That is the other thing that is really apparent here.
Football, financially, is not a big business. Everyone likes to think it is, but it isn't. It's small beer really. Real Madrid's turnover for example is under the EUR750m thresshold above which a business is considered large or medium-sized for many things.
Emotionally they are very significant, and the wider public interest means these clubs are very important, but financially even these super clubs are relatively small businesses, run, on the whole, by idiots. What we've just seen is the leaders of the biggest clubs displaying not only an incredible level of arrogance and greed, but also a truly astonishing lack of intelligence. It sounds like something dreamt up in a pub. The lack of planning and preparedness is proof alone that these people really shouldn't be allowed to drive motor vehicles, never mind run a football club.
Absolute clowns, the lot of them. Monumentally and dangerously stupid men.
