4. Just evil wishful thinking.

I'm a Tottenham Hotspur fan, and Spurs really suck this year and most of their starters are injured. On the other hand, Spurs did punish ManU by winning the UEFA Europa League last season, thus qualifying for this year's UEFA Champions League despite finishing 17th in the table. So perhaps it's Karma, or Zen, or something.

FULL DISCLOSURE: Tottenham Hotspur are majority owned by the Lewis family who own a holding company called ENIC Group. They own a lot of different things in general all over the world, but seem to specialize in nothing in particular other than the club, its stadium, and apparently some of the real estate around it. Family Patriarch Joe Lewis was recently pardoned by Donald Trump for financial crimes. Looking at the ownerships of Premier League clubs gives you a laundry list of nefarious billionaires and oil emirs, and very little else. Kinda like the NFL but perhaps worse. Put one of those assholes in front of a microphone and you get what Ratcliffe did. It's just that most of them are wise enough to have mouthpieces.
