So it's a business now and those big fat businessmen know how much they get in return if they are to spend an absurd amount of initial investment more than we do, that's a fact. Thats all very poetic and cute, but its not like other sports dont have storylines, the NFL makes twice as much in TV money than the PL. Its not just a business now its always been a business. Its just not very good business. The executive will make his money regardless. Most PL clubs are not money making enterprises but simply vanity projects for rich owners who may or may not care much about any ROI You are also kinda late to the part in pointing out TV deals.

Afobe - Bournemouth striker, if they score goals im sure he will be in the mix Lindgaard - United winger, he looks their best midfielder, outside of Miki of course. Drinkwater - Still cheap, carried Leicester with his midfield plays and assists Valdes - Will be Boro no1 choice, gotta be worth a punt for a sub keeper at least. | ||

If you're implying that even though the NFL makes more TV money, the players aren't as expensive, then it's because they have a salary cap. 2. If clubs don't spend the money they make, what are they supposed to do with it? 3. Nowhere in the article you quoted did it imply that the amount of spending is unsustainable. | ||

A salary cap is a fucking excellent idea and it's stupid that UEFA hasn't done this yet. I guess EU free market regulations get in the way, but it would solve so many problems. | ||

No im actually not implying that at all. Im just pointing out that all that poetic stuff and story-lines has little to do with money involved. Its an eyeballs and ratings game I am familiar with salary caps thank you. This point was mentioned and dicsussed go back and read the last few pages of the discussion, its silly to jump into a conversation in a vaccum and annoying to address. 2. Clubs can spend money in plenty of ways that are alot more useful. Reducing the intense pressure from ticket pricing is an obvious one. Maybe save it or invest it work towards recovering debt and maybe give back to the communities that actually pay them in the first place ? 3. The article is just information and numbers. You are supposed to make up your own mind on what the numbers mean. Dont get me wrong. I am a huge proponent of power clubs. Without big clubs that dominate the game would never be as big as it is today. But there is that and then there is unsustainable inflation and the rates are staggering. Again "we have more money is very poor reason to spend more money." | ||

Again "we have more money is very poor reason to spend more money." This is how businesses work under competition. It would be self-destructive to not invest the money you make. | ||

They can reinvest in community projects so to speak but i know from a Chelsea point of view we do a load of those already from Asian superstar contests to academies and training centres all around the world. Im pretty sure that is standard for other clubs too. Pretty sure it comes down to 90% of the turnover a club makes goes onto players/staff in terms of wages and transfer fee's. Other 10% is probably shifted between upgrades to facilities/maintenance etc. Just the way the sport is and forever will be. | ||

You would need to cite some actual data to show why the growth in unsustainable, as well as have a basic understanding of economics. This is how businesses work under competition. It would be self-destructive to not invest the money you make. Yes we all know how awesome unregulated markets are and self correct appropriately. Oh wait.

One it puts you behind others in terms of turnover in the first place and two there is no need to do it, every club in premier league last season was 95% or above every game in terms of ticket sales. What is cutting the prices by £5er going to achieve in the long run to them making money to keep the FFP ticking over which is what it is still all about to a certain extent anyway.

Yeah I know, and Ive been fine with it in the past, its the market let it deal with it, but the transfer and wage inflation is getting into stupid territory. Or maybe Im just really salty that a Mino Raiola is getting like 30 million as a broker. Somethings definitely wrong here. Footie is like the only thing SKY has going for it. Same for the Star networks in asia and east asia (although cricket deals help quite a bit in India aswell) And Star isnt exclusive so Sky/BBC licensing it out is a pretty big injection for them. UK and European susbscribers arent that much money. So ofcourse the broadcast money is going nowhere, but with all the clubs in so much red just using it to cover yearly spending just seems unsafe to me. Arsenal does it right, sure they dont win nothing but spending isnt really the reason anymore. | ||

And watch what happens to teams who spend on PL revenue and get relegated. Straight to the stoneage. Debt financing is normal and neccessary. But not at the levels they are at and going toward. | ||

Anyway, Raiola raking in 30million pissed me off too, that isn't even funny how someone can make that much money from a football transfer of a player from one club to another its just absolutely retarded. However transfer figures and numbers always been the issue with football, nothing wrong with the game itself or what we see when they play. However when transfers and agents get into the spotlight its just time to hide face! | ||

What do "regular businesses" have to do that football clubs don't? Regulation is not limited to the government, the FA regulates things like home-grown players, which influences price. Who's talking about debt financing? What does that have to do with anything? | ||
