[QUOTE="Mr Radish, post: 727585, member: 7342"] Well all great fun.:thumbsup: More sobering thought though. . . .. Just how far removed from the fans has football become in this country? Half the owners need sat nav just to find the club they own. You no longer need millions to compete. .. . you need billions. Players increasingly don't care about who they play for as long as the money is right.. . . .Forget the badge kissing . . few mean it. Local communities and grass roots football are been forgotten about. The national team managed by an Italian struggles to find 11 decent players whilst most premier teams struggle to field 2 or 3 British players. Some of the most famous clubs in the country are now part of refinancing deals and massively in debt, despite all the money about. Conduct on the field of play is at times wretched. Despite all this I still love football, but cannot be anything other than saddened for the loss of the soul of the game. Warning - You could have 15 billionaire owners and you still only have one league winner and four Champions League places. . . .. Someone will be disappointed. Soon these owners will seek to change the game forever to try and create the European League in order to prop up their investment, when the domestic game does not cut it anymore. Or if a few get bored or the money dries up due to the harsh economic climate, clubs could be left bankrupted or the game could go into melt down. If football was a market (and it is) such as the housing market, it would be deemed unsustainable by many and a massive readjustment to the market would be inevitable. When Saturday Comes. . . . .Yeah right!:( [/QUOTE]
