# Absolutley;
It's also not helped by a Media who seem to think that every fan believes we're a top-four side; we don't! We're just fed up of the club being dragged through the mud by mercenary players and successive boards who take advantage of the fan's loyalty and treat the club with contempt.

# For sure,
The amounts of money involved in the prem leage is just obscene; Lampard being paid £120,000 a WEEK is just disgusting!

I think you'll find a lot of prem league supporters deserting it in favour of lower leage clubs because it's more accessible to the 'normal' fan; not just coporate sponsors.
