Do we think there will soon come a point where football eats itself through sheer greed?
Newcastle are now yet another souped up mediocre club that will become CL regulars and eventually winners. Clubs in the lower divisions are struggling to stay afloat. Wages are frankly repugnant. Many of the players are easy to dislike, and the whole sport is drowning in blood money with no hope of a life raft.
Ticket prices skyrocket even more than the cost of living. VAR simply makes corruption easier, and major clubs have already been caught match-fixing. A World Cup in Qatar, FIFA ran by crooks, odious people like Gary Neville becoming star pundits.
Not just England either. Spain and Italy are experiencing massive issues.
Maybe I'm exaggerating and nothing will ever stop the capitalist football juggernaut, but things have felt very different over the last couple of years.
