Money in Football Reviews

Yes ther are. I will be too!

Sad but not overly surprising. It doesn't really surprise me. The day football became a business it was the market that would decide. There seems little point in calls to regulate football or put a cap on wages (all arguements that have been put forward prior to todays announcement) as this would only put off players from coming to our 'green and ...

Did you know we have got a lot of good quality players that are in the lower divisions? and do they get a mention on TV? I think not. A lot of these million pound players are not worth the contract paper they are written on in my opinion, I am not saying they are all the same, as we do appear to have some world class million pound players until ...

As soccer season reaches conclusion fans of promoted clubs and league winners must be thanking management of their club and the players for the success. Relegated clubs like Charlton must be thinking what has gone wrong and the fans must be thinking millions paid in wages and still the dreaded drop. While it is true ...

Footballers, are they really worth the money that is now being spent on them? I must admit that my first love in sport is Rugby, however I am also a big football fan. I like to follow the Premiership and also International Football, but I do think that the money that is now mentioned in football is totally ...

INTRODUCTION I am a self confessed massive fan of football and in particular Manchester United. I have followed them for over 10 years now, nearly 15 years actually and in that time I have noticed as you must have that there has been a huge increase in the amount of money in the game. Both for players and agents and also in terms of ...

I'm sad to say that the game is being ruined by money. This has been a slow process which we have seen develop in this country. The value of players slowly went up from the early 90's and so did their wages. I think a significant event in this country was when Newcastle broke the World transfer record, parting with £15 million for Alan ...

Recently I read a quote from an American with an interest in putting money into Liverpool. Robert Kraft said "Liverpool is a great brand and it's something our family respects a lot.” To me these few words sum up where football as a sport is heading. Before the advent of the Premier League, football was generally ...

As many/some/none of you may know, I support Norwich City. Those of you who follow Football will know they have just been promoted into The Premier League. Those same people will no doubt also be aware that they are also joint favourites to be relegated the following season, along with West Brom and ...

Why is the Premiership Football association currently looking at imposing a maximum wage into the Premiership? Wages in the Premiership are continuing to grow since money attracts the best players. Having the best players means survival in the Premiership so clubs are willing to increase wages to gets these players and increase their ...

English football is now at an all time low when it comes to the financial side of things. You have to question the financial worth of the sport's participants in the reality of it all. In truth there are probably only a handful of clubs now in England that can be considered financially stable. The likes of Arsenal, Newcastle and Man Utd are ...

Footballers, what a load of geezers! I mean look at what they have to do and look at the wages they get for doing it. Bet all you hard workers feel disgusted by this injustice. And also I bet you wished that you had made that little bit more effort when doing games because guess what? I bet some of you guys could have ended up making millions just ...

Hush hush, whisper who dares. English football will never be quite the same again after the game this summer underwent something of a revolution, and it took the double dealing and lack of trustworthiness of a couple of television companies to provoke it. Things began with the collapse of the ITV Digital TV station and the ...

Being a Leeds fan I am understandably gutted to see the back of the legend. We had been building our team around the giant of Rio. Then to sell him after only having brought him 20months ago is suicidal, and to sell him to those people across the pennines of all people to sell him to! It seems that unless your in the top 6 or 7 clubs in the ...

Before I begin I would like to ask a question. From my title who do you think I am talking about? a) Veron b) Owen c) Zidane d) Beckham If you thought that question was ridiculously easy which I am sure many of you will think, then you may not agree with this opinion. Answer: Zidane. Sorry anyone who is French and if you take ...

Everyday I hear somebody talking about football, explaining that there's too much money in this sport. People not having enough money to buy food, and football players gaining up to 10 millions dollars every year (Alvaro Recoba of Inter Milan signed the highest contract of ever) It's a scandal ..isn't it? Not at ...

News just in, Keane buys oilrig! Mmm well that might not be true for the current state of football. But everything is getting a little out of control. Ok their argument - they entertain us, yes well that’s a good argument and yes football is probably one of the biggest forms of entertainment. In the majority of men's life and a growing ...

Rumours that several larger 1st division clubs are hoping to form a 2nd tier to the current Premier League have been circulating since the current format began. The Premier League was initially formed by the biggest clubs in the country in order to allow them a greater share of TV revenue. This was fine for those in the top flight at the ...

Strange times these ... the issue of money for the rights to televised football has brought football to the brink of a strike by professional footballers for the first time in nearly forty years. Back then it was the chin of Jimmy Hill as a player who led the players' revolt against the maximum wage and eventually started the ball ...

If we all look back 10 years at our beloved game we will see the English First Division full of English players earning a respectable wage, and a close gap between Division One and Two, Division Two and Three etc. Today, the game is barely recognisable from 10 years ago. Then, boards and direcctors had control over wages and wage bills. But now ...
