Disastrous figures. :(
They are disastrous Al, We can now see how unaffected the PL really was with all the transfer about to happen and the vast amonts they're willing to pay. Back in March those big clubs trying to furlough their non playing staff so the Government paid those wages thus them saving money and now its like things since March never happened. But us at the bottom end will only have scraps, We need fans back in ASAP, Simple as that!

Football clubs will survive, just the current model will have to change. Players will get paid less and their will be fewer professional players.
Think you need to look at what players are being offered still, Staggering amounts in the top two divisions, Their models wont change at all.

No they won’t change. What it really needs is a levy on the Premiership with the monies going to grass roots football. After all , it would only amount to a couple of transfer fees. But it won’t happen unfortunately , who could enforce it?

I was more meaning at the lower ends of football.

Looking at a few clubs in L2 with their signings you wouldn't think so.

Not sure we got close enough to them to catch it.
