Why on earth should clubs like Liverpool and Manchester United care about clubs like Rochdale and Wrexham? Do those clubs care about Curson Ashton and Spennymoor Town? Do they bollocks.

Football is a business. The simple fact of the matter is that there are way too many professional football clubs in the UK and the vast majority of them cannot afford the ridiculous wages they pay out to their players. The wage bills at almost all professional and even semi-professional clubs in this country are in no way proportionate to the talent of their squads, but they shell out large sums of money they can't afford regardless of their running costs as they desperately chase success. It wouldn't happen in any other business and it shouldn't happen in football.

As for clubs representing communities, do me a favour. During the lengthy periods in which Cardiff City FC has been struggling financially, the vast majority of the population of the city and it's surrounding areas couldn't have cared less and the same is true for most clubs.
