Is the new dream a potential nightmare?
Im confused. Those that know me will probably say “that’s not too difficult”, but this time, Im really confused. The team I love is in danger of becoming what I despise “a money orientated, dont give a toss about the fans, marketing machine akin to Chel$ki and Manure.
Now I am prepared to give the new guys a chance and see what happens, rather than lynch them before they’ve even got their feet under the desk (Ill leave that to the Ingham and Finney types of this world). But there has to be a concern that prawn sandwiches will soon be outselling thr Balti Pies and hotdogs, whilst multi-millionaire mercenaries strut their fancy dan stuff over a manicured pitch. Exactly the sort of thing I detest (see my money money money rant for more details).
So I am in a paradox. Do I continue to support the team I have loved for 30 plus years, or stick with my principles. I never expected us to become billionaires, particularly so close to being in administration, and I will continue to applaud GP for his efforts but have we become a “if you cant beat em join em club” chasing the premiership gravy train and once there doing everything possible to stop others joining us?
Time will tell, but if you ever see me eating a prawn sandwich at LR please slap me in the face and call me a sell out (but thats the ONLY circumstance you can do that for).
