Surely the real question the journalist should be asking is why do famous old clubs like Forest and Everton have to cheat and spend beyond their means just to survive in the top tier? Is the growing inequality in the football hierarchy sustainable? Should owners be gambling the future of football clubs just for a chance to pull up a chair at the top table or should they be acting more like responsible custodians.
Football at present is just an exaggerated reflection of wider society. There's a growing inequality between the super rich at the top and rest. All the wealth is being concentrated in the top 1% and it's not trickling down. What used to just effect the poorest is now spreading up through the middle classes. United made some dumb decisions in preseason, but I think we'll begin to see more and more that it's the system that's broken, not the "poor" and "unambitious" promoted teams who are just trying to survive within their means.
