Funny someone speaking some sense…..
I think the Red Cartel is a myth used by underachieving club supporters.
Liverpool didn't win a league for 30 years.
United similar
Arsenal 22 and never won a European Champions Cup
Chelsea were a run down shitheap run by a man putting barbed wire up.
City were a club you just had to beat to get where you needed to go.
Villa finished second in the early Prem and never capitalised despite always been run prudently
Newcastle won nothing for 70 years with plenty of fans and Prem money.
Leeds spent half of their existence outside of the top flight
Yes, there are romantic and historic reasons why Liverpool, United and Arsenal "caught fire" and imaginations of huge numbers. It's why people buy iphones, Ferraris, want to live in London, New York or Paris. Some things transcend the normal.
The 3 big clubs aren't all wine and roses either. Glazers are a cancer on the club, FSG and LFC fans butt heads often, likewise Kroenkes. But to suggest they have some golden key to unlock corrupt practice over 5 decades on their favour, there just isn't the evidence for it.
Do I believe every club should start a season having a capable squad which I'm theory could win the league? Yes.
Do I think the current financial rules punish some clubs because of the corruption of others? Yes.
Do I think every club should spend whatever they like? No, because of the shitshow we're seeing today.
City and Chelsea when I was a kid were second division also rans and a Steve Mackenzie thunderbastard v Spurs. And that's cool, loved both.
But the "Red Cartel" trophy cabinet is real, and won fairly and squarely at home and abroad. Rome, Barcelona, White Hart Lane, etc etc.
Chelsea, City ( and other clubs now) feel 60 years of being crap entitles them to a turbo charged catch up programme based on state ownership, oligarchy and alleged serious financial wrongdoing.
Those clubs should all come together and force the Prem to change all sorts of rules. They don't. Why? They all look after number 1.

Even though he played for those lot….Got a lot of time for this. Finally someone who speaks some sense and not afraid to say it how it is!
Bang on Jermaine 👏
You know what….. Man City fans instead of getting personal and typing attacks at me, how about hold your hands up and take accountability and go yeah we f@#%ed up and breached some rules.
Actually keyboard warriors I’ll go 1 better. DM me your email, I’ll send you a link and we have a 5 min debate LIVE on kick. Fascinating to see what you got to say and how you defend it. Then you can abuse me to my face if you must

These Bert’s are taking it well 🤣
I couldn’t give a fuck if we had 500 charges.
I would laugh even harder if we cheated.
I hope we did and fuck all happens mate.
I genuinely couldn’t give a rats arse what courts decide.
The sport I watch is 11 v 11 on the pitch.
Your shit hole team has failed in every aspect on and off it for nigh on 14 years. £1.1 billion in debt, salmonella and rats in the stadium, 15th, lay offs. Get the fuck out.
You have no moral ground to stand on.
Fuck off.
