You could go somewhere else for your food or nice work shirts and if one day you did not like it you could go else where, hence why so many business men want to step in make the a team world beaters and watch the cash come in. |

Re: Portsmouth
Or in our case, step in when we're already world beaters and watch the cash roll out
That's the trouble though, they see the €€€€€ but not the vagaries of this insane market. Which is why the wages are totally out of control, as we saw this week only too painfully. |

Re: Portsmouth
Pretty sad but hardly surprising. The FA should be held account for this. Too many people coming in to the game seeing it as a way to make money, completely £#%&!ing over the fans whose community built clubs over 100 years. It's no surprise that the best run clubs are run by chairman who make very little, if anything from the club.

Leeds/Portsmouth/Wednesday/Millwall - they all have decent followings and outside of the City a small amount of brand value. PE and Hedgefunds eat up businesses all the time, I just don't understand how the consortiums that take over football clubs seem to make such a shit job of it. |

Re: Portsmouth
I actually think footballers wages are pretty low down the scale of problems with the game.
At the top end, the likes of Messi, Rooney or whoever still generate more income for their clubs than they take out in wages. It's lower down the scale where it gets silly, remember Richardson on £40K a week? That's just £#%&!ed up. However, the talent pool of footballers remains fairly constant, while the amount of money in the game keeps going up at an extraordinary rate. In those circumstances, players wages are going to keep on rising. Since the maximum wage was abolished, I think I'm right in saying that average football wages haven't dropped once, season on season? Sensible rules, enforced Europe wide, governing levels of debt, % turnover spent on wages and ticket pricing would see average wages come down and clubs in a far healthier state. Just getting the first two will be hard enough and I can't ever see clubs allowing in independent regulation of ticket pricing. What I think it telling is how popular Platini's rules have been with many of the bigger clubs. Even Abramovich was in favour. I think this shows that even the biggest clubs are recognising that the amount of spending is unsustainable. |

Re: Portsmouth
I think those so-called fair play rules are a red herring.
The reason those rules are so popular with the established clubs is that they stop some arraviste club from smashing up their cosy oligarchy with big spending, which would mean their own spending would need to increase to keep step. |

Re: Portsmouth
Does anyone seriously think the "financial fair play" rules will ever be implimented?
"Hey, Mr. Platini, it's ITV/Mediaset/TV5/Sky here. We're not happy with the line-up.. who the £#%&! are Portogruaro and Almeria, and why aren't Real, Inter, United, Chelsea here. "Oh really? Check next week's listings. The clubs we want will be playing. Go £#%&! yourself." |
