This stupid saga has really turned football into a complete and utter joke for me. For God's sake, what other business could get away with all this? They should be out of business now. Football needs a wake up call, and this should be it.
They should not be allowed to sell players outside of the window, they should not be given special treatment because they are a Premier League side, and they should not be given any hand outs.
They got themselves into this mess, they need to either find a way out, now, or go out of business. Get back into the real world and realise that this kind of crap won't sell.
Make an example of them. No-one ever wants a football club to go out of business, but it needs to happen.
