Here’s an interesting article from fifty years ago today (18 October 1974). Back then the Mirror’s Frank McGhee thought he had a solution to the problem of debt at leading football clubs. His solution was for clubs to move in together. He talked of City and United sharing. His best line though – and typical of the period (which demonstrates how we should never assume today’s ‘giants’ have always been giants nor should we assume they always will be) – was about Spurs not being able to fill their own ground but Frank Sinatra would.
Well worth reading.
