The College Dropout Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Because PSG has more money than anyone in the PL. Than City? Don't care about transfer fees and wages. In fact, especially wages. The lads deserve all the money they get. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yorkie Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Glad I'm not pumping much money into football. Fuck off. I pay £20-£40 a month just to play. Not to mention gear and transport. Ah well. Pointless feeling bitter about it really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I refuse to believe it is sustainable, it'll all come crashing down at some point and there will be much schadenfreude. As long as NUFC doesn't crash and burn with it...It just seems so much like a bubble with valuations gone crazy and an assumption that more and more money will flow in. Having said that I should also put my money where my mouth is and go support a non league team proper Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 People rightly point the finger at Sky for starting this trend but it's been BT entering the market in the last couple of years that has seen things get really stupid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Aye yeah not all anyone specific's fault really (TV side, the FA and the Premier League definitely have a lot of the blame at least in the UK), and yes clubs with rich owners should be safe, however should market value plummet it would hardly look great for them to have millions of their assets wiped out, and then the prospect of reduced income.

Tiresias Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 To clarify above, everyone saw the big bucks and jumped for them, pretty much every football body / media body with any skin in the game scrabbled for it and gave no thought to if it may damage anything. Hard to say no, and in many ways the premier league etc is a terrific product, watched happily by many. However I dunno how much more room for expansion there can be, albeit I guess maybe markets outside europe can continue to grow. it does seem to me like it can't go on forever, and what if noone bids nuts money next time contract is out for tender?

Tiresias Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 Sigh yeah. Part of me can't wait till there's some 10 club super world league full of billion pound players then they can fuck off up their own arses and leave the rest of us alone. On the other hand, still feel a little twang of romance about the great European sides like Juventus and Real Madrid and that would ruin it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 I guess the issue is, is there a ceiling somewhere of global interest after which no-one will buy the product? The more I think about it the further away it feels in some ways, but in others how much more impersonal, how much less fan friendly and how many more walking advert dullard unromantic bullshit players can everyone tolerate?

Mole_Toonfan Posted July 23, 2017 Share Posted July 23, 2017 The people that think the bubble is going to burst, do you actually think that or are you talking from a place of hope? Because quite frankly considering how the PLs reach is growing all the time globally I really see no evidence it's going to do anything but get more ridiculous.

Sky are finding it hard enough now and i can't see Bt Sport growing any further You are looking at a very narrow viewpoint, the PL isn't as big as it is because of this country and it's TV money. It's the overseas income which makes it ridiculously massive and the reason the other leagues can't compete financially. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The domestic money dwarfs that from overseas, it's about five times more. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
