Can anyone send this to Barber , he might learn something.It is staggering that, for only a few quid more than the cost of an Arsenal ticket, you can have a weekend in Germany.
OK We might not get the world class super heroes in the Premiership - but who cares?
I would agree with that. No foreign ownership, and putting the fans and the game first. O K We might not get the world class super heroes in the Premiership - but who cares? Was the game less passionate & entertaining before they came ? No.

it was interesting being in the makeshift studio with three fans who had stopped watching their clubs as a result of the feeling of disconnect. They were quite principled and you have to applaud them for that, but with premier league attendances at 96% of capacity, there are enough people replacing the dissenters to ensure the big clubs are impervious to the unhappiness of a small but still important minority.
The manchester city marketing director admitted they got things wrong in relation to pricing of the roma game, and to be fair to city, they are investing heavily in the local area in terms of youth development and infrastructure.
I think the issue is greater in the championship, where there are far more empty seats. Getting the pricing right is a difficult task, especially as fan revenue is far more significant than in the pl (the albion have 51% of income from fans, the likes of united and city it's about 21%), so the club does have to maximise revenue without hacking fans off to the extent that they stop attending.
Sitting next to rowetta from the mondays on one side in her united top and three citeh fans on the other side was 'interesting' as they were hissing at each other when the microphones were away.
