Change

Can anyone (not reem) give me some of their (eloquently, please) opinions on the ways football has changed in the last 30 odd years? And opinions of this change and shit.

Maybe with a bit of focus on the influence of business? Or football as a culture? That kind of thing.

Probably get laughed at, but any genuine replies would be much appreciated.

Cheers in advance. Its for uni btw.

£#%&! off

Proper arse seeing of sullerz proportions today

Football's more of a business these days, with the money from Sky etc coming into the game, and clubs being more structured to cope with the world of business, rather than just being a simple "football club". These days, honourable as it may seem, you can't run a football club as you did 30 years ago, the world's changed, business has changed, everything's changed a lot.

Of course a consequence of that is teams going into Administration because they can't cope with escalated demands. As well of the instability of things like ITV Digital years ago. You have to be so careful in the running of a club these days.

The culture of football has changed as a direct result of an increased influence by business

Women. :shakehead:

Oh and the price of a Twix at Old Trafford is a £#%&!ing disgrace.

There's more black and foreign players. I'd maybe write a thesis about how it's their fault.

Just don't find the same tired predictable responses to posts that funny tbh. Ooh lets have a gif, that will be REALLY funny.

Thanks, that's exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for. Do you go to matches? Or did?

Cheers for the sensible reply

All seater stadiums, foreign ownership, more foreign players, higher wages, change in styles of play, clubs as plc.'s, tv money.
