Clearly doing things properly and within the rules does not put trophies in the cabinet.
Teams that have bent the rules or spent beyond their means in the past have had their "day in the sunshine" Coventry, Wigan, Portsmouth, Leeds. Yes they are in lower leagues but their supporters have the memory of their team lifting a trophy. We haven't had that.
So in years to come we can tell our grandkids we didn't win anything but we were run properly and Jeremy Peace did wonders for the club. Oh and we were average in the Premier League for 7 seasons.
Thanks for that but it still appears to favour the richer clubs and those who are prepared to 'bend the rules'.
