Championship turmoil

Sheffield Wednesday, Birmingham City (again) and now Derby.................

Depends on the punishment, but Brum and Derby could go down and the Wendies could miss out on the playoffs.

 

Scarey ****.
In the next couple years there will be more in the same boat.

 

Incredible that these are big financial businesses with accountants and other business and financial experts yet they can’t adhere to the rules governing their business.

 

I think its about time football got real again.......<worrying times ahead for most>

we never needed tv money it was a working mans game, some greedy teams in the top division sold us out for self interest and the rest is history that's still in the making.

the problem is that when you ask an accountant a question, they will answer by asking you what you would like the answer to be. Financial matters are wide open to adjustments but at some point, there will be other accountants who will call you on it and there will be a final adjudication. Get that wrong and you are the wrong side of the rules.....then penalties.

 

It’s the fans who suffer

 

Money has ruined football.

 

Jimmy hill has a lot to answer for.

Inflation adjusted of course

 

It has all gone crazy and too far for a solution. It's going to take a massive crash to get the game straight again.

 

when you hear of average players like Dwight Gayle only being allowed to go on loan if they pay his £60k weekly wages then its fair to say football as a business is prone to be unsustainable and teetering on the brink.

Okay, at an average of 3.67% inflation per year for the 60 years from 1960, £20 then = £4,400 now.

Let's be generous, although I don't know why, and call it £4,500 per week = £235,000 per year. Not bad if you can get it.

Quite a few players earn over that per week, before any bonuses, advertising or endorsements.

Yes, the world has gone mad and, one day, it will all come crashing down.

 

Its around what a typical international rugby player gets.

And when they get battered, they get up and get on with it, not roll about on the floor when their mascara gets smudged.

(OOOPPS my true roots coming to the fore there ).

You mean you're not really blonde?

 

Well, I was, until most of it fell out.

Sort of sandy coloured halo now.

I should have said that's a simple calculation not compound. In reality it would be a lot more.

 

Unfortunately, demand is just far too high for games on Sky / BT Sports etc for them to stop. I blame the plastics!

 

Although I doubt the clubs will ever agree to it, do you guys think that a salary cap system as per the Premiership in rugby and the NFL would work?
