    Remember before the rules when clubs took advantage of having the most money.

    How did they get “the most money”.
    In those days it was wealthy owners, which wasn’t exclusive to just them, commercial activities, which again wasn’t exclusive to them, or being able to put more bums on seats, Newcastle have had all of those, but in relative terms haven’t been successful. Why was that?

    Just need a Fernandes card, four other cards and 10 more corners for a 100/1 winner. Easy.

    Liverpools success mostly came from before Sky mate, so that’s just nonsense. As a 60 year old, I remember TV coverage of the old first division which was pretty much the Big Match <laugh>

    they were allowed to, that’s why they had a massive wage bill.

    Even Newcastle were fairly successful until TV money. You mentioned commercial growth and I answered the question.
