Maybe more important than ever to stand by your club and remind everyone of the club\supporter's values.
I respectfully disagree. If the club sells its soul and becomes funded by bloodmoney ... its lost its soul. Its lost its integrity and its turned its back on the true values of life and the values this club has always stood for.
So the only question is are you going to stand by the club funded by blood money ... turn a blind eye to atrocities past present and future and go along with it as long as they keep pumping that money in to buy us trophies, bragging rights and shiny new footballers ... or do you go down my road and accept that it won't be the same club. We'd be like city ... sold our soul to be used as a sportswashing tool.
We're in the position we are in because we haven't done what we should of done.
The likes of Jones keita chamberlain should have been shipped out long ago and the money used to bring in quality.
Thiago was a big mistake ... ageing , injury prone and doesn't suit our style of play.
Wijnaldum should have been given a new deal ... too good to let go. He's never been replaced.
We spent 65m plus on a striker when we needed midfielders. We let taki go ... how we could have done with him this season.
We've made big mistakes ... we've sat on our hands and allowed this to happen ... buying one midfielder in the best part of 5 years. And he didn't suit the style that made us great.
None of these failures has anything to do with dirty oil money. If we'd have done what we should have done and rebuilt from a position of strength, as all great teams do then nobody would even be suggesting it. But we sat on our hands.
I said last July and was strongly criticised for it that going into the new season. With 4 injury prone midfielders , a 37 year old, an ageing captain who is losing his intensity and a couple of kids was negligence and so it's been proved. We've got the poorest quality midfield in the league.
People have hidden and people still hide behind this almost 4 trophies blah blah blah ... the cracks were there ... we just kept using filler on them.
Forget oil money ... we've made glaring mistakes ... plain and simple and we are paying a very heavy price now.
