Summary

Why are football fans so thick? Myself included?

Why do we pay ridiculous amounts of cash but have no real say in our teams. Why do we splash out on replica shirts and season tickets. Is football eating itself?

Coventry City fans are acting as if the second coming is happening because Frank Lampard has been appointed as Head Coach after the unfair sacking of Mark Robins.

Frank was a brilliant player but his managerial experience is much less than Mark Robins.

Why are football fans so easy to manipulate by the men who own the clubs or the countries who own them. Then the TV companies rip us off with their packages

The people who run the so called beautiful game despise the ordinary fan and just rip us off and we are almost complicit in this con trick.

Am I right or wrong?
