Football Finance Thread

[Banksy]

This thread could get quite interesting ( and revealing ) in two or three months time.
Looks like we’ll find out the weakest links sooner than we thought from the Championship down.
Sadly , even some of the better run clubs could face going to the wall because of the current situation.

Which would be quite perverse given the billions awash at the top of the game..

A real moment in time which will define the game at a professional level in this country.

Unfortunately I believe the FA & PL would not lose much sleep if a few lower league clubs went to the wall over this.

They have it in their remit to help out if they want professional football to continue in its present guise.

Reported that Serie-A is in severe financial difficulties due to the Italian lockdown with no end in sight.

When this is all over there will be seismic ramifications for all European professional football.

The PL will have to cut its cloth accordingly.
Lets hope the one thing that comes out of this crisis in football is a end to the insane amounts of money doled out to players & agents at the top of the game.
