Are we competing with Liverpool?

[Le Tissier's Laces]

HAHA!! Priceless.

All we have learnt is what we always knew. There is a football hierarchy which has existed for decades and the smaller teams hauling themselves alongside these traditional big teams, let alone above them, is more or less impossible to do.

When Saints and Swansea fans were shouting about how they were now equal to LFC and could rival them to players and this was set to continue I just laughed as I've been around football long enough to have known that it was all hot air and wouldn't happen without a Sheik or oil baron, and sooner rather than later the status quo in the football food chain would return.

But not long enough to realise that our owners were as rich as those people you're talking about. The difference is only that we previously had a chairman that was looking to the top four as a target and wanted to squeeze the money to achieve that out of the owners. That was rejected in the way he wanted, he left, situation changed.

So y'know, perhaps you're not being as clever as you think.
