Football so desperately needs a wage cap to be agreed, or at least far more realistic salaries to bring average players (of which there are plenty in the EPL) earning ridiculous and unwarranted sums of money down to earth and save their clubs some money. It's just unsustainable and is getting worse.
No-one needs, or more to the point, deserves, more than £5k a week in my humble opinion, and that's ridiculous in itself. That some of money will buy players a very nice house away from the local council estate, a nice car and a standard of living above 95% of the rest of the population. But players want to buy multiple cars, racehorses, property and invest their millions offshore to avoid paying tax. It's all wrong.
Very few clubs are run properly and the likes of Man C, Man U, Chelsea and just trying to outdo each other with very few honours to fight over if we're being honest.
Debt is everywhere in football and a lot of teams simply have the assets on the pitch not elsewhere. Some, like Bolton, don't even have that. How long can they last being the best part of £200m in the red without the debt being written off by a wealthy investor ? From where I'm sitting, they don't look an attractive proposition to me.
Unless things change, less and less teams will be able to compete at any level and it's already a very uneven playing surface. And I'm not talking about The Mem here !!
Sky blanket coverage, and stupid sums of money to pay failures (parachute payments) have killed the game.
