I'm not disputing that it may well be the case nor would I be surprised if them and every other big club done similar. However I can never take any article serious when it gives quotes without actually referencing them. Anyone could write an article and stick in quotes that may or may not be true. Edit: his next article goes onto admit he is a Liverpool fan who hates man United. Interesting read indeed!
Jamie I'm exactly the same, I'm forever moaning about the state of things these days, I often have to think back to the early 80's to remind myself just how shite things where back then too!
My post wasn't really at odds with it. Every generation does have a habit of talking about how better things where when they were younger. Unless football has went downhill since it started someone has it wrong.
