Can you imagine being a support worker at UTD, maybe in the ticketing office or restaurant etc, suddenly the new boss is sticking his nose into your work related circumstances, trying to cut costs by making you pay for your own travel down to the cup final when they waste absolute gazillions on players that only turn up when they feel like it / there is a piece of silverware to be had.

Twas ever thus. Every time we went bust the people who suffered the most were small businesses and the non playing staff. The players made sure they got theirs and most didn't even deserve it.

One more point

According to this link, he never played for us, started life with the 'clowns' . . . [Link]

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

The only thing that is certain is that he won’t go to Man U this summer despite what the media are saying. He showed last year, when he turned down Chelsea, that he is not swayed by money alone. Man U would be a huge risk for him at this point - no one even knows who the manager will be next season but whoever it is they will have a huge job transforming a disparate bunch of overpaid ‘stars’ into a proper team.

The Eze to Spurs rumours are starting to hot up. Although they seem based on the fact that his family were invited to watch the North London Derby (may be cos his agent represents a couple of their players) and he posed with Maddison on X the other day. He did also pose with the other 3 Palace players too in a seperate snap.

I hope you're right and I was thinking the same up until a week ago.
It's not nice seeing all the rumours of our best players being linked with moves away. Probably the same for Sunderland and Norwich fans though with us linked with Bellingham and Sara.
