What exactly are you referring to when you talk of the financial rules they play by and how they affect the health of the league?

And as for a sense of entitlement and glory hunting fan base .... huh? Yup, Tommy Doc, Sexton and big Ron are to blame for that.
As for Geordie Best et al. Take any supporter of any club under 40-50 and the majority will know little of that era. It's a United exclusive thing?
And as for caring about past managers/players. Ask most Liverpool supporters how they feel about the way Shankley was treated.
Also there are 6 Scottish w*nkers from the same city running clubs in the PL? Why? Because with the exception of old big ead there hasn't been an English manager worth a crap in the last 25 years. Embarassing.
