I think the football world has gone mad (der) .
100m for he who shall not be named, 150m? for Kane, Lukaku 97m, Sancho 73m, White 50m and JWP available for the same, Messi on 800k a week and Arsenal now about to pay upto 30m for a keeper with 2 successive relegations to his name. Surely this cannot last especially after the financial fallout of the worldwide C.V.?
It's almost like money is just a number bandied about nowadays, we do the same on here, me included, saying we should sign so and so, but when you take a step back and really think about it, it's scary.
A tipping point will surely be reached where it cannot be sustained much longer.
We've seen with the failed ESL debacle the bigger clubs desperately grasping for more of the financial pie and it will come about at some point under a different guise. Its time that ALL governing bodies banded together and made football an even playing field for all not just the wealthy and "elite".
Maybe then we may get the "working man's" game back where everyone has a chance but I doubt it.

Not sure if you can remember Moose, but not so long ago I predicted that football would implode, if things do not change.
Those things will not change, and the world as it is now will lose all forms of entertainment as we know it.
Games like football that attract mass gatherings are not wanted anymore, and in time will cease to be.
Money will play a huge part in this, and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
I will stop there, because it gets very deep.

I remember it Dave and it's true. Audiences worldwide are now more likely to watch a game on the TV rather than go to an actual live event. I myself tend to watch games on the telly as it's not economically viable for me to go anymore, would love to, but you're probably talking £100 per match with travel, food and drink.
That plus the growing number of foreign fans, China etc mean that there's more demand for televised games and wanting to see the "big" teams.
It's a shame as the vibe you get from actually being there is indescribable and cannot be replicated on a screen.
We probably all thought that Sky was good for football but it's probably proved the catalyst that started all of this.
It's like a snake devouring it's own tail.
SHEGFY.

Always found Heinz are the most reliable sauces Dave, those Tesco’s own brand ones have always been a bit dodgy 😂 SHEGFY.
