I'm slightly surprised by the shoulder-shrugging tone of many of the responses on this thread which suggest to me what I have suspected for some time - that professional football has become too important - so important, in fact, that many people are simply prepared to accept that anything goes and that winning at all costs is an acceptable philosophy. I have long given up expecting any decent behaviour from the authorities who speak with forked tongues, e.g. the PL and EFL purporting to apply "fit and proper person" tests whilst allowing crooks like Abramovich to buy Chelsea and UEFA claiming there is such a thing as financial fair play, but I had thought, or at least hoped, that most discerning fans would apply more principled standards to their supporting habits.
So, to answer Oadlad, I have been a supporter of this club since the mid 1950s, as I suspect he has too. Our current owners have been absolutely brilliant but if I suspected that they were using the club to launder money I would withdraw my support, even if we were to win the Champions' League thereby.
And I can't agree that any one club winning four trophies in one season would be good for the game.
