I was thinking about this and I wouldnt really want to be Man City... no really! We have a series of decent yet unspectacular grafters now with a hardcore of boyhood Leeds fans, a win is great, defeat hurts them as much as us (maybe). But if we signed barca cast off Yaya Toure on £200k a week even if we could afford it I would be really p1ssed off. You know he isnt going to be a success already
Man city can never really win, if they dont win the league it will be disaster, if they do no one will give them any credit and deep down they know they are a rich man's play thing. At least Chelsea have a spine of either home grown or long serving young English players with which to identify but man City are just false -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Damian Walsh Sent: 13 July 2010 13:19 To: list leedslist Subject: Re: [LU] Any Truth to this ?? With the exceptions of Ridsdale's honeymoon and some retrospective respect for Silver (indetectable at the time), we have always hated/ feared/ despised/ loathed LUs owners. Why would some other billionaire be different? Why would the club be any better? And if it was who would want to be Chelsea anyway? I must admit I chuckled at the idea of Billy O'Naire - and I wondered if perhaps he was a cousin of Michael Knighton ;) Unfortunately, as we put up with the "football as a business" concept we have to put up with exactly the "owners" that we've always had. We could have an awful lot worse than Bates, and there's no guarantee we'd ever get better, however much money he had.
