So if Sheikh Jeffery Jaffa was to buy us tomorrow and give us money to spend on Hummels,Rues,Gundongan etc etc to add to our current squad and we win the title you would think thats selling our soul for some piece of silverware?
Exactly Shabs and the fact is we could afford those players right now but the investors (as JWH told us) just want optimum return on their minimal investment. The truth is; when Chelsea (for e.g.) set off, with their new money, on the path to greatness they had no history and a very poor team. In short; they had to spend big to attract players. They don't now.
Abramovich used (and risked) his own money and it paid off but it might not have. Thirteen years and fifteen(?) trophies later - he's still there.
I'll wager any F***ing one, right here and right now - the carpetbaggers won't come close to matching either of Abramovich's figures.It's also, quite simply, a F***ing lie to say either Chelsea (or Man City) don't invest in their communities or have no connection with them - believe that low-brow, sh*t and you'll eat everything you can see.
Would new owners need to start from scratch with us; to build tradition; to build history? Nah. The only difference we'd see between them and the carpetbaggers is a primary objective (and will) to win football matches, titles and trophies. There would be no more F***ing about or need to peddle the open ended, 'Long-term Lie' bullshit to half-witted mugs.
Each to their own - if people don't want to win because they actually believe the spiel, the lies and the bullshit from our snake-oil salesmen (and their PR dept) and have bought into some romantic notion that FSG care - so be it...
Me? I'd have an owner like Abramovich who actually wants his football team to win, over the Boston charlatans, all day every day.
