Bluesteel Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 The whole of football is in this situation. Championship clubs allowed to lose 13m. But what if they lose 500k one year and their owner can’t pay that? Good night. The game is wholly reliant on rich owners to fund a loss making industry seemingly at every level now with fans out the picture Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Football is now more of a business than ever, not like the old days when money came from the fans. Unfortunate we can't turn the clock back, so can see more clubs going part time.

I guess you're right overall but what gets me is that there is enough money sloshing around for all the presents clubs to be able to compete and the players still get a decent wage. Football is where you get capitalism at its worse and best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mildatheart67 Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Winners of this year's premier get £150 million. You would think the PFA might have something to say,not a peep. Well actually they have told players to resist and wage reduction across the board. Also and this is from Simon Jordan on Talksport the PFA as a charity is sat on £44 million. Even better the Premiership superstars pay same subs as the bottom league players ,think it was £50 odd quid a month! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too much money at the top the gulf is just too great now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S36 OWL Posted September 16, 2020 Share Posted September 16, 2020 Football disgusts me. The greed is obscene. Back in the late 60's I fell in love with a game played by 22 working class men who earned the same as the supporters who stood on the terraces to cheer them on. I now hate football and everything it has become. If it wasn't for my lifelong live of Wednesday I would quite happily turn my back on the whole parasite infested cesspit.

I agree but we are very small island and there may be far too many teams competing for way too few fans I've wondered for a while what would be a sustainable number of teams. 60? 70?

BIG SIX THE REST Premier League 26 2 (one since 1995) (runners up) 24 4 (none since 1997) (third place) 23 5 (none since 2003) FA Cup 25 3 League Cup 19 9 (two since 2004) That is frightening stats, however, we are still in the league cup..

Mr Farrell Posted September 17, 2020 Share Posted September 17, 2020 I know a 17 year old who's never started a game at a South Yorkshire club, who's on £900 a week. The game is fooked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True,in its literal sense but dont forget attendances help drive an overall interest in the Football 'product;' which than attracts big TV money advertisers/sponsors...its all inter related and hard to seperate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
