The ironic thing is that it's all very stale because it's the same clubs over and over. This is what they can't grasp - they are the problem, not the solution. It's basically like a company making the same product over and over, but blaming the marketing department when people dont want to buy it anymore.
Football is successful because of its legacy. The problems they are trying to address are due to financial mismanagement and costs that have escalated far too quickly. Salary cap? No thanks. Removing agents? Nah. Loan restrictions? Nope, not for me. Closed shop league so we can hoard more money? Yeah, that's the plan.
There are SO many initiatives or rules that could be enforced to a) level the playing field, b) create variety and c) stop these clubs from an insatiable need for more money. But they won't do it. Their reasons for pulling out are nothing to do with fans, it was the lack of TV interest, legislation threat. If it'd just been fans, it would still be happening.
I think football is ****ed, because the right answers aren't going to be put forward/
