Oh, there are plenty of things about market forces that I don’t like, TW, but I don’t think there’s a better system. In life nothing’s ever going to be perfect.
A colleague of mine, who just happens to be a socialist — doesn’t bother me and we get on very well — is a Man City season ticket holder. I tease him about the money side of Man City’s success given his political views and in true football supporter style he says: “I know, but I’m just enjoying it while it lasts”.
I’m quite sure that if the club was doing OK I’d manage to overlook a lot of other things that are wrong with the game. I’ve absolutely no idea why the club’s position has affected me so much, but it has.
