They tried to live a champagne lifestyle on lemonade money. Fifteen players on over 50k a week??? they're having a laugh.
Despite what their fans and some of their ex players try to imply, they are not a big club. Sure, they have a decent stadium, but what have they won in the last 40 years?...jack sh*t. Even 'Boro have one a cup in the past few years, and they got to a UEFA Cup final too, yet no one seems to be showing them any sympathy.
At the end of the day, they haven't a clue how to run a club up there. By paying average players extortionate amounts of money every week, them players are clearly only there for the cash. I know they will now have to sell players to reduce the wage bill, but i don't think too many of them will be breaking their backs to stay either.
They definitely have all the potential to be another Leeds.
