I'm not being silly though am I. My missus used to work for the Council as a home carer, she left because they halved her wages. They now pay Councillors a small fortune to f*ck up our City, they pay managers a small fortune to waste our money, and they waste lots of money on buying art that the majority of tax-payers couldn't give a monkeys about.
Personally, I would be happier if they used the money to buy the Stadium, rather than spunking it on idiot councillors, lazy greedy management and dust gathering paintings.
