Whats wrong with football?

[Reg Smeeton]

Hearing that Chelskie have got 28 players out on loan.

Ffs they may as well start their own league.

If Chelsea had a B team playing in Div 3, then I guess they'd need a squad of say 24/25 or so.  This is the sort of thing that Dyke is proposing......Moyes has just been on the radio talking about his missionary work in Spain. and he's on about how good it is that Sociedad have a B team, just the sort of thing we could do with here.

Nope, I'm fine with Chelsea using this way of getting young players some experience...

Nowt wrong with football tonight.  The Filthy Franchisr have just gifted us an opportunity to open up a 4 point gap with 3rd place tomorrow.  We have to capitalise.  Get in!

[THE FLASH]

The O's fans seem to think its Dossena thats on £20k but also that McAnuff, Simpson and Henderson are all on between £8k and £10k per week as well.

Thats probably just a little less than the 82ers are paying in wages per player yet they have something to show for it, whereas Orient are relegation fodder this season.

So it seems that the wages those 4 players at Orient exceed our WHOLE playing budget. Thats appalling.

Cuthbert must be on 30k at least...

You have to pay for pure quality..

Premier League tv rights for the UK have sold for £5bn.

There's too much money in the PL, players are paid too much, it doesn't filter down the leagues, it all goes to foreigners, blah blah blah.

You can't blame Clubs, or The FA, or even the TV companies for the ludicrous amounts of money paid out for TV rights to games. You can however blame the consumers of said 'product'. Demand dictates the price and the demand is huge.

£10 million per match apparently. Lunacy

I just can't see how that's profitable when streaming is so rampant. I have BT Sport as I have BT Internet but I certainly won't pay for it if it ends up costing Sky level prices. It's a big gamble for those two companies, the subscriber model isn't secure enough to withstand huge price hikes surely?

And yet they can't have ticket prices the working man and his family can afford.

Lets hope not.

I'm a mug because is subscribe to sky and bt sport. If everyone said fuck it I'm out and cancelled then maybe things might change but until then it will be what it is. The money footballers are getting paid is way beyond stupid now too. It should have been capped years ago.

[Peter Venkman]

£112,000 per minute of coverage apparently or the equivalent of giving every fan attending £50 each per game.

Off hired my sky and to honest don't miss the wall to wall football.
99 times out of 100 only watched it cos it was on not cos I particularly wanted too.
Am sure many out there do the same.

Bottom team in the prem now gets 99 million
 
If and when the bubble bursts will be very messy

Of course...because generally football fans are mugs, ultimately if we don't like it we can always not subscribe.
