Recently been to Belgrade in Serbia and went to see a Partizan game refreshing to see some real fans unlike the prawn sandwich brigade we have at our top flight clubs in England. Despite how much he is despised in Leeds, i'd rather have a poor cashless club with Bates in charge instead of been a heartless franchise like some of Europe's clubs have turned into like Man Utd, Man City, Chelsea, Red Bull teams ect. I wouldn't trade the best players in the world for our passion, tradition and history. Today's game is just so commercialized and flooded with money, it's like watching NFL with their ad breaks every 2 seconds when watching Premier League. Quite honestly they can stick their Arab and American millions up their arse if it meant we'd turn into the soulless, heartless franchises of today's modern game and I would take Ken Bates any day. What about you lot? The philosphical route with passion and tradition (and crap players) or the greedy route buy the world's best players and enjoy years of success -0105-wink:
Totally agree. Reminds me of our first game with Arsenal in last years FA Cup when Snoddy scored. Camera panned around some of the Arsenal supporters in suits and I swear they couldnt have cared less. Unfortunately those few foreign owned soulless clubs at the top of the Premiership are totally ****ing up the english game
