Poor Man Utd fans

Those poor Manchester United fans, being made to pay 45quid to get into Fulham’s ground last weekend when Bolton fans only paid 25quid. Three observations here

(1) it’s a demand and supply thing. If more Man U fans want to travel than there is space then prices go up.

(2) In a football world far, far away Man U were one of those teams that pushed to keep all home receipts for league games. They contributed to the deep divide we see today in English football and the way teams look for quick cash and allow themselves to be taken over by foreign investors.

(3) Most of the Man U supporters probably live in London anyway so they saved on travel costs!!

Well done Fulham!

The End of CT

Not too sad to see CT go. Only worry is how long DW will last without Windass and JJ. DW doesn’t look like he is going to play again so that is 3 quality players lost.

It’s a strange move by Rhodes at this point of the season. 6 games into the season yes, sack CT, but not 6 games into the New Year when the transfer window is closed. I’m sure JR made up his mind to sack CT after the Millwall FA Cup defeat, but it took him this long to pluck up the courage to do something. I’m all for DW being a success, but I do get worried when an ex-defender is a manager. Defence is a different mind set to attacking and scoring goals.

With the end of CT era I’m going to open up this blog to a rant about football in general.
