A good read. Yes attendances are on the up but clubs can't rely on that income alone anymore. A rich benefactor is a must these days (unless it's a US Hedge Fund of course!). We are lucky with Mr Tan at the moment. But you can't beat the thrill of going to a live game though.

Greedy players and agents are to blame, but also the clubs for giving in to them. Clubs strive to get to the PL for all the money it brings in, and then spend it on players who bugger off as soon as they get relegated.
