Just watched a documentary on YouTube called 'When football changed forever'. It's about the 1991/92 season and the battle for tv rights to show live football. Left me a bit churned up inside I have to say but it was interesting viewing with some good music and humour laced in.
Its well worth a watch fellas. If you watch it id be happy to hear your thoughts on the documentary and on what you think has happened to football since 1992. Cheers
I think it’s on sky or bbc iPlayer. I have it at home and it’s great to watch
I'll watch it later Pass. However, before I do watch it. I'll say it would have been a more level playing field based on gate receipts. The product on the pitch putting bums on seats.
The larger the stadia, the larger the club. Who knows had it not been for the television revolution we may have become a bigger club than we were in 97/98.
The reason I say this is because we were heading in the right direction at that time anyway.
Not seen that pass so I'll give a butchers mate , many thanks .
Read a book last year on my jollys called " how they stole the game " , similar thing , big clubs have turned everyone over and they still aren't happy yet .
European league on the horizon , squad players playing in the PL on a saturday and the stars saved for the new mega bucks league .
Not yet but it will come .
Did it mention Sugar? Read his book and he claims to have been hugely influential in Sky winning tv rights first time round
Aye the man who stood to make millions out of boxes and satellite dishes whist also owning Spurs .Quote:

I can't identify with the game like I used to. It's become immoral. The greed league is a million miles away from being working class

This is a good read pass on how the Edwards got control of Man Utd and eventually sold it to the Glaziers for £800m .
