No brainer for me; every club/team/supporter should aspire to play at the highest level they can
If not, what is the point...?
Personally, I never watch 'friendlies' pre/post or mid season, as I just can't get excited for them, if there is no competitive edge
The nearest exception is for testimonial games where I will buy a ticket for the right player/reason but I don't turn up tp watch the otherwise meaningless game
City v Spurs finished me off many years ago, when we were 'promised' Gazza, Lineker, Clemence and others and we got a makeshift team with the only known 'star' being ex-Man City and England man, Paul Stewart (who, to be fair, had a great game and tore us a new one)
