Originally posted by davman View PostAgreed, but I'd go further. Clubs should be forced to prove that they can afford the value of the contract when signing any player too, or preferably, be forced to put the value of that contract (the players wages) into a separate account that is ringfenced. This would results in no doubt that the club can afford that particular player.
Also agree with Pete; this country's football would be a much more interesting place if the top five or six just left to go into a European Super League and left the eighty-six other clubs to draw up a system that would look after the game rather than individuals pockets.
If you believed the claptrap Murdoch's Sky sends out week in week out, there are only four teams in this country. What they really, really fail to see is that week in , week out, there are more fans interested in the other 88 teams that the 4 show ponies always at the top. Get rid of them and let English football get back to what it was in the seventies and eighties, when Forest, Villa, QPR (!), Ipswich and others gate crashed the aristocracy's party and Man Ure were not even in the top flight!
Carlosthebulb makes a valid point about how European Super League would end up becoming Exhibition Football.
Fulhams massive achievments in Europe this year is the first time since Blackburn winning the title and before that Forest the European Cup where a provincial team has upset all the odds. I remember growing up despising Liverpools dominance of the game, it is now worse due to the vast swaths of money in the game at the highest level. PL wages have doubled in the past 4 years. What we need is a big team to implode, my money is on **** to hit the fan in Scouse Land and watch them become a mid table team in the process.
IMO the Chairman of the other 86-88 clubs need to come together and show some solidarity for the good of the game and listen to the fans. Lets open the door to these so called Big 4,5,6....teams whatever and tell them if you want to join a European Super League then leave but if you want a way back in then you have to renter the League at the bottom because we are not going to restructure just to accommodate you.
Then when we have ****ed these teams out the door we can start making changes such as x amount of players in the matchday squad have to come from a 50 miles of the ground, we can introduce wage caps and redistribute the wealth through the game fairly. Clubs in the professional game can be twinned with non league teams, to assist and help one another and ensure we maintain a level of respect at all levels within the game.
We don't need the Big 4 they need us, its about time some Chairman from smaller PL and CCC clubs emerged from the shadows and started speaking up and acting for the good of the game.Last edited by W12_Ranger; 09-05-2010, 10:33 PM.

Unfortunately, the only victories the smaller clubs will have will be tiny ones, so don't expect sweeping changes.
I hear what you say about Liverpool, but their success was a generation thing as far as I can remember. They lucked out on the players that came through their system, they seemed to have a never ending line of top coaches, but I do not remember them buying that dominance in the same way the **** have and in a lesser way how Man Ure have done too.
I fear, like many things, those days are well gone now and we best just get used to it...:yush:

i have said this before but the trouble for the little clubs started when shared gates went out the window many years ago and for thatt you can thank the premier League and the big top clubs.Dyslexic so please don't feel the need to correct my spelling mistakes as I really don't give a **** and before you say use spell checker if it is spelt right / wright but not in context spell check is useless
