A very interesting but concerning read

Very interesting article on football finances, I think we all know that football is a greedy rich sport and that nobody really makes a profit (mostly due to the nature of the business). I think clubs must start living within their means, the issue is how do fans get behind a club without complaining constantly about results? That is a pressuring demand, which puts strain on the manager.

Stability won't come back naturally for most clubs due to the nature of sacking managers to achieve short term success.

Finances are always a hard one in the line of football.

The sports become increasingly greedy and the days of millionaire owners seems to be a thing of the past, more multi-aires will be needed to sustain this game.

Could a monthly fair play rule help clubs to stay within their means? i.e clubs who operate at a loss must ensure they operate with their monthly income? Most teams spread it out across the season [or even a few]. Season tickets and shirt sales are also a big pay day.

Clubs at the lower end of the table must start living within their means.

god it casts a dark watch over the future of english football, clubs need to stop playing the dangerous game and just accept the standard that they are.

Has football ever been in a worse time?

Finances and the rise of hooligans makes me quite disillusioned with the game.

Silly, why would any club or owner put the fans at risk at risk like this.

I do fear for English football at the lowest level if this is not tackled properly.

Some of that makes scary reading. How are Scunny getting away with spending 150% of their turnover on wages?

The fact that most lower-division clubs make a loss is nothing new. Now, however, clubs in the PL and Championship are turning profits, providing an added incentive for club owners to gamble.

I think it shows that clubs can still break the financial fair play rules.
