after a while. I have nothing against capitalism (it creates a lot more wealth and freedom for the average person than any government or monarchy ever has) but football clubs are different than some crony capitalist company such as Google or Ford. The passion for a club is a million times larger than anyone feels for a corporation.
