I said, you really want to talk money. 1989, Manchester United become the first club in England to change to a PLC, you turned football into a business and now you're moaning because someone is better at it than you? 1990. You, Liverpool, Everton, Tottenham and Arsenal hold the FA hostage over wanting a larger cut of the leagues money, you don't want to share matchday income with the away side and it you don't get what you want you'll form a breakaway league. The FA caves and two years later you went ahead and formed the breakaway league anyway. You then form the G14 to ensure that if you are qualifying for Europe, you will continue to qualify for Europe and ensure that seeded sides get further in the competition to rake in the most amount of money you can. You break the transfer record for a defender in 2003, a record that in this "inflated"(I did the air quotes) market, only got broken 11 years later in this window, you broke £100,000/week barrier in 1997 with Roy Keane at a time when you could pay transfer fees and wages that no-one else in the league could come close to, and you want to talk about buying the league?
He was quiet. The other workman laughed(Liverpool supporter and surprisingly nice guy) and said "I don't think you want to argue with this guy, he knows his football" I was very smug.

Mmmm.......Smug Slim :- it's got quite a poetic ring to it.
You're at least lucky that this guy let you speak and gave you the chance to fire all broadsides at him. Most of the Scummers I come across only want to hear the sounds of their own voices and not listen to any counter arguments.
All in all, a nice, factual discourse; well done to you.

Quite restrained there actually fella. Don't want to be a twat but Spuds were the first to go PLC in 1983 I think. You also could have mentioned how often they've broke transfer records or how they force season ticket holders to compulsory purchase tickets for cup games. Rags don't want to hear it though and get all defensive and don't believe it because SKY haven't told them its true
