http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11675/7676688/Adebayor-Killing-the-game Interesting views from Adebarndoor. I would like to suggest that he himself is the classic example of what is really killing the game. A player who cares about money and little else. A player moving from club to club, reverting to type - lazy and uninterested - after he's won his big contract. He's not even prepared to work out his wages to stay at Spurs. When you have a lazy striker, good but not great, on £175k per week playing for a club that does even pay his wages - now that is really killing the game
We all remember the boy who cried wolf. I think Ade may have a point or two to make but the number of times he says other things which are so ' spur of the moment ' ( apologies for the pun which not exactly intentional ) just like when he was nearing the end of his time with us though his future then was still undecided and when he landed at City, that rather negates some of the good points he does make when he actually makes them. Of course the part he played in the way the game is today where players leave at the drop of a ton of cash doesn't at all help his cause. In the time when I megan to follow football which was back in the days of Malcolm Macdonald, I don't recall players being mired in so much controversy. Time and money change a lot of things.
Football has now been corrupted by greedy players, scumbag agents, Mega rich owners treating club and managers like toys and awful officiating is now added to the mix. Mistakes are made but surely this is the worst season ever for sheer quantity! I fear football is on a downward slope and will either get too expensive for the average fan or people will just lose interest.
