With the future of many football league clubs in the balance (especially if they are denied income from home games next season at least from the start, as seems likely) will these guys who are walking (Eddie Howe, Paul Cooke etc) work again in football?
Remember the good ole days when guys who worked in football ended up keeping pubs or becoming newsagent? The 'keeping pubs' prolly won't happen, but you get my drift?
One could even predict that many of the lower league clubs will become amateur set-ups in the foreseeable future.
Any business that is reliant upon customers coming through its doors as their main income, if reduced would inevitably have to budget accordingly to make ends meet and sustain the business.
The fact that some businesses were millions in debt, piss poorly run and frequently spend money they haven’t got will before the pandemic will quicken their demise. Since Covid-19 we’ve seen Go Outdoors, Debenhams, Laura Ashley and Carluccios go into administration. In all honesty their demise will affect my house more than Rochdale, Oldham Athletic, Tranmere or Newport County.
To be honest the wages given to the top flight of footballers sickens me ( i know it's not only football)
I would love to go back to the age where you had part timers that got 15 quid a match.Good honest football.And in the meantime they
can pop on some ppe gear and help out with the elderly.
There's so much money in football should be plenty to keep 100 clubs afloat and reporting healthy profits. Clubs get too greedy and then everyone is chasing. That's why the financial penalties should be far more excessive.
I think for the size of the country there are too many professional clubs. I do wonder maybe if league level should be capped to a certain degree.
remember my first job as an apprentice in the early 80's and the bloke i had to work with in my first week was Ken Hollyman who was coming to the end of his working life
was looking forward to working with him but he never had a good word to say about the city and a right misery too
older posters will know who he was but for younger posters a city player from the 50's
Ohhh come on..Zlatan getting 500k for every minute he plays and he's not even the highest earner. it's got of hand
Definitely could change football as we know it.
Could be more people supporting their local clubs
Could be a push to a euro super league
It could be set differently in terms of rules and numbers of players allowed
Could have a wage bubble
Depends how long this lasts but ALL football clubs will feel the strain if it stays like this no matter who they are.
