Each week GITG acknowledges persons in and around football for their services to being a git.
This week the award goes to FC Midtjylland director, Cliff Crown!
Cliff Crown defended his decision today to charge Manchester United fans £71-a-ticket to watch tomorrow’s Europa League last-32 first leg.
Crown blubbed: “We’re a small club…we have to make the most of our opportunity.” Yeah fuck it charge £200, make the most of it you cunt. This selfish move would almost be understandable if Crown was a simple Scandinavian longboat craftsman who didn’t know any better, but he isn’t. Crown is also a director of Brentford FC, joining Midtjylland’s board only recently when Brentford owner Matthew Benham became majority shareholder of the Danish club in 2014.
In other words, Crown, who looks like what you'd get if you mix Mr Potato Head with a Spanish politician, knows exactly the amount English fans are reluctantly willing to pay to watch their favourite clubs week-in-week-out and is fucking his own people like a mad king to make a quick buck.
This cynical and ill-timed move comes on the back of recent fan protests in England against rising match day ticket fees.
United fans intend to hold a protest of their own against the £71 ticket price by buying all the tickets and then waving a few banners around. Yeah that’ll do it.
So congratulations Cliff Crown, not only do you sound like a mundane topographical occurrence, you are this week’s GOTW!
