The problem being that McCabe picked all the managers, sanctioned the buys and sales etc, etc.
There aren't many clubs of reasonable stature who've been as badly run as us over recent years - I can think of Coventry and our friends across the city, while one or two have fallen into a coma like Ipswich and Forest, not many more.

If United had gone into administration, screwed creditors but got into and stayed in the PL. you'd be quite happy with that?

Southampton is an example of an extremely well-run football club.
Or Burnley. Or Swansea up until recently. Or Leicester. West Brom. Stoke.
We're currently having a good season in the Championship but our history doesn't lie in terms of how badly-run we've been.

I don't think there is a single 'extremely well run football club' in the country. Some as just less poorly run than others.

*Edit: possibly WBA is an exception.
 
all football clubs are money pits

If I had 500m spare I still wouldn throw away money on a football club

No idea why mccabe does it with the abuse he gets. , hed probably have been a billionaire now if hed steered clear of us

It's a serious question. How much does one bloke and his family need? Is being a billionaire that much better than being a multimillionaire? What good does it do you in the bank? Obviously you want to set your kids up but when you look at a lot of rich kids, do you want your grandkids to be spoilt brats or just to be well educated and financially secure enough to follow their dreams? If I found £500m behind the back of the sofa I'd be happy to spend £400m on the Blades (or £300m and £100m in a charitable trust, something like that). I wouldn't want to pop my clogs with £1bn in the bank that I'd worked hard to earn but never enjoyed.

Agree with West Brom but Burnley is a relatively small town in Lancashire, with few star players. They've been doing pretty well since they beat us in the play-offs.
Brighton had no ground and were playing in Gillingham not so long ago.
Southampton have raised well over one hundred million from selling players just to Liverpool and have been in the Prem for years, along with making a League Cup final.
Swansea, a small city in Wales, several years in the Prem, won the League Cup.
Hard to deny they haven't been well run in recent years.

I would steer clear of football,and do what Jeff Tracy did,with Kirsten Scott Thomas as my Lady Penelope
 
The basics are

CW was given a £1.2 million wage cut from what was given to Adkins. Even though transfer profits were higher.

This wage bill includes players like Woolford / Hammond etc.

CW clearly is a truly exceptional manager. Most other managers struggle to get success. CW has the lowest amount of wage budget given to us in League and wins the thing.

But it's all relative - "By the late 1950's and early 1960's the claret and blue of Burnley had become the most feared colours in the domestic game and, following several near misses, the First Division title again came the club's way on the very last day of the 1959-1960 season at Manchester City"
They're no where near the status they once were, so OBVIOUSLY, their current owners are a bunch of miserly retards :(

Even when you get people slagging you off saying it should have been £450m?
