Load of utter bollocks. Bury went pop, Portsmouth went down a few leagues. That was it. Overblown political garbage. Immigration, NHS, education, infrastructure; housing, poverty. Every government continues to fail the country, why on earth would they be any good at football? Isn’t their remit what the ****ing FA is there for??
The problem is there's the tyranny of the majority in the Premier and Parry and co giving it the Oliver twist beneath. Newcastle, Villa, Forest and Everton are being voted and squeezed into oblivion.
Essential, as it doesn't work having 20 self-serving clubs, three of whom are just passing through, trying to govern themselves, with a number of unqualified paid incompetent bureaucrats trying to administer it. Will depend entirely on the quality of the independent regulator appointed though.
Think the idea is right but who is making these decisions? I honestly think football needs to be ran by people who have been involved in the game - the only problem is 90% of professional footballers are as thick as two short planks.
Great point I heard today - the PSR debacle has actually been partly responsible for ridiculous ticket price inflation. Tickets equate to around 20% of matchday revenue (so I hear) so with the PL constantly blocking clubs attempts to get outside funding - even at zero risk to the club - the bill has been passed to those who can least afford it. The PL really are a ****ing disgusting disgrace, when you get down to it.
We should follow the German model. This **** is just adding another level of beurocracy. That's never a good thing.
Calling bullshit on this. Its the typically lazy commercial practice of screwing your captive audience instead of going out and finding new sources of sponsorship income.
So capping sponsorship income doesn’t have an impact? Of course there’s clearly going to always be a form of capitalising on misplaced loyalty (aka greed) but costs are going up and the PL has made it harder to find these sources.
Sponsorship income is only investigated if it’s associated with related parties. There are probably only 3 clubs in the division who have that issue (us, Man City and Chelsea). There is no cap on sponsorship when it’s not a related party. Relying on your Related Parties smacks of a lazy commercial arm.
Nah I’m not having that like. Something is off somewhere. A £50 tickets only 20% of a match day revenue? So you’re saying on average a typical fan spends £1000 per game? I’m calling bollox. I couldn’t drink £1000 per game, obi couldn’t eat £1000 per game and chippy couldn’t shop £1000 per game
Probably depends on the club and might be an average across all 92, Simon Jordan came out with the percentage (I didn’t make it up, honest guv) - he usually seems ok with football finance.
Wasn't saying you were mate, just doesn't seem legit when it's broken down. He's possibly meant matchday revenue equates to 20% of a clubs annual revenue but no way is it 20% of matchday revenue. Let's be honest poor Simon talks first thinks second and backtracks 3rd. "The NUFC takeover is deader than a dead thing from dead land"....... meanwhile that afternoon
