    The League's far too unbalenced......

    Premier League have spent over 1.2 Billion in transfer fees while lower league clubs scratching around for the tea lady's wages. For instance, Gareth Bale getting £600,000 a WEEK, I know split between Spurs and Madrid, that kind of money is just sick when clubs like Mansfield have gone bust while owing a few thousand.

    If Spurs don't win the League this year somethings wrong.

    No fans in the ground. It is baffling in relation to lower league clubs like Swindon being able to pay the wages at all.
    Our manager has mentioned that the big clubs need to share the love a bit.

    I can see top clubs doing OK ish on merchandise but how can this continue.
    .
    I don't doubt that I am not the only one rapidly losing interest as well

    Good post claw.

    That Bale deal seems an extravagance. Real Madrid always seem to be able to fleece clubs when doing their deals

    Anyone on £600.000 per week in any role in life is immoral in my opinion.
    As for lower league clubs they sadly may lose their pro/semi status but they have true supporters who will resurrect their clubs albeit maybe with just a few hundred proper fans.
    But they will still exist and overpaid so called footballers should be ashamed of themselves.

    I don't like to see clubs go bust, mainly because of the fans, but you have to remember that all these clubs are businesses. Asking one business to give money to another business is a difficult one. I don't know the answer but I hope that somehow all clubs can survive these difficult times.

    If Spurs don't win the League this year somethings wrong. Love it claw.

    I get what you saying Dave about elite football being a business which sadly it is ( always has been i guess).
    But for proper fans the word "sport" Means "Win some ..Lose some".
    I have played Sunday league/ Other leagues (when i was fitter) lol.
    But we still played under FA Rules and paid fines for yellow/red card ect.
    I still owe some of my fines Lol.

    My heart skipped a beat when I read that Mansfield had gone bust only then to realise that you must have meant Macclesfield

    Chalky kid was having a right kerfuffle there when he thought Mansfailed Fc had gone bust.
    Ive never seen him get so excited on here lol, it was like his County Fc had won the Anglo Italian cup all over again.
