Are we partially responsible for the rise of the Billionaire owners?

Fuck no.

We can't continue to criticise the "greed" of other clubs without acknowledging the greed of our own club first. I've already mentioned the formation of the EPL (which has our fingerprints all over), going back further in history what about the dodgy way we got promoted to the top division after the war, with Herbert Norris' political influence despite finishing 5th? No club's whiter than white.

Oh dear.

Would say I'm shocked at the lengths you go too to discredit the club, but then I remember to whom I'm responding.

I'm hardly discrediting the club, but there's this idea that we're the custodians of the game, and have always behaved with class and honour, while the noveau rich clubs are the ones destroying the game. I'm simply saying we've contributed to the destruction of the game as well, along with teams like Liverpool, Utd, Everton and all the clubs who wanted to breakaway from the football league. I'm not saying we are the worst culprits, but we're not flawless by any means.

Joker, quit while you are behind, think of yourself as Arsene in 10th, need a plan B that makes sense, that has some strain of logic and that we can understand.
