Caught between the devil and the deep Red Sea here, whereas I kind of agree with FSG to not be cajoled into paying the kind of monies ramped by the Fraudulent oily lot, the Chavs et al, but where I do take umbrage with them is they certainly do not invest enough,
Dunno the exact figures but perhaps Lall can come up with the net spend over the 13 years of FSG’s tenure, since he seems to be the expert on LFC’s finances, it’s a fact that they don’t use any of their own money and this is the crux of the debate, it is because of the oily lot with their affordability that prices are ramped thru the roof,
prime example is that Silly Cnut Grealish, now market forces they say determine’s a particular player’s worth, but who is forcing the market ? is it purely down to what a club can afford to pay therefore the likes of the Fraudsters & Chavs would then by default initiate a rise in a player’s worth they show interest in,
Does that make sense or am I talking out of my Sphincter ?
If it indeed it does makes sense then the powers at be(don’t laugh) need to put a cap on it, it’s abundantly clear it’s already way way out of control and if it’s left to continue spiralling out of control we’re going to end up with a Scot’s premiership scenario where 16 of the clubs in what was once the greatest league in the world(not the Scot’s prem) would be left behind fighting for scraps from the top 4 table, and that would seriously undermine the entertainment value & prestige of English football as a whole,
Everyone who has a pulse will recognise that ‘money’ is killing the game we all love, but we’ve been saying that since Brian Clough made Trevor Francis sweep out the Forest dressing rooms all those decades ago !!
It is killing the game, where most were shocked and horrified that £1 million would be spent on one player and now 44 years later those figures have jumped 100 fold plus, so in 44 years time how much d’ya think a silly Cnut like Grealish will be worth thru market forces, £400m + ? I’ll let you know 🤪
It is also clear that authorative bodies are not doing enough to protect the future of our sport, surely if a slightly fat, slightly mad couch potato such as myself can amalgamate some figures together in a attempt to legislate the toxicity poisoning football, then so should some number cruncher at say the FA, other football authorities may apply!!
Go on Lall, get yer six fingers & two thumbs out, do some maths, math if yer a Yank ??
