I dont think he was joking, tbh.
Anyone who sees this awful news as a cause celebre has real issues, imo. Yes, we may benefit from it, in the same way as we may benefit from it if Plymouth Argyle are wound up, but personally the right thing to do is to keep your fingers crossed that it doesnt turn out too bad for the affected party and STFU and act dignified if we really do gain from it.
Never forget that next time it could be us suffering the misfortune and someone else benefitting from it without even a glance in our direction.
