Standard Shes only gone and invited my mate and his mrs around that night so the lads will be smashing it up whilst the girls talk crap
He got away with everything he did simply because there was nothing to stop him. Where there is money to be made and ways and means to drain it from an entity (even a social/community institution) and nothing to stop it, eventually someone without the expected scruples will beligerently go ahead and do it. The worry being if someone succeeds, it just attracts more to do the same. The only way it could be prevented would be for football's governing bodies and polititians to place safe guards and rules that work. Perhaps de-privatising the system by only allowing supporters trusts to take on clubs from here on in. The problem being, so many of those entrusted to do this benefit from the system as it is and have no motivation to change anything unless it looks like it'll impact them. Collective action tends to be the only way to convince enough political types to do something positive against their own motivations. It's probably also the only thing that will change how our sport and clubs are run. It's easy to see something needs done across the board if you support a Leeds, Portsmouth or Swindon but try telling armchair Man United, Liverpool and Chelsea fans that it's in the best interest of the future of the sport for them to not renew their Sky Sports package subscription.
