I think it should not matter if the clubs wear the Poppy or not. They never used too and the recent trend seems to be a PR exercise. The players don't choose to wear them as a matter of personal choice and turning it into an image issue cheapens it IMO. Last year United didn't wear them, they did however donate money and allow collections around the ground yet this didn't matter to the press who made the wearing of the Poppy the absolute decider of respect or disrespect.
