Disgacefull!

[WTF11]

The gazzillions swimming around in the English Premier league ... Scum pay a Sanchez nearly half a fecking million quid a week to sit on the bench/play for the reserves...go on holiday...Average players in the Premier league earning £3+ million a year...

Two of our oldest clubs - founder members in fact - one gone the other going, One week of Sanchez's pay would have kept Bury afloat for two years FFS!!

I understand that the Premier league is a big draw and gets the Sky pie, But surely the likes of Scum, City, Spurs, Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool to name a few could cough up a little bit of their mega riches to keep our grass roots game going?

Absolutely disgusting that this is happening.

The EFL / EPL should get closer and work out a way of dividing the untold TV riches a little more fairly?

You said a short while ago that there weren't many things we would agree on. Well, this is certainly one of the few......but (yeah, always a but!)........isn't that greedy, over-paid, insular, fantasy league where we all want our club to be? And if we get there, do you think our owner (whoever that might be at any point in time) would behave honourably, as you suggest (and I agree) they should?

Part of me wishes we were in the PL, but for all the unfairness in this division, (parachute payments for failed PL clubs, FFP rules that fail to control PL excesses etc), a big(ger?) part thinks it's more honest, fairer and more true to what the game used to be (and still could/should be) than the PL will ever be any time soon.

Couple of things we agree here on then, 'cos I agree completely with your last paragraph too.
Not been on here for a few days as I am staying in Eastleigh now for a few days - so might see you for a beer or two while I'm down?
