it's a good rant with some valid points millom, but i have absolutely no sympathy at all for chelsea.
it is, however, about time that the fans turned on these players: it's the wages that these people are being paid that are pushing ticket prices up and up.
Nor me mate, abramovic(sp) and his squillions are killing the game.
But he aint the only one. The Lerners, the Glazers, The 2 new kids on the block at liverpool, et-al are all equally responsible imo.
Spence....I couldnt give a monkeys chuff if they are 2 of englands finest mate. What they are asking for is fuckin outrageous.
What i am saying is that fifa need to introduce the caps and ceilings before things finally spiral out of all control, at ALL clubs, worldwide. Apart from anything, surely it is in the best interests of football if everyone was on a level, competitive playing field.
What happens when these zillionaires get tired of their latest hobbies and fuck off? Or if sky decide long term that the money they pay for rights is no longer a viable proposition?(UNlikely i know, but what if?)And remember the disaster that was itv digital with Jonny Vegas amd his bum chum monkey? The end of that deal could quite easily have killed the game outside of the premiership.
The fans in this country are being ripped of and get a fuckin raw deal big-time and can no longer identify with their idols.
Ultimately, i can see this killing the game.
