Disillusioned with Football £££

[coolcity]

I think it might just be you and me OP. We may have won the treble but that just brings on more greed. A game in Athens in August. No fucker would choose that as a venue at that time of year. Mind you who'd pick Saudi Arabia ?
Fifa battling it out with Uefa all because of money. Extra games in the Champs League to stave off a super league.
A Friday night match to open the season, fuck off. Stop selling your soul.
I will be priced out of watching City soon. (Prices for the Champs League this year will be interesting)

I was priced out of it a long time ago, and (mostly due to disability to be fair) am an air supporter, but would I swap this to watching us getting relegated when we couldn't beat Luton at home, or played for the draw against Liverpool when we needed a goal? No chance.

If anyone is to blame is the governing bodies. The PL started the current gold rush by putting the matches out to auction, and let's not forget they are a seriously wealthy organisation in their own right.

We wouldn’t be where we are if it wasn’t for money.

Not at all, but if we don’t sign anyone and the rag shit get Kane or Mbappe then I’ll probably veer more towards rugby and distance myself from football.

I just wish we’d be the ones spending obscene amounts, I’d be delighted with that! Biggest incomes from the Treble, great commercial deals thanks to our board, best owner in the world, plus Pep, Haaland, Kev, the Treble, yet we spend like a mid table club. Should be cementing our dominance while we can and pulling away from the rivals, not being complacent or worried what dicks on Sky will say about ‘ruining football’. Fuck ‘em all.

I've read this about 10 times, and each time it makes less sense.

To be clear though, I'm not moaning about City. I'm talking about football in general. Jordan Henderson getting £700k a week, FFS!

That would last me the rest of my life, after tax!

I think you've missed the point too.

I don't understand your point....why are you bothered ? you openly admit you don't attend matches and watch illegally threw a dodgy stick. You do not pay a penny towards it so it does not affect your life.

Because the money is desperately needed elsewhere.

that's not football issue

This is a football forum.

I could go a forum about the film industry and talk about how they are over paid too.

My point is, Sky TV, BT, Amazon etc. have the money to throw at the Premier League and UEFA - why don't they use the money for good in the community, rather than helping the rich get richer.

As an established FOC I’ve learned that the best option is to go with the flow.. Shit happens and there’s fuck all we can do about it..

Well, never trust a fart that's a golden rule for us FOC shirley?
