I suppose I do show emotion. As a fan and citizen of this country I think that's justified.

I absolutely agree that governments need to reap the rewards in terms of equity. A deal needs to be put in place that satisfies all parties. I definitely don't expect a government to outright pay for stadiums and not get any benefits.
