@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly Because apart from the fact there is more to a football club than a bought and paid for league position & that there should be more to a football league than an empty farce of Our Biliionaire Is Bigger Than Your Billionaire...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...the extension of egregious financial doping way down the English pyramid, presents huge dangers not just for the integrity of football, but for fans, the clubs themselves & rivals forced into a choice between joining an arms-race they can't hope to sustain or giving up...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...It leads to leagues becoming horrifically distorted - most clubs in the lower leagues are never going to attract multi-billionaire owners like Salford's...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...Those who feel compelled to find wealthy owners in a desperate attempt to keep up with the Salfords often dicover that where there's brass in football there's very often muck - confidence tricksters who prey on clubs/fans' desire to level the playing field...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...If you are a club that can't find a billionaire and wants to run sustainably, or believe in fan ownership like ours, then thanks to Frankenstein abominations like Salford you have to accept the glass ceiling getting lower and lower every year...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...Gigantic financial doping in the EPL cascading down the divisions is gradually killing the dream of even semi-sustainability in the Championship for many clubs. Do you want to see a future where the dream of even playing in the EFL without wealthy owners is also dead?...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...no matter the depth of history, the fanbase, or the community roots of a club & no matter how clever, astute or innovative a club tries to be, due to the fact that 9 times out of 10 it will be obliterated by a rival's money?...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly If you stopped listening to the spin by the media desperate to fellate EPL footballers, you might appreciate that Salford are particularly distasteful. The Peter Lim/Farce of 92 property empire has effectively hijacked the club's identity...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ..The badge has been changed, their historic, much-loved tangerine kit has been dumped in favour of a MUFC clone (after the hypocrite Neville slagged Vincent Tan for simply changing Cardiff's shirt)...
@SammyAdkins @KentWomble @FPL_Fly ...Even the fans have changed, given that many of the original 200 left in disgust - the Farce of 92 have replaced the fanbase with glory hunters, not grown it. Salford aren't much better than MK Dons - would you call that a great story?
