Full doc on YT. 

It's not as if noone saw what would happen. But, as always, greed wins.


They were spot on with this, nailed it all apart from the £5 per game ppv. I guess even they didn’t expect inflation to be quite so severe. 

The second contributor, Alex Flynn, looks remarkably like someone else I know…

He knew it was a trap all along.

Javier Tebas bizarrely compares online football piracy to drug crime and child exploitation

"If you go to Google and type in ‘I want to buy cocaine’ or ‘child sex’ nothing appears. But if you type in ‘free football’ it appears. One is considered a serious crime, but the other is not, and it’s the same thing”

Seems like everyone in power in football nowadays is just a variation of this to some degree.

The Premier league clubs spent over £400m in a year on agents fees. Absolute madness. link

Quote

Chelsea paid out more than £75m to football agents and intermediaries over the 12-month period to February 2024, as Premier League clubs spent a combined £409.5m.

Manchester City's outlay on agent fees exceeded £60m, according to figures released by the Football Association detailing payments made by Premier League, EFL and National League clubs.

The figures may also include transactions which clubs entered into before the start of the reporting period in February 2023.

Chelsea (£75.1m) and Manchester City (£60.6m) far outspent their Premier League rivals, with Manchester United the third-highest spenders (£34m) - having paid less than half of Chelsea's total.

It comes after Chelsea's spending on transfer and loan fees since Todd Boehly took over ownership of the club in the summer of 2022 exceeded the £1bn mark. Among the deals, the signing of midfielder Moises Caicedo could rise to a British record £115m.

Liverpool (£31.5m), Arsenal (£24.7m) and Aston Villa (£21.1m) all spent in excess of £20m on agent fees, with Tottenham (£19.7m) and Newcastle United (£18.8m) close behind.

Luton Town spent the least among Premier League clubs, paying out £2m, as last season's relegated top-flight clubs Leeds United (£13.2m), Leicester City (£8.1m) and Southampton (£7.5m) had the highest costs among current Championship teams.

The total combined outlay among Championship clubs was £61.3m, compared to £5.1m in League One where Derby County(£434,465) spent the most.

£75m from Chelsea alone is eye watering. Utter madness. Game hast lost all proportion. That’s a bigger spend than many teams in a transfer season in the bottom half.

FFP & PSR are just some letters from the alphabet for the Sky favourites, then.

We've spent more than Tottenham and Newcastle have.

In fact, our agent spend of £21.1m would be in our top 10 most expensive transfers of all time.

 

Let's not pretend this is a "Sky clubs" problem.

OK, but Chelsea & Man City are way ahead at the top of the agents' fees league

Exactly. Man City in 2nd spent almost as much on agents as 3rd and 4th combined.

11 out of 12 Premier League clubs have so far announced season ticket price increases. Palace the only team to not hike the prices

There have been protests from fans of Newcastle, Fulham, Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and more - the game is moving further and further away from its traditional support.

The next big jump will be the first team to get rid of season tickets altogether and go purely memberships - my money for that would be on Fulham.

To be honest inflation has been rampant for the last few years. The price of everything is going up across the economy. Whether premier league football is rich enough to eat those increases without passing them on to fans is a moot point, because we all know they won't as the demand for tickets is there.

Or because FFP says that they can't 

In theory man city's owners are rich enough to make tickets £10 each but the rules kind of mean that they can't, instead they have to maximise their revenue 

The price of kits etc is the same, they chase £50m+ per year deals to tick the FFP box and then it's the fans who end up feeling the £100+ shirt price in return
