Football is dead

The tv companies can attempt to fake the experience all they want including the gimp who sits at the mixing desk sticking on fake crowd noise as and when , but the overall experience is sterile and not worth watching . Football relies on real crowds and it being a real experience , away matches , home games , tribalism , singing , mocking other fans etc . The fake version cannot last

Our situation now cannot be compared with Man Citys then even though 2008 was the start of the economic crash . Covid changes everything . No crowds no excitement and although in the short term fans may buy subscriptions to sky bt etc its just as likely that interest in football ( and other large scale sports ) will wither .

The economic uncertainty surrounding Covid 19 has put paid to any lingering hopes of a big money Saudi takeover imo . Man City were bought in 2008 for approx £ 200 m . There is no economic or other benefit to the Saudis in buying us this side of a cure or a return to normality viz full capacity crowds being allowed back in to grounds . Any legal moves by Ashley are likely to be to his own benefit and theres an end to it .
