Why, why why do people on here keep on about what Matheus Pereira is worth and that we’ll be selling him at a handsome profit next year!!! We are a top level club both now and historically but with a League 1 or 2 mindset. 😡
Can’t we be ambitious and build a club aiming for success instead of looking to immediately sell our prize assets?
And, while I’m ranting, Matheus’ name is spelt PEREIRA not the various offerings seem by some on here!
My tune for a rant - It's a bit difficult to feel ambitious as a fan when we've had a board/ owners for as long as my lifetime (I'm 44) who have been happy to be in the top flight as opposed to trying to win anything or develop the club into anything other than just existing in the top flight (we're continually told this is success by the club, press , everyone). That's the reality of our life as a club and football today. Anyone who thinks football has become anything other than 90% about money is not being completely honest with themselves - the owners, boards, managers, coaches, players, agents and fans are all obsessed with money, trading, transfer fees and the money around football.
A large part of me wishes the TV money would collapse and clubs would go to majority fan ownership and then we could see 'unfashionable' , 'poor' clubs like us punch again against clubs who are built on money and it being a vehicle for sloshing loads of cash around the globe in a 'tax efficient' way
