Apparently we've got loads of money to spend

We've been outspent by 25 other clubs in England alone over the last 5 years, including the likes of Wolves, Swansea, Hull and Blackpool. While charging the highest amount for tickets...

So let's stop with the 'oh noes we're broke and we can't afford to spend on quality or else we'll go bankrupt' stuff.

This is a good strategy for a purely private enterprise, especially an enterprise facing relatively inelastic demand (i.e. an increase in prices doesn't lead to a significant drop in ticket sales). However, for a football club that is supposed to be embedded within its community and serves a wider social objective, the way the board have shafted us over the last 6-7 years is nothing short of a disgrace. While they line their pockets with gold by increasing the value of their shares and profiteering from property sales, the fans are left to pick up the tab.
