but I agree entirely.

Football clubs should not adopt corporate form really, or at least not traditional corporate form. The purpose of a company is to make money for the shareholders. That should not be the purpose of a football club, which should be to strive to achieve the best long-term football league and cup performances for the club, within its means. Change the purpose of football clubs back to the true spirit of sport and force owners to run them as such. The football league is a disgrace to have allowed this to happen. The company running the club and owning the registration can go bust, but the club should survive in its own right with the football league itself taking control on a temporary basis if necessary. Insane really. God I hate so much about football. Playing it? Brilliant. The rest is wank.
