Football isn't supposed to be about the wealth of the owners. The fact that billionaire owners could arbitrarily choose a club to bankroll to the top, making the competition essentially an ownership lottery, was always a bug rather than a feature.

That's sporting integrity. That's fair competition.

@nufcbase@NicoAnelka9 It inevitably causes some wage inflation throughout the squad over time but it doesn't immediately cause discord or cause every player to ask for parity. Doesn't happen with Haaland at City.
