I think a crash of monumental proportions is coming, which will hit the Championship hardest. Thatā€™s the division where clubs chase the glory of the chance to access the rich trappings of the Premier League. Wages and how clubs are financing themselves, seem to be shrouded in mystery.

I thought that crash would come during the last three years, it appears to be tipping some into the negative but not as many as I thought, how many though are propped up with owners cash?

Football clubs are likely to suffer in the long run when they are not run as a business. A wealthy owner throwing money at a club might help that club, but is detrimental to the game. We are now, even in the Premier League, seeing a division of 2 or 3 segments based on financial ability.

Sadly, this situation suits the Premier League. Money talks, and it finds its way into the hands of the overseers of football. Less money for them would not be welcome.

If they chose to run as a business now, most would be wound up and gone on the current state of play! I hope when the regulator arrives in the game they have enough clout to return it back to the people or as much of it as they can.
