Of course I have. City pay 900k a week for a star player. That puts pressure on their rivals to keep up and trickles all the way down. Its not healthy for football for state owned clubs paying such money for players. The mags will be be doing it themselves before long.
I find it quite strange how many safc fans seem to.be defending the obscene spending of state owned clubs. Don't get it at all.
Governance should be tighter. But it's undeniable oil state are able to flout current rules more than other clubs.
There are a multitude of reasons why state owned football clubs are shite and bad for football. Not sure why anyone would support their presence other than fans of the 3 relevant teams.
