Yes perhaps forced isn't the right word but enough pressure is there to overspend. As soon as any kind of ambition shown there must be some kind of over spend or gamble. We are currently seen as a bit of a beacon of developing slowly and within our means, but we are still over spending by 10 or...

Ah i get you, totally agree. The problem is that it appears to not be a chuck of the money generated that is being used to pay players. Clubs are actually over spending and going into debt in order to pay the over inflated sums demanded as the going rate increases because of the mega rich at...

Not a fair comparison. Apples and oranges. The salaries of movie stars and musicians are not putting clubs that are central to many communities in debt. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 using Tapatalk

You are spot on here. We pay $99 in Australia for all Premier League, Champion's League, Europa and Internationals via Optus Sport. Yet the PL decide to try and squeeze their core client base for extra cash. What really gets my goat is that if the premier league need to make some quick cash...

This.

I will concede that I am appalled by modern football in general and fully believe that money and the Permier League has ruined the game that I love. The trouble is that I love football and love the albion, because of our history I have a really strong connection with the club and, as my posts...

These in spades. I don't know what the answer is but what is clear is that those making the decisions do not care about their supporters/customers because they know full well that should some walk away they will be immediately be replaced by those prepared to pay. As I have said before, if I...

Now that would have been something. FWIW both Aussie Rules and A league club members were offered a reduced subscription to Kayo sports (Sky Sport app thing) for a couple of months so they could watch all the games. Much less of a capitalist, money money money attitude over here and sport is...

I certainly hope that those who are demanding a big name expensive striker are not also complaining about the PPV/Season ticket thing. It is all disappointing but frankly not that surprising given the nature of the Premier League.

This is highly disappointing. From what someone said earlier on this thread Leicester are doing it different and by the sounds of it better. Given that people are likely struggling at the moment, this is a disappointing response from the Albion.

1. I'm not saying they should play for free, more they would. Bit of a binary argument really in guess. Perhaps they could play for wages that don't put clubs up and down the pyramid in jeopardy. 50,000 or even 100,000 for top players a week is plenty to look after your family. The problem with...

A wage bill being paid to people who for most part would pay football for free. This is the bit I can't get my head around. There is so much money swilling around football at the moment, the vast majority of it in the premier league. Players wages are out of control, the sums they are earning...

I know a few that have started watching Whitehawk etc instead of going to the AMEX. If I was still in Sussex I can see myself doing this also. I more understand now that it is not the c standard of football that drives me. I watch Western United, I watch my local state team, my boys youth team...

Are Premier League clubs still going to cry poor when asked to help out teams further down the pyramid? Maybe charge a tenner and throw it into a pot to help out clubs that are really in trouble. Football family, my ****ing arse. Wankers. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 using Tapatalk
