I can't wait untill we can get our wages under control stupid giving them that much.
With the move to a squad based game how much is being paid each week across the 20 clubs to blokes who don't kick a ball in anger?

I think you'd struggle to find many players outside of Man City earning so much for doing so little as our "outcasts".
I now only really watch Championship matches on TV - the standard is good
Yet the guy who is actually trying to do something the tackle the debt situation is seen by English football fans as a French twat who hates the English. Strange.

Strange.He is doing so as that's the remit given to him by the club when he got the job. Any manager would want more money to spend, be it on wages or tranfer fees, as it allows him to build a better team.
The reaction to the 39th game I think, was just to test the waters of the 'home' fans. I've absolutely no doubt that they're quietly gauging potential responses to non-England based games. And, with many teams going to the wall, expect something drastic to happen sooner or later.The FA is not unlike the US military machine...if it means talking up a war and generating fear in order to justify a growing existence, so be it. Likewise, if it means the FA will have to talk up the glamour of modern football to take the game global and justify it's expensive existence, you can bet they'll do it.
Future Premier League matches may be held all over the world like F1 races. I can just see a 'home' based team for the games held in England and a 'travelling' team for the glory-hunters in far-flung places.
