(not like the banks or the Greeks) Only then will the clubs start to see sense.It won't make a difference - look at what's happened to the likes of Portsmouth, Leeds, Sheff Weds, etc. All gone to the brink and everyone else has carried on as normal because "it won't happen to them".The only way things will change is when money is forceably removed from the game. The bulk of the money comes from TV companies who will keep paying it as long as there are millions of people around the world who want to watch football.The only way I can see it changing is the way F1 changed. The amount of money got so ridiculous it led to an uncompetitive sport and the punters started switching off as a result. They they had to enforce caps on expenditure to make the sport more competitive to try to get the fans back.We've got a long way to go with football though. If you look at the highest paid sports stars in the world there aren't too many footballers up there. Given the global appeal of football I think it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Apparently Ashley is offering the naming rights to increase income to be spent on players. Quite admirable, until you hear that the rights are on offer at £8-10 million a year. He'll get some quality players with that sort of money on offer.

Football still exists outside the Greed League, and is still be enjoyed by the fans who go to these games.Would you honestly want Villa Park renamed just so a few more average footballers can have even more money - as that's where it would go. Bigger cars outside bigger mansions.

Given the global appeal of football I think it's going to get worse before it gets better.Slightly missing my point - the clubs you mention were brought back from the brink. I'm saying one of the (so called) big boys needs to go completely out of business, close down, get the wrecking ball in.
The club's managing director, Derek Llambias, insisted there would be significant benefits. Newcastle hope to strike a combined deal for shirt and stadium sponsorship worth about £10m a year. "Our aim for Newcastle United is to continue to deliver success for the fans and everyone associated with the club," Llambias said. "We must make this club financially self-sufficient in order to deliver that success.
Villa to be renamed to Poundland Park.
a newcastle fan ran talksport the other day to say that the price of his season ticket has been frozen for 3 years and he pays something like 350 quid a season interest free.He also said that if you agree to have a season ticket for 10 years the price is frozen at 350 for the full ten years.Personally I think MA is terrible regarding his own PR but fuck me a season ticket for 350 for 13 seasons you cannot knock
