English football and £££
English football and £££
How can football in England be allowed to continue the way it is??
All these teams paying crazy wages when football clubs are in the
RED season after season. And what good are foreign owners bringing
to the UK apart from huge tax bills that HMRC get to collect???
Sure they can afford the stars of the game, but what about English
football? Surely the PL,FA, FL must have concerns!
Premiership is full of foreign players and owners, what hope
does england have come internationals? Not that i support
England, in fact i will have a great laugh at there expence when
the likes of Scotland, wales and ireland are beating them just as
Northern Ireland did recently.
Yes and i realise leeds fell into this hole of paying huge
wages while not covering the costs. I can see it happening to other
clubs in the near future.
Couldn't agree more. It's a circus, a carnival and bubble will
burst one day (he said, mixing metaphor with cliche in a way only
he could do).
In fact, I've ranted about this on here before. What'll happen
is that the true soul of football will emerge relatively unscathed,
while the clubs that are spending ridiculous money now will
encounter many lean years.
That's if there's any justice in the world, which there
isn't...
Gap is widening from PL to other leagues. More money needs to be
invested in to lower leagues.
I guess its a catch 22.
Higher wages = better players = more
foreign players = better league = bigger viewing
audience = More money (and so it continues).
= England not qualifying for world cups! This is why PL bosses must
change something as surely they must put the national teams
interests first. If not we have to put up with whinging poms even
more when england cant qualify for top tournaments!!!!!
Be like Colchester - no agents deals, no agents fees, sound
finances, develop young players, sensible transfer dealings in,
good sales (Halford for example) to fund the club. Professional
board, professional administration, high quality coaching and
managerial staff and high standards for player behaviour. God we
are good!
It's a global league based in England. If English players are good
enough, they will make the top teams. If not, that's too
bad. 
the smaller clubs will continue to survive...all it takes is one
kid who is deemed as a 'superstar', the bigger clubs buy him,
transfer money gets spent and on it goes.
the EPL is a decent league and will stay that way...if one club falls, another takes its place.
it appalls me to see players earning 6 figure packets a week while people around the world are slumming it and starving, yet they still complain when they only earn �120,000 per week
sadly it isnt an english problem, more a global one...salary cap anyone?

I think they deserve all the money they get. They are the best in
the world at what they do and therefore should get top dollar for
it.
The problem starts when the players are young too. I've heard a few
managers of English clubs complaining about how expensive young
English players have become so it becomes more economic to buy
foreign kids at 15, 16 and 17 and put them in the club
academy and reserve team for 3 or 4 years than to identify and
recruit local talent.
That's why the big clubs can afford to have networks of scouts around the world and why 9 yo's in Australia get signed by the scum
I would like to see quota's for local players like UEFA have introduced for european competition.
