I know the Carling Cup is nothing compared to the CL but I'm a Palace fan. We take what we can get

...even though I'm also a Servette FC fan, which meant I had to root for Basel, the team that's been stomping us this year on our return to the first division. But, as they say, the enemy of my enemy is my friend (at least for 90 minutes or so).

Does anyone know about the financing and philosophy of Basel? I admire how assuredly they beat MU, and want to follow them if their foundation is good.
