An open letter from Rick Parry (football hero)

Dear soccer fans (little clubs) 

You might remember me as Rick Parry head of the Premier League or Rick Parry, CEO of Liverpool FC. Back then I was well into mad unsustainable spending and all of that. Hey, I was all for a European Super League but now, I'm on your side. We're all in this together.

Some of you might be thinking 'hang on Rick' - haven't you caused some of these issues wherein football clubs are living hand to mouth, mired in debt and borrowing against their own assets. Some of you might be thinking... , Rick, weren't you a key part of creating the culture that made that a necessity, if you wanted to compete?

Don't worry about all that. Leave it to the people like me, the money men, to run the game because we know best. I've checked things out (on my computer - some of you may have one of those in your office or at the house of a rich relative who works from home) and you'll be surprised to know that I've calculated that having fans at games is important! I know. Who knew?

To that end, we've sorted it all out on ifollow, which is obviously the main thing at the moment, because you're all just gullible consumers.

Please can you also pop outside tonight at 8pm - We're going to be having a #clapforsponsors sponsored by the sponsors followed by a #clapforirvingscholar followed by a ceremonial burning of club funds in praise of the gods of the free market.

Thanks all.

Love

Rick
