And Man City are where they are because.........................(fill in your own answer). And pretty much most of the top clubs in the food chain are where they are because.................(fill in your own answer again).
I might be going a bit out on a limb here and therefore hope no hit man will appear because I've spilled the beans with a theory. My guess is that virtually all very very rich people have done something in their past to earn at least some of their money. Fiddled a book or two, paid their workers peanuts instead of wages, done it off the back of slave labour in poor countries, inherited money their forefathers have stolen in history. You name it most have probably fallen into one of those categories. You seldom get to be very very rich by being nice. Mr A is just one of them.
I'm not a person who thinks people shouldn't be rich as such but I do think there should be a limit to how rich. I always remember the "Stars" of the time making a record with the hope that the great unwashed would pour out their hard earned and help "feed the World". Stood on that stage was just one bloke who could have donated the whole of the amount himself that was collected at the time from his small change pocket. Mr Beatle aka Paul McCartney. The rest of them could have multiplied the amount by ten from a small proportion of their accrued fame money. But mostly they just sang a few notes and wanted me and you to do it instead. Sadly had they donated said cash at that time they would have mostly had it all back with interest since then whereas my accrued wealth has not increased that much and is never likely to.
