But if those goods were fit for purpose when they left the seller’s premises, and got misused and broken by the aforementioned ‘vulnerable person’, then it’s not the fault of the seller, is it?

Yes, I got that.
neither was I ?

They’ve set the ball rolling and are now up in arms because football doesn’t need them any more. The Asian market is far more lucrative than the domestic one. The Euro super duper league will come sooner rather than later and you’ll have games kicking off at times to suit China. I said it years ago, it’s just a matter of time.
The best thing that could have happened to our game is if the Fat 5/6 would have kept their nerve and buggered off to sunnier climates. Get it over and done with.

Lets be honest, most of us are complicit.
Just the same as anyone that has sat there slagging off the officials having watched the 10th replay of an incident, is complicit in VAR.
Just the same as anyone that has watched a match on Sky on Tuesday/Thursday/Friday at 12pm, 6pm, 8pm, is complicit in matches being played at times inconvenient for fans.
Everyone that has continued with their Sky Sports subscription whilst watching them rip the heart of our national game, is complicit with this financial situation.
Reap what you sow and all that.

The two aren't entirely unrelated, however; our troubles and the point you're making. The only way we could hope to compete with much smaller clubs than us was to push FFP rules to the very limit, so much so that there is a debate whether we broke them.
We wouldn't have done any of it if the playing field was level. It's ridiculous that a club of our size can't compete with a team like Bournemouth, for instance.
Absolutely no grievance with Bournemouth finishing above us totally on merit, and I don't believe we have any sort of divine right to be in any league. But at the same time, we are a one-club city, with a loyal and passionate fanbase, and that counts for so little that a seaside town with a smaller stadium than we have season ticket holders can blow us out of the water in the transfer market. Why? Because for half a decade, they were the opposition to the big clubs that people watch the world over, and they received hundreds of millions of pounds as a thank you for giving Man United someone to play against.
The terrible thing about the ESL debacle is that it's set the bar so low for what equality means in the game. The debate should be about how non-parachute Championship clubs shouldn't be at such a ridiculous disadvantage for the crime of not being Man City's cannon fodder. It should be about how the only reason why the world cares about the big English clubs is because of our rich culture, infrastructure and tradition in the game that's been in the making across three centuries, and in return for the absurd money the Premier League clubs be acknowledging their good fortune by ensuring clubs throughout the ladder can afford to pay their staff and put out a team at the weekend. 
But that's not where the debate is now. It's just about the very biggest clubs not having even more. Everybody knows they're supposed to be angry with Chelsea, Liverpool, United, City, Spurs and Arsenal. But ickle wickle innocent Everton, Villa, West Ham et al have been every bit as complicit in this greed culture since the early 90s. Nobody is talking about that anymore.
TL;DR? Greed is everywhere in the game and this isn't going to be solved any time soon.

Fantastic effort mate, we’ll done, great to see him finally get his recognition. 
I was another who lived up the top of Spondon in the 70’s (off Sandringham), probably delivered his papers, it was a bloody hard paper round that  Sancroft Road round.

I was just thinking 'that's the bar we were in', then I realised its my lad's picture
