Thank God! A statement of the blindingly obvious, and yet it needs stating. WE are now part of that exclusive club, and yet only Leicester voted against (why, I dont really care). Greed, naked, bare-faced greed, on the part of clubs that have collectively devoted over £1.2bn of the monies they get from all sources, including fans, in acquiring new players (and lest anyone forget, we have contributed around 10% of that figure, not bad for a newcomer). How do the "powers that be", who proclaim their appreciation of the supporters, their understanding of the "deep rooted and long lived" support, sleep at night (soundly, I suspect, in their feather-bedded, splendoured isolation)? Hypocrites, every last one, including our owner and his cohorts.
