Would Our Club Be In Nearly As Much Debt


Recommended Posts

No apologies from me for lifting this straight from another poser on the RTC site.

 

To me the constant flushing of other people's money down the toilet on expensive foreign football players just to so the fret people can win everything domestically by dozens of points each year is totally immoral and unjustified.

 

And then when blowing the banks money, the fans money, the shareholders money, Dave Kings money and ENIC's money wasn't quite enough they screwed us all by taking the tax man's money and spending that on more players = more trophies.

 

The fanny didn't even have the good grace to put any of his own cash in. Looking back on it now, how did we ever miss this as it happened? To what lengths did they go to keep the national press from asking questions.

 

If you think I'm being OTT here just imagine the uproar if AFC had spent money we didn't have like this for 15 years and the media's precious OF teams hadn't been able to win every league titles. They have been out to get us in every way possible. We'd be accused of cheating and the administrative bodies would be harassed and threatened until they changed the rules to precent us from doing so.

 

Last question for you all - would Afc have been in anything like as much debt as we are if we hadn't stupidly been trying to keep even close to this.
